Please log in for more thread options Hello, I'm looking to U/G my video card to an AGP 8x card. Taking performance and my budget into account I've boiled it down to either the Chaintech FX6600GT or the XFX nVidia GeForce 6600GT. Both are the same price. The XFX card has Dual DVi but I don't know what that means. Does anyone have any opinions (horror stories etc.) on either of these cards? TIA Carl | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options what kind of monitor do you have? dual dvi usually means there are no conventional connectors, most new lcd monitors will have a dvi connector, else if you have a crt then you won't be able to connect using dvi i'd suggest the card without the dual dvi | |||||||||||||||||||

I have 2 CRT monitors. Can I not use some DVi-to-VGA adapters to connect the 2 CRT monitors to a dual DVi card? If that is possible, is there any image degradation because of the VGA adapter? >

Usually a retail (or more than mere card in antistatic bag if whitebox/OEM) card will include one adapter, for one monitor. There usually isn't any visible degradation from the adapter, but I can't recall if I've ever closely compared at very high resolutions and refresh rates. | |||||||||||||||||||
