8500LE conect3d dvi->vga prob

[Paul]

Hi,

I have just got a radon 8500le made by conect3d. When I put a DVI->vga
adapter on its dvi port I get no display on the crt attached to the
adapter.

Anyone else got this card?
Is may adapter broken?
Is may card broken?
Just the way the thing was made

It does seem to be able to detect the crt on the adapter as it appears
to pick up the monitors capabilities - i think.

ta
Thanx

Yes, it is the way a 8500LE is made. You got screwed. Almost any other card
including regular 8500 can do dual VGA except 8500LE. It has DVI-D not DVI-I
connector so no VGA. On mine the adapter will not go in. I think they saved
a few $'s by omitting one of the RAMDAC's.

Too bad as dual monitors is a great way to go.

I've had no problem with DVI to VGA or DVI to DVI on my Gigabyte 8500LE.
It's been a great board for me: nowhere near state of the art now, but
thoroughly reliable.
