Active DisplayPort to VGA Adaper for ati v4800

[james88]

Hello,

I would like an advice on which is the best Displayport to vga adapter for the ATI firepro V4800 (triple monitors). Do I need an active or passive one?
Thanks

What make and model of monitors are you trying to connect to?

If you trying to connect to VGA (analog) monitors to the 2 DisplayPort ports, then YES you have to have active adapters. This is true because the DP ports are digital and the old VGA connectors are analog.

Good luck!
