any VGA that has DIV does support DVI to VGA, for this u need a DVI to
VGA adapter, most of the times it comes with the VGA card else u can
buy one. that will cost around Rs.400

Kalinga Ayye;
Thanks for your kind reply.
I've got few more problems regarding this field.
1.DVI (Digital Visual Interface) .Does this port only support to LCD
monitors/High quality monitors?
2.Is that why we want a VGA adapter to connect it to law quality
monitors?
3.Will this Graphic Card (XFX GeFORCE 9800 GT) give it's true
performance with DIRECT X 9 versions?
4.Their is e rumour that most of the NVIDIA branded Graphic Cards does
make some troubles with the time as some kind of straight lines going
across the monitor screen .What may be the reason ?

Harsha.

i haven't seen CRT's with DVI since normally DVI is totally Digital,
as you know the computers are Digital, but for a CRT, they use analog,
same as VGA, so the VGA card convert digital to analog and CRT can run
on it, but LCD's are Digital, so there is no point converting to
Digital to analog and back to Digital for a LCD, so its always better
to use DVI if the LCD has it. but most cheap LCD's only have VGA.

but even tho DVI is Digital, on VGA card, it has a port call DVI-I
meaning it has both Digital and Analog, so when you use a DVI to VGA
adaper, it use the DVI-I ports analog out to connect to the monitor.

it aways good when you can use DVI, but it all depend on your monitor
support it or not.

i think you can understand why from the top reply

yes, it will,it even support DX10 as well

this is not a problem with the Nvidia chip, its the issue with card
manufactures, as some times they use low quality parts and bad
designs. so its always a good idea a to get a card from a good brand,
such as Asus, Foxcon etc

I suggest you to buy brands such as BFG, XFX, EVGA. These brands (for
NVidia VGAs) are on top of all other brands.

Also, ATI Radeon is accepted as value for money card where you will
get more performance to the price you pay compared to NVidia. But
there's no superior card or brand.

Sadly, in Sri lanka you will find it difficult to get a VGA from a
good manufacturer. Either its not available or too expensive. :(

Thanks for both of you,

from the above replies for this thread, i found that NVDIA is a chip
and XFX,BFG,EVGA and etc (As you mentioned)are the developers for this
chip commercially.I kindly request your solutions for the questions
below for more information.

1.Is ATI Radeon a chip like NVIDIA ?
2.If it is, then what are the best developers for the chip (like
NVIDIA has XFX,BFG and EVGA) internationally? what such brand can be
found in srilanka with an enough quality?

ATi is like nVidia.
2 mojor GPU brands (Graphic Processing units)
just like AMD and Intel (CPU)

Radeon is a category in ATi.
GeForce is a category in nVidia.
(Just like Pentium, Core 2, Athlon, Phenom processors)

Not easy to find XFX,BFG,EVGA brands in Sri Lankan market....
VERY expensive i think!

Here we have Asus, Gigabyte, Foxconn, MSI, Eagle.........

And a Graphic Card contains 2 main parts. The Processor and Memory (VGA RAM)
The Clock Speed of the graphic processor and the Frequency of the VGA RAM is very important!

Have to Consider the letters in the VGA chip model.
GeForce 9800 GTX is better than 9800 GT. 9800 GT is better than 9800 GS.

I think GS has a lower Clock speed. GT has a high clock speed. GTX has the highest.....
Same for ATi

If im going to buy a VGA from Sri Lanka, Unity Plaza i will buy a nVidia GeForce one made by Foxconn, Asus (or Gigabyte or MSI but not Eagle)
They are Cheap... and OK for me
 
If i can import (through a Friend or a Relative) i go for an ATi Radeon
or GeForce by better board manufacturers
 
I THINK, and I BELIEVE,
nVidia GeForce 9800 GT made by Foxconn is better than GeForce 9200 GS made by EVGA. Price would be equal!.......

thanks Akila,

their is another question. I think ur motherboard supports PCI Express
Graphic Adapter as it may have a pci express slot on it. There are
versions of PCI Express slots as 1X - 16X. What you think about it?
What's the impact that it can cause when we buy a brand new G card?

I've heard that lower versions like 1X supports the latest but not
with exact capability of the Gcard as this 1x,..... means the data
transfer rate.
what are your ideas?

There are several versions of PCI-E.... (2,3..)

I don't know that much about PCI express speeds.
I thought that the all PCI express cards are 16x or higher, since it came after 8x AGP.
but........!!!

Akila;
Thanks for that valuable link. Actually, I learned much more from it.
By the way, Akila. I
asked about your motherboard. Please check about it's graphic port. If
PCI EX graphic ports serial data transmission rate equals to the PCI
Ex card you wish to buy, then it'll give it's massive capabiity at
once on your screen. Please inform any thing and every thing you find
in this senario.
