Looking at pictures of it it shows an DVI-I connector that will support VGA but the specs say DVI-D which would not. http://xfxforce.com/en-us/Products/Graphics-Cards/ATI/AMD-Radeon-HD-6000-Series/AMD-Radeon-HD-6670/HD-667X-CDFR.aspx

Hello Gron,

Yes, it will support a DVI to VGA adapter; assuming your talking about these:

Hello Gron,

The adapter is $200.... your better off just buying a 21-23" LED Monitor. Unless you want a high quality monitor (I.e IPS/VA Panels), you can get it for under $200 after tax; assuming your in North America.

ok, i got the GPU last week ago when i went to USA (not from there and that's the reason i got to buy the 6670 2gb, the 1g ddr5 was not on stock), and in the box at specs clearly says no DVI-VGA adapter support something like that, so yeah it wont work, I used a 21 tv with HDMI, games looks good, but the text on windows is blurry

thanks
