Hey Guys,
I have recently bought an Eyefinity 6 5870, and my current monitor does not have a DVI I port, so I went to Maplin (I am in the UK) and bought a DVI I cable and adapter to use and convert the signal, I thought there would be no problem, however upon connecting the cable to the mini display adaptor and connecting the DVI I adapter to the other end of the cable for VGA, there is no signal being recieved?!
I can't understand whats wrong, I was running a 9800GX2 and all was fine, I have had to borrow a little Eizo 17" TFT with a DVI connection and although now it works fine it can only provide a max res of 1024 x 768 LOL!!!! So I was curious as to whether it's my own monitor does not like the signal, or there is a discrepancy in the signal it's recieving somewhere? And would buying a straightforward DVI I to vga cable solve my problem?
Many thanks!!!!!
