Need some help with vid card/monitor

Just bought my first Nvidia card, 8800GTS 640mb, and i need some help. My CRT 22" is plugged into it using a VGA to DVI adaptor and I need to somehow program the card to shutoff the monitor when i shutdown my system. Currently the monitor goes into standby after i shutdown. I'm not familiar with Nvidia cards, may be someone can offer some tips?

I can't imagine that you're old video card functioned any differently. On both of my lcd's once the monitors detect no signal they go to standby.

Just out of interest I just turned off my computer and plugged my 22" Samsung into a power meter. After shutting off the computer the monitor after a few seconds dropped from 30 watts usage to 3 watts. Standby on my Samsung is indicated by the power led going from solid to flashing.

I couldn't get the monitor to shutoff with my previous video card either, i figured i'll be able to do it this time. Someone told me that it is possible to do, so thats why i asked. So i guess you are telling me that it can't be done?

Like what? Can you tell me?

Theoretically, if you'd put a (heavy) relay between your monitor powercable and attach the signal side to a PSU power connector, as soon as you turn on the comp. it will send a signal to the relay anf turn on your monitor.
There are probably easier ways to do this and i'm no electrician, so this is one of those: don't try this at home kids.. kind of things

It seems that this is more trouble than its worth. The people that sold me this monitor told that it is better to have it turned off with the rest of the system, this is why i brought it up. By the way, i have 22" SGI CRT, cant remember the model, but its made by Mitsubishi and is the equivalent of a Damond Pro 2070SB.

where's the fun in that
