Does anyone have this card? Does this have out of the box D-Sub or not? The picture has a D-Sub socket. But the description only refers to a cryptic "adapter" which is not declared to be in the package, but then again, it doesn't say "not included".

Picture looks almost like there is a D-Sub on it, but best not to assume. Shouldn't matter though. I have a card with two DVIs on it, with 2 monitors. One is DVI/D-Sub, and the other is D-Sub only. I use a DVI/VGA (don't worry if mentions for going the other way only - ie. VGA to DVI - they work both ways it turns out) adapter on the 2nd one and it works fine. Only cost me a few quid from Amazon. Very cheap.

Actually this is what I used:-

Is a whole cable so I didn't have to have adapters plugging in. Notice it says about using a DVI monitor on a VGA computer (couldn't find one that said using a VGA monitor on a DVI computer). I worried about that, but it turns out it works the other way too. You can get cheaper single adapters that plug on to the end of cables too.

According to their site it does.

It's actually similar to the video card I recently got. A PCI version of the 9600GT with 1gig. I got it to bring life back into this old computer I use. Now I can play all the games I couldn't before like Unreal Tournament 3, and Bioshock, and The Witcher. My old video card would freeze about a minute into those games.

Here's the replacement:
