If you are going from a VGA source to a DVI-D display you also need an active converter, but those kind are harder to find and more expensive. http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=8214
In addition to digital, some DVI connectors also have pins that pass an analog signal, which can be used to connect an analog monitor. The analog pins are the four that surround the flat blade on a DVI-I or DVI-A connector. A VGA monitor, for example, can be connected to a video source with DVI-I through the use of a passive adapter. Since the analog pins are directly compatible with VGA signaling, passive adapters are simple and cheap to produce, providing a cost-effective solution to support VGA on DVI. The long flat pin on a DVI-I connector is wider than the same pin on a DVI-D connector, so even if the four analog pins were manually removed, it still wouldn't be possible to connect a male DVI-I to a female DVI-D. It is possible, however, to join a male DVI-D connector with a female DVI-I connector.[5]
you needed a card with dvi-I for native on the card analog support so as said above you now need a active adaptor to convert the dvi-d digital only to vga analog
good luck
just to add you could look at hdmi to vga active converters as well some time s there a bit cheaper the the dvi-d to vga ??
You'll just ruin it. It wont work.
DVI-I to VGA is passive since DVI-I supports analog(VGA) and digital signals. DVI-D is digital only and requires an active converter to convert the digital signal to an analog signal.

Okay, thanks for the help. I let it be as it is now [VGA to VGA]. Do not feel worth spending money on lots converter etc
