That's a digital display converting into an analogue signal. Not sure if it's possible really, buy I'll look real quick...

This should work http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B005H3Q56I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1415029725&sr=1-1&keywords=display+port+to+vga

I've looked around a bit and yes its possible and compatible

Can you just run it off of one of the display outputs the 260x has?

Sorry, it's late at night at I'm not sure I really understand your question.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

LMGTFY links or other similar condescending comments are not cool on this forum.  If you think a question is dumb or a waste of time, you can just move on and you'll be no worse off.  There's no reason to come in here posting if you're not even going to answer the question and just make negative comments.  The code of conduct states specifically that LMGTFY links are not allowed, and I suggest you have a look at the rest of the rules too.

 

For your convenience:

Also, in a lot of cases forums and posts like these are what provide your Google results.

 

(P.S. Also for the record, backseat moderating is prohibited too, just report the post and leave it at that in the future please)

Mini displayport can be adapted to VGA. Apple makes a good one. Therefore it must work with normal DP too.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

i think everyone might be overeacting just a littttle bit? Just saying it seemed a little lazy imo and you can choose to ignore that if you wish. And i would hardly call that back seat moderating, and id like to point your attention to the countless people bashing re-posts, but whatever, you do you. @Kobrastachka my apologies for being "That Guy".
