Hey lads be grateful for a quick answer on this one.


I bought a nvidia 7900gs so I could hook it up to two monitors but the thing is the ends are different is there some type of connection I have to get?

The connection on the card is two red things while my monitor cable has blue ends and it won't go into the graphics card.

Grateful for any help!!

Do the "red things" look like this?

If so, they're DVI ports. You need an adapter for them to operate with VGA monitors, which has this connector:
