Are you using a VGA connector to connect to your monitor?

You need an "active VGA adapter" for it too work. a regular adapter will not work moving from digital to analog. VGA is analog.

But my GT 610 work with that adaptor. I let it plugged in cable. What's the difference with the radeon 5870?

And with that price i can buy directly and dvi or hdmi cable. So what's special witht that ''StarTech.com DisplayPort To VGA Adapter – Active – 1080p – DP to VGA Adapter ''?
Is same think if i buy directly a hdmiI cable? My monitor have 2 hdmi and 1 vga ports

It just needs to be "Active" since it is digital from the card going to analog display. DVI to HDMI would work both are digital.
