I just finished a new build with a GeForce 680 graphics card, but I'm having trouble getting a display on my monitor. I'm wondering if its because my monitor is rather old. I'm using an ancient Viewsonic E90F 19' CRT monitor right now while I save up money for a new one. It has a VGA connector which I connect to the DVI-I port on the graphics card with the included adapter. If I hook the computer up to my TV via an HDMI cable, the display shows up fine and I get into the BIOS with no problems.
My first thought was i might need the NVidia drivers installed, and I plan on installing windows 7 once the package with it arrives, but I was wondering if anyone else knew if older CRT monitors are compatible with newer graphics cards? I'd appreciate any help. My computer specs are included below:
Intel 3770K
ASUS Sabertooth Z77 motherboard
EVGA GeForce 680gtx
G. SKill RipJaw 1600 16gb DDR3
120gb OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
Thanks.
