I bought a ATI Radeon 4550 off of eBay and I'm trying to figure out what ports these are.
This isn't the exact listing btw but it's the same card, I paid more like £8.

If there are any adaptors to VGA from these cables then recommendations would be appreciated.

They are right about the S Video port (round one) but with regard to the white port it's not DVI.

Not sure what the name of the port is but it's a DMS-59 type connector and you will need a DMS-59 to VGA or DMS-59 to DVI dongle to hookup this video card to standard monitor. If you google DMS-59 pics you'll see what I'm talking about.

Your white looking port on the card in a D shape is a Dvi-D/I.

A Dvi port that will take a analogue wired monitor dvi cable or a Dvi digital wired cable Pip.

The black circular one is S video basically a output port to connect the output video signal from the video card to a TV.
Using what we call a composite signal.

Well if the picture is correct you have a DMS-59 port and a s-Video port. The DMS-59 is for running dual monitors usually a DVI-I type on that port. You need a Y cable to access it didn't the card come with one when you bought it? You can use this link to see one then look for one in your area.

Thanks for the help. I knew it wasn't DVI otherwise I wouldn't have asked. Nonetheless, upon looking at the info on these ports I'm gonna get a DMS to VGA converter as that seems easiest.
