I MIGHT get grab fanless one, if price is right. Not holding my breath though.
it only needs a cheap passive adapter from HDMI.
"No bother at all" is still better than "not that much"
Oh, come on. I didn't insulted you by pointing at something obvious, did I?
is more trouble than being severely limited to a small niche of cards that still possess DVI ports.
Palit has determined there is enough demand to warrant and approach like this, and I'd figure, having skin in the game, they have more accurate information on it than you, or I for that matter.
Your post, about your TV, was giving the idea of having a DVI port was important for compatibility reasons. But DVI and HDMI are electrically identical and compatible so the adapter is just a simple piece of plastic and metal, not a PCB board with logic on it. No different than the DVI to VGA adapter for example. I only pointed to that.
I don't know why you got angered or something about that post to have to reply that adding an HDMI to DVI adapter was somehow bothersome. My reply was simply again pointing to something obvious. It wasn't. I mean, it's a 30 seconds task and a $2 cost. Someone could just buy a DVI to HDMI cable and doesn't even have to use an adapter anyway.
You replied with " "No bother at all" is still better than "not that much" ". I saw that YOU where not going to let it go, it was your way, or the wrong way, so I thought OK and didn't replied. Then you had to edit your post to make it more spicy and more personal. And now you accuse me for what YOU KEEP doing.
OK. As I said above, having a DVI to DVI cable could be a reason. Not exactly a reason based on logic, limit your options, as it was correctly pointed above in another post, just to keep using an old DVI to DVI cable, but...
Then the majority of consumers out there aren't exactly experts in video sockets. Many who wouldn't know that HDMI and DVI are in fact compatible will buy Palit's card thinking that they can't use their DVI monitor with a video card offering only HDMI and DisplayPort exits. Someone reading your original post would come also at that conclusion, which is wrong. I think that's what Palit was thinking. Selling to that target group.
The above model would have been great for old monitors, if Palit had done the extra job on the card's PCB by adding the necessary logic to also offer VGA out throught that DVI port. I mean, you can buy an HDMI to VGA adapter from Ali with less than $2. So, it is not some expensive logic to put on the card to add also analog out on that DVI port.
So apologies for not taking any unsolicited tips that were not welcome to begin with. Or having audacity to not justify my own purchasing choices to random strangers.
This is clearly going nowhere, so I'll leave it at that.
I'll pass commenting on the rest. Waste of time.
Have a nice day/night.
The DVI post is simply for those who think that the card absolutely needs to have a DVI port to be compatible with DVI monitors.
Also, I purchased and am using a Palit GeForce RTX 3050 KalmX 6GB graphics card, and since it is a fanless graphics card, there is no need for a separate power port and it does not collect dust, which is good. And of course it doesn't make any noise.
