How to connect 2 vga monitors to gtx 680

xSocrates · Oct 30, 2015

Like the title says, i have 2 very old samsung vga monitors, i recently got the second one from a friend, and they are the same model, i have a 2gb gtx 680, i see it has 2 dvi ports, but the second one has 25 pins, so i was wondering if it even is a dvi port, and if so can i use the second vga monitor or not?

Just get a DVI to VGA adapters from amazon. Just find the one that has the right connectors.

You could also just connect one of them directly to your motherboard's VGA connector.

There is a difference between a DVI-D & a DVI-I plug. If one of your DVI plugs has 4 extra pins to the other, that is the one you should use to carry an analogue signal to a VGA connected monitor. The one without those 4 pins only carries a digital signal, so it won't connect to vga. If you have one of each of these plugs, you will only be able to connect one of your monitors.

Yeah, the line with the 4 pins around it on DVI are analog outputs.

If both your DVI ports have them, then they are DVI-I (or DVI-A) and you can put DVI-to-VGA adapters on them. If the 4 pins around the line are missing, it's DVI-D and the adapter won't work (in fact it shouldn't even be able to plug in).
