XFX r9 270x with VGA Monitor with DVI - VGA Converter not working

[Kaushik DB]

I have

And Bought DVI to VGA Converter

http://www.flipkart.com/jinali-dvi-male-vga-female-converter-data-cable/p/itmefahymgghrffj?pid=ACCEFAHYGQHQFBUA

But it's not working.

1. I'm not sure if both DVI on my card is DVI-I or DVI-D but they looks exactly the same. (with the pin arrangement)

2. Someone wrote that i'm supposed to use that converted with monitor not that card. I'm confused here.

My monitor only have VGA, how can I connect it with my card (i'm also running another monitor on DVI).

The adapter doesn't look right. See if similar to

This model has a DVI-I and DVI-D, the DVI-I that supports analog is positioned next to the HDMI. The DVI-D which doesn't support VGA is under the HDMI.

If you need to use 2 Vga monitors, i recommend getting a DVI-VGA adapter and a Displayport to VGA adapter.

The only models we make that supports dual VGA without the use of a displayport are...

R5 220's
XFX One's
5450's

All other models require the use of displayport to get a 2nd vga.

Thank you

XFX_Support, are you sure? they looks exactly same though.

And I have a DVI monitor and a VGA monitor. So I tried hooking up like this

DVI (beside HDMI) > Adapter > VGA Monitor
DVI (under HDMI) > DVI Monitor.

My DVI monitor works but my VGA monitor doesn't get any signal nor the windows recognizes it.

Am I getting the Adapter wrong?
What apapter I should get. I'm in India.
Thank you.

Try testing the VGA monitor with a friend's PC. See if working with VGA to VGA.

Yes, im certain. Its possible the Port is bad, the adapter is bad, or the monitor and cable are having issues as well.

The dvi-d Port looks like a dvi-i, but actually functions as dvi-d.

Thank you
