Video card question

[adamhic]

Hi all, I've been looking at this video card and had a few questions hoped you could answer them for me?

There's a cable with it that looks like it connects dvi to d-sub am I going to maintain quality that way and is it a male or female d-sub connector? I appreciate all advice and/or comments on this card. Thanx

its not that bad of a video card if ur not a hardcore gamer

do you have an lcd monitor?

 

[koldapu]

oh wait a minute, thats not a dvi-cable . . .

ati compressed the dvi/vga/tvout things into one weird looking connector . . . but i think if you plug it into a dvi monitor, it will have good quality . . .

as for the card . . .

its a damn good card at a damn good price . . .

im not sure about HARDCORE gaming . . . you'll still be able to do gaming, just not HARDCORE

I'm not a hardcore gamer. No I don't have an lcd is that what dvi is for?

 

[koldapu]

well, i dont think ive heard of a crt with a dvi port

dvi = digital video interface . . . basically its better than the analog alternative . . .

i prefer it

So my crt wont hook up to this card?

Does that cable hook to crt's or would i need some connector. Thanks for your replies!!
