[tryphaa]

Definetely get an adapter. Also, why do you have a 290 and a VGA monitor?

[Coombzy]

I hope you are thinking of upgrading that monitor... and what @CoolBeans said is what you need.

No, you need an active adapter. It doesn't support DVI-i as it only has DVI-D which a normal VGA adaptor will not work over.

[GuideMe002]

No, you need an active adapter. 

active dvi to vga adapter?

[lapris54]

No, you need an active adapter. 

No you don't

[Gunjob]

No you don't

Yes you do. The 290(x) only has DVI-D and I quote "A passive DVI-to-VGA adapter. This adapter will NOT work with a DVI-D output. It requires a DVI-I or DVI-A output to get the analog signal to a VGA input (even if the adapter looks like a DVI-D)."

[GuideMe002]

No, you need an active adapter. It doesn't support DVI-i as it only has DVI-D which a normal VGA adaptor will not work over.

so there is no chance of using mga vga monitor in my 290?

[Excon]

No you don't

Yes you do -.- it has no DVI-D port... Also why the hell do you have that GPU with that monitor?

[GuideMe002]

just get a new monitor after u get the adapter

[lapris54]

I think you are forgetting to mention you edited your post

If you find an active DVI to VGA adaptor then you can.

[GuideMe002]

I bought r9 290 because ill be playing at 1080p soon. but for now ill be using my current monitor.

You're still wrong and he's still right. The part that you quoted shows the original post thats him saying the correct info.

290 is still ridiculous overkill for 1080p

[GuideMe002]

Ohhhh thanks!

[Gunjob]

I think you are forgetting to mention you edited your post

The first part was still correct I added more information, you are still wrong. >> "No, you need an active adapter." Before edit. Since he had been told to just buy an adapter he'd have gone and bought a passive one which wouldn't have worked. I'm not trying to pull the wool over anyones eyes I was providing more information.

Alright, calm down I was wrong
