Gpu questions about input

[theFarseer01]

I just installed a new GPU in my desktop. I plugged in my VGA to the motherboard and nothing shows up. I have to plug the DVI from my new GPU into the monitor right? just confirming .

you should connect your monitor to one of the ports of your gpu

You have to use the video ports on your GPU, not the ones on your motherboard.

If your GPU only has DVI connections then one of them is likely a DVI-I that has both DVI and VGA connections that will support using a DVI-VGA adapter.
