If I was to you know, plug a HDMI cable up to my graphics card and then plug the adapter to my dvi-d port on my monitor, would that work? :P

It will technically work. I bought this and it work, but it makes both the primary and secondary screens jumpy. Cures doesn't move as fast and leaves a trail. I also had a DVI output on my monitor so a I tired a converter for that as well, and had the same issue (I think I little clearer with the DVI. I'm trying to put up with it instead of having to buy a new HDMI monitor, but I might have to eventually!

No, VGA. But you could connect your DVI display to the VGA connector with the right adapter.

I just tried this and it does not appear to work (it could be my DVI to VGA adapter, but I don't think it's broken). You are better off buying a mini display port to VGA adapter.

Hopefully you are using an HDMI to VGA, not a VGA to HDMI if you are taking the HDMI OUT to a VGA IN on the monitor. They only work one way. As far as the adapter, it's just strait wire - no issues there.

Edited answer: Monitor is VGA, no this will not work. HDMI and DVI are both digital signals. VGA is analog. DVI carries additional VGA pins that can be adapted to VGA, but those pins to not exist in a VGA header. You need a specialty adapter or a DVI/HDMI capable monitor for this to work.

Yes, but you will need a DVI-D and a DVI-I Cable, or HDMI and Display Port. Of course, with two monitors with that kind of input. Is a great card by the way.

yes either that or DVI-HDMI adapter if you already have a DVI-D cable lying around (not DVI-I single link). You can purchase one here, just search for tripp-lite DVI HDMI adapter.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

You need the convertor adaptor to do so.....I done it before for HDMI, but never try VGA.

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=cse&utm;_campaign=2914&zmam;=49733141&zmac;=5&zmas;=1&zmap;=2914&gc;lid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg.Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

Sure, shouldn't be a problem. I've converted mine to Thunderbolt. The biggest problem overcome by using this monitor is that the power has to go through this adapter. The DVI signal is fully standard.

Yes, very easily. Mine even came with a DVI to VGA converter. Just stick it on the end of your VGA cable and plug it into the card. I HIGHLY recommend this card. Great performance to price ratio.

Just to add to that, if it works great with HDMI, it would work great with DVI too-they're basically the same thing, and a $20 cable or whatever would adapt it.

Depends on both your input and output sources. I can't promise it will work on your setting even this is an active adapter. At least, it didn't work out from my ps3 through hdmi with this adapter to a dell monitor's displayport .

I'm sorry, but I have to correct James C. Kenny's answer. It absolutely, positively matters. This adapter, as most others, CAN NOT work VGA --> HDMI. You can find some that will do VGA --> HDMI, but you'll get mixed results. The ones that do work usually have an external power supply attached.
