GPU Shows No Display

rustytoast15 · Jan 18, 2018

I purchased a ATI Firepro V5800. I put my graphics card in my computer and swap the video cable to my display (DVI to VGA) and get no display. I haven't had any graphics card before this one except for the on board graphics (Intel HD graphics 510),

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H
CPU - Intel Pentium g4400
Power 500 Watts
8gb RAM

Did you install drivers for the new card?

DVI-D, or DVI-I? If DVI_D, is the adapter active?

Wolfshadw :

no. do i have to install the drivers before i put the card in?

DVI-D

Then you'd need an active adapter. A passive one would not work for digital to analog conversion.

You're welcome.

Wolfshadw :

do i need to install my drivers before my graphics card?

Wolfshadw · Jan 18, 2018

No. If you try, the driver install will not detect the card and (probably) refuse to install.

That, plus an HDMI cable should work for you.

ok so when its dvi-d it doesnt work with vga but dvi-d works with hdmi? btw that product is dvi-d

alexoiu · Jan 25, 2018

True, digital (dvi-d) to analog (vga) requires an active adapter. Digital (dvi-d) to digital (hdmi) does work with a cable or a passive adapter.

DVI comes in a couple flavors:

First, understand your ports:

VGA - Analog Only
DVI - Depending on the flavor is Analog Only (DVI-A and obscure at best), both Analog and Digital (DVI-I), or Digital only (DVI-D)
HDMI - Digital Only
DisplayPort - Digital Only

Converting from a digital signal to an analog signal requires an active converter. A simple adapter will not work. DVI-A (analog only but again, almost non-existent) and DVI-I (since it also carries an analog signal) will work with a VGA port via an adapter.

DVI-I (both digital and analog) and DVI-D (digital only) will work with HDMI and DisplayPort (both digital only) without issue.
