You're gonna need an adapter.

DVI-D to VGA (specifically DVI-D), HDMI to VGA to Displayport to VGA.

 

These adapter should cost you between 10 and 30 USD.

This.

You can't use one of those simple DVI to VGA adapters that only costs a couple bucks as these newer GPUs don't have analog outputs.

You might want to consider getting a cheap used monitor with DVI. I bet you could get a 1080p TN one for the price of an HDMI to VGA adapter.

Yes, you are breaking the law. The PCMasteRace counselor will hold and sentence your crime.

 

VGA is old. VGA picture quality and pixel are no good. If you are using VGA on new graphics cards and monitors then you should feel ashamed.
