It depends on the specific card. But IF the DVI port has ports for four pins around the wide blade connector it is a DVI-I port and will work with a passive adapter.

So it this your actual question, you don't have a display? Test the monitor with another system or test the video card with another monitor to see where the issue may be.
I would replace that monitor, you have a pretty decent video card, it's silly to have it connected to a low spec small monitor. You can find a newer 1080 screen for cheap used with the correct connections for your video card easily.
