An adapter like that will only work with DVI-I (which carries both an analog and digital output), not DVI-D (which carries only a digital output).

If you got your card new, it should have come with an adapter, negating the need for you to get a new one.

If you are already using your DVI-I port for another analog monitor output, you could get a DisplayPort to VGA adapter (such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815242010 ).

Thanks for the response. Currently, I'm using my DVI-I port (With the included adapter) for my main monitor, I was going to try to use this as a second one. Would this still be possible with a DisplayPort? I'm not too familiar with that output however, I think I've seen it as an output on my card though.

Welcome.

Using a DisplayPort to VGA adapter for a second monitor would definitely work.
