| Dec 6, 2015 at 7:11 | comment | added | fixer1234 | The site's Q&A format relies on questions being just questions and answers being solutions to them. Including an answer within the question makes the question unclear, and others can't search for the answer. Instead, please post the answer as an answer (read Can I answer my own question?). Thanks. | |

Correcting my suspected issue with the adapter.
|
| Dec 4, 2015 at 14:15 | comment | added | WabiSabi | Update: I managed to find another DVI to VGA cable which I didn't realise I had lying around which worked straight away. That's what I get for trying to save money with eBay I guess. | |

Added how issue was solved

| Dec 4, 2015 at 12:40 | comment | added | WabiSabi | @Hennes Interesting, I do recall the description of the eBay listing I bought the card from saying it could support up to 4 monitors, but then again I'm sure they wouldn't be the most accurate source of information. However it still doesn't explain why I can't get the screen to work in either DVI ports without my primary monitor plugged in. At this point I might just waste another couple dollars on another adapter and hope for the best. Thanks for all your help, as well as for editing of my post, I'm new here so not really sure on the post rules and expectations. | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 11:19 | comment | added | Hennes | I just noticed that your card has a "1" and a "2" next to the DVI outputs. I have similar markings on my own card and that one only allows me to use ports from "set 1" or from "set 2". I have problem finding information on that on Gigabytes website though. I also do not see a dotted line, which I do see on the 960. (i.sstatic.net/kHXjb.png) | |

| Dec 4, 2015 at 10:01 | comment | added | Vlastimil Ovčáčík | @user529584, yes, that seems just fine. | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 9:58 | comment | added | WabiSabi | @VlastimilOvčáčík I'm fairly certain it is running off the graphics card driver as I installed the drivers from the disc and updated everything. Here's what comes up under device manager: puu.sh/lIUTR.png | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 9:41 | comment | added | Vlastimil Ovčáčík | @user529584 That might not be problem, I meant the graphics card driver, not the actual monitors. | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 9:36 | comment | added | WabiSabi | @VlastimilOvčáčík I assume I am as under Monitors they are both listed as "Generic PnP monitor". I have attempted to install the driver for the secondary secondary monitor which I found online, however I don't think it is supported on windows 7, as I get a it is a very old monitor and I get this error the second I try and open it: puu.sh/lITdO.jpg | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 8:56 | comment | added | Vlastimil Ovčáčík | Could you also please double check in Device manager that you are using manufacturer's driver and not the generic one from Microsoft. | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 8:45 | comment | added | WabiSabi | @Hennes I haven't attempted that yet because it would mean I have to reinstall my old graphics drivers and remove my graphics card. However I just tried using the adapter on my old computer set up (which has the same model primary monitor using a VGA cable) and the screen didn't turn on, which would suggest the adapter may be faulty. Will wait for any other suggestions, if not I guess I'll buy another one and see. | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 8:35 | comment | added | WabiSabi | @JelloDude Yeah, I've tried every option for resolution and frequency (60 and 75Hz) available and it hasn't had an effect. | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 8:19 | comment | added | Hennes | I use a similar card "Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 - WindForce 2X OC" and there was no need to use the Nvidia control panel. The regular windows tools should be able to handle this just fine. Q: Did you try the DVI-I to VGA convertor with the old setup to make sure that one is working? | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 8:18 | comment | added | JelloDude | Try changing it's resolution and refresh rate. | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 8:14 | comment | added | WabiSabi | @JelloDude Yes, it says it's detected so I'm not really sure what else I can do. See here: puu.sh/lIRpK.png | |
| Dec 4, 2015 at 8:12 | comment | added | JelloDude | Have you tried using the nvidia controlpanel to do the dual monitor setup. | |

VGA-> DVI is DVI -> VGA. Source of the signal is the DVI plug on the card. Removed dual tag since it is way to vague and we need to clean that up. Probably should get a generic [multi monitor] tag
