Bidybag, yes the XFX GeForce 8800 GTS does come with a DVI to VGA adaptor.
No It doesn't. I know I have one. It came with the card, driver disk, and Company of Heroes Game.
Bidybag :
I have one monitor and it works fine on my Geforce 8800 GTS. I got a second monitor but the connection is different. It does not fit into my DVI port. There is also another wire coming off the monitor cable, a green cable that fits into like a single hole.
Why is this monitor connection different? I thought all monitors had the same cable connection.
The adapter they are talking about is one of these:

My last card game with 2 of them, If you know a buddy who has a gaming card he probably has one or two. Maybe you can steal one of them. Other wise just go to a computer store and tell them you need a VGA to DVI adapter.
The green plug is for your built in speakers. Maybe a mic but they are usually pink or red.
The reason the plug is different is because your monitor uses a 15-pin VGA connection, this uses an Analog signal. The plugs on your video card are DVI connectors, these use a Digital signal.
