Hello Internet!!!. (again  ) so I have 2 monitors. 1 uses vga and the other uses vga and dvi-d. I only have 1 graphics card with 1 dvi-d, 2 dp and 2 hdmi. Is it possible to get a cable hat connect hdmi or dp to vga and will it work or it will be fake and just plug in and no signal will go through???

 

Thanks,

From what I read, you're looking for an HDMI to VGA adapter? 

Like I'm really confused at what you're problem is/what you're asking...

Dude, why? VGA isn't going to output to anything worth a damn, unless you're running Windows ME... The only feasible way I see for any of this is you get DVI to VGA adapter to connect to the VGA monitor from your 1 DVI port.. Then HDMI to DVI-D adapter for the second monitor from your HDMI port.

 

I would seriously say screw the dual screen setup and get a decent single monitor setup that supports HDMI and/or DP.

If this is all you have, then I can understand that, but don't downgrade HDMI to VGA. That just sounds like a horrible idea. There is no single adapter. You'll have to go from HDMI to DVI to VGA. That uses x2 adapters. Otherwise, one adapter for DVI to VGA. The less adapters, the less issues with signal degradation. You'll experience this anyways with a VGA only monitor.

 

What is your GPU?

You are really limiting yourself with VGA. I understand the desire to have dual screens, but I wouldn't put in the effort without it being something legitimate. I think you'd be better off buying a $70 TV, and plugging HDMI into that than using a VGA monitor.

 

As someone stated in another part of the forum, it's as if you just purchased a Porsche, but are putting the cheapest tires on it you can find. Yes, its a GTX 1060, but you're hobbling it with VGA.

 

It'll work if you get adapters, otherwise, get a new monitor please. Do yourself a favor.
