So I recently bought a Sapphire 7870 GHz and the array of outlets on the back is great. The only problem i have is the DVIs are different. It came with a VGA adapter for one of the DVIs but not the other one. My dilema is that i want to set up a second monitor using a VGA so i need an adapter for the second DVI port but i literally can not find an adapter for this specific type of DVI. Can anyone help?

theres a link to the card. If you look at the pictures you can see the two DVIs. One of them has the 4 pins on the bottom with the + in the middle, while the other one has just the line. The one with just the line is the one im trying to find an adapter for but all the adapters i find have the 4-pins which won't fit.

The second DVI port is a DVI-D (digital only) port. You can't use a VGA adapter on that port as DVI-D ports do not carry the necessary analog signals used by VGA.

No wonder... i knew something was up when i couldnt find anything. I'm just gonna purchase a DVI-D cable since one of my monitors is a VGA and one supports both VGA and DVI-D. Thanks for the help.
