[BugzyHvH]

is this card legit? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Palit-GTX-750Ti-2GB-GDDR5-StormX-OC-Version-MINT/133366488734?epid=1525195080&hash=item1f0d431e9e:g:URcAAOSwhD9edL-O&LH_BIN=1 in need of a card, just wanna know if the listing is legit, not a fake china scam card, thanks.

it also says "comes in a brown box" is that a red flag?

The picture is of a legit card, yes.

Brown box will be because the card is used.

it also says no external power needed, what does he mean? pin connectors? and thanks for the previous reply

 

[Barty1884]

Correct, a 750TI does not require additional PCIe connectors from the PSU - it's powered via he PCIe slot.

Do you know what display thing that is on the back?
it looks like dvi-d but its too wide, and it can't be a dvi-i

edit: my bad, looked up the specifications on it and found it
One Dual Link DVI-I, One Dual Link DVI-D, One mini-HDMIStandard Display Connectors

wait, i'm confused, which one is it? 😀

 

[Barty1884]

That's a Dual Link DVI-D

You've already helped me out a bunch today, but could i ask a favor from you
Could you help me find an adapter for it? i just don't wanna buy the wrong one

I've got a vga monitor so i'm looking for (dual link dvi-d to vga converter, prefferably a cable instead of an adapter) i would really appreciate it

i use ebay, so ebay links would be nice :>)
if you're busy, that's alright

Some things i came across:
1: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Metre-Dual-Link-DVI-I-DVI-to-VGA-D-Sub-Video-Adapter-Cable-Converter-Lead-1M/391968018046?epid=9013631810&hash=item5b431d4e7e:g:6g0AAOSwvr1boN80&LH_BIN=1
2: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1080p-DV...45004943abb138ab4026a5ae41717aa66a5d&LH_BIN=1

i think (2) is the right one(?)

True "active" adapters cost more than that.
However, the card has DVI-I, which carries an analog signal and needs a basic adapter only.

This would do what you need (connected to the DVI-I port), and has free shipping in the UK:

Is there a nicer looking one? it looks like cheap plastic and it'll really show when its plugged in, i'm willing to spend a bit more money

and would this one not work? i counted the pins and it is 24+1 also https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-1080p-DVI-D-24-1-Pin-Male-to-VGA-15Pin-Female-Active-Cable-Adapter-Converter/383288390102?epid=5024785911&hash=item593dc4b1d6:g:QVAAAOSw6i5d3fNE&LH_BIN=1

also you're getting me really confused, because i did some research and the dvi-i cable has 4 pins around a single flat pin, when what i needed was just a flat bit for the end (hope i made sense) here's an example



(no "4" pins around the flat pin)

(this would be the correct one, no?)

the converter you linked me was this, how would those 4 pins fit inside when there's just 1 flat pin?

Those adapters like Barty linked are actually pretty decently made generally. They take the analog video given by the DVI-I port and allow you to plug a VGA into it.

They work differently tho.

The one you linked should work, but the price seems very low. It is just actively converting the digital video from DVI-D to analog and allowing you to use VGA.

So i should just go with the one he linked? i was just worried that the quality might be bad

The one you linked me https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DVI-Male...381278?hash=item339887fdde:g:6-YAAOSwstxU5x4A does it have 4 pins around a flat? if so i'll know what to look for

found something higher quality, is this the same one? (not the cable one) first version

i wanna buy like 2-3 of them (different kinds) so when the card arrives i won't have to wait another week to use it

i ordered this one + the one Barty had linked me i should be fine right
