    The monitor supports DVI cables?

    In that case before you do anything drastic and buy another monitor, buy some new DVI cables and try to use them with the 6670 graphics card and see whether it works. Also, try buying another VGA --> DVI adapter and testing that out too.

    It is a lot cheaper to buy new DVI cables then to consider a new monitor/graphics card replacement.

    We can continue this session later after you've tried out the new DVI cables/adapter.

    Are you using just one monitor? Are you connecting the monitor to the mobo connection slot or the GPU connection slot?

    He mentioned that his monitor (single setup) works just fine with his onboard card, but doesn't show an input signal when plugged into his new AMD 6670 using a VGA cable via a DVI to VGA adapter..

    He's going to try using/purchasing a DVI cable as the next step in the troubleshooting process, as the monitor supports both DVI and VGA cables, but he only has a VGA cable right now, which is why the adapter was used in the 1st place with the card...

    Sorry for the late response.

    After checking out your monitor's specs from the HP website:-

    Product Specifications HP w1907 19 inch LCD Monitor - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

    It seems like the next step for you is to get just one of those DVI-D cables and try plugging one end to your 6670 graphics card and one end to the monitor for further testing.

    Something like this:-

    For only $5.19 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 6ft 28AWG CL2 Dual Link DVI-D Cable - Black | 28AWG DVI-D Cables
