Seriously! After paying for a high quality Geforce NVIDIA 4GB PC CARD only to discover that it won't work without a very unusual cable mini-hdmi out, (which I really feel should have been included) so now I've been put off my install for 5 additional days waiting on that wire! I'm # disappointed with the inconvenience!

    Just pondering, but what video card that costs $100 is considered high quality?

    There's pictures and manuals for EVERY product sold that would both show AND specify which outputs are on the card. I'm sorry you didn't do the proper research beforehand and thus caused yourself the inconvenience. Hard times we live in mate.
     
    Edit: For the record, I searched B-stock and ALL of EVGA's GPU product pages. No GPU has ONLY the specific output mentioned above and they all have a DVI out in addition to HDMI or DP.

    I'm pretty sure the card works fine .... I think you mean, you need a cable or converter piece to go with what  ever display you have and failed to notice that when ordering.

    Hi warezaholic,

    I do believe you are confused about a few things which is causing confusion for everyone.

    Did you mean to type $1000 instead of $100?

    I don’t know of any gpu that comes with cables. The only “cables” usually included is a Mini DisplayPort to full size display port. I am not sure which card you even purchased with your listed cost, so it is impossible to know what cable you would be referring to when you say mini-hdmi out. I have two 690’s that have mini display port, but not mini hdmi.

    Could you please provide clarification?

    I do recall my EVGA 470 SC's having a mini HDMI output connector on them.  Along with two DVI connectors as well.

    We believe OP accidentally forgot a zero, and likely means $1000. Please be patient, OP needs to reply in order for us to HELP them.

    Since it says 4gb for the card I would say $100 would be more like a 1050. If it was missing a zero and $1000 it would be 6 or 8gb.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    You are probably right. Heck, it might even be a troll post like Jack says. Maybe the OP won't be back; having it pointed out that no one ever gets cables or adapters, with the purchase of a GPU, might have the OP feeling he exhausted his options here.

    +1  My 470's came with a 6 foot long male to male cable that is Mini HDMI to HDMI ,  my 580 Hydro Coppers came with a small adapter about 6 inches long and is male to female Mini HDMI to HDMI.  According to the box the mini is HDMI 1.4 , 
     
    I believe it was removed on the 680 and replaced with a full size HDMI as well as a Display Port connection too

    If it was trolling it wouldn’t really be that effective because the lack of cables is industry standard and if you got cables the cost would go up.
