    What ARE these sockets?



    I have a DVI plug on my card...but what ARE these two?

    I need a new monitor, and the thing I like about my LG is that is takes both DVI and VGA....I have this card plugged into the DVI and when I fix ay other PC's I use the VGA input.

    I want a new widescreen monitor but I'm struggling! Lots are VGA (D sub) only.

    What are those plugs? I cant find a DVI convertor anywhere on Scan's site, so I dont even know if they ARE DVi? HDMI seem totally different.

    Re: What ARE these sockets?

    Come on guys how old are you.

    You have there a crossfire MASTER card that socket plugs into a special cable which then plugs into the slave cards socket and somehow does crossfire, then internal crossfire came out and made it history.

    Any more.
