I have recently built a new computer to replace my older one. I have salvaged my Nvidia GTX660ti video card for use in my new computer.
In my previous system, the 660ti drove 3 23" monitors in surround mode. I connected the 3 monitors via the card's DVI-I, DVI-D and the displayport respectively. The card has a 4th port, an HDMI port. I drove an older 19" monitor on a seperate 8500GTX card via VGA. The two cards shared the same driver so I was able to set up a multi-monitor scenario (the 3 23" monitors combined was one display, and the 19" was the second).
With my new system, I don't want to use the older card anymore as the newer drivers for the 660ti no longer supported the older card. Although the 660ti card has an HDMI port, my purchase of an HDMI to VGA Adapter seems to have been a bust. For whatever reason, the male HMDI end of the adapter doesn't fit into the female HDMI port of the card.(???). So with that option being ruled out, I pose this question ....
Can I continue to use my 3 23" monitors in surround mode through my 660ti, and the 19" monitor from the VGA port of my Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI motherboard?
If so, is anyone able to provide any guidance on how?
