How to use GPU through motherboard VGA

[mwaiz]

I want to connect with my monitor which is VGA.

But my GPU don't have that port.

Please help me

buy an active adapter online, plugging into the motherboard will only use the cpu's integrated graphics(if it has one)

Its not possible it will just used the cpus integrated graphics, you will have to compulsorily buy an adapter like donut said. There is a really really tricky method which is very time consuming and will take a lot of hard work to do and you need a lot of experience(Linus and Anthony did it in one of the videos and they too had a hate time doing it). So it’s better if you just buy and adapter.

If your video card has DVI-I connector, then you can use a cheap 1-2$ passive DVI->VGA adapter.

DVI-I is the version with 4 pins on the side, around a thicker blade :

 

If there's no 4 pins and metal contacts inside those 4 holes, the connector's only digital and these cheap adapters won't work

You'll need ACTIVE converters to convert HDMI or DisplayPort to VGA, which are a bit more expensive. That, or replace the monitor.

No way to use it “through” the gpu without being a specific setup. Ltt did some videos on that already. 

 

Get an adapter for the card if possible or use the cpu integrated if it has it.

Actually yes! 
 

it's possible. I'm not sure if it's possible to do that for systems using an Nvidia GPU, but I've tested it on a system using an AMD GPU and it worked fine. There is a way to run all your GPU demanding processes (like games or any other application that uses graphical rendering) through the GPU but still get the output from the VGA output on the motherboard.
 

specs of the system I've tested it with:
MB: Biostar mhv3
CPU: Intel Core i5 4460
GPU: Radeon RX 480 8G
RAM: 2X8GB DDR3 1600
 

Take these actions step by step and you might be lucky:
 

1- Backup all your files and get ready to install a fresh windows10 (2004 build preferred)
 

2- Remove your GPU from motherboard PCI slot and connect your cable directly to the onboard VGA output of your motherboard
 

3- Go to BIOS settings by pressing 'Delete' repeatedly right after restarting, when you're in BIOS settings screen, find Intel HD Graphics settings, (if you can't find it google it) it's default state might be set to Auto or Disabled, change it's state to Always Enabled. then save and exit.
 

4- Turn system off and plug your GPU back into the motherboard PCI slot but your cable should still remain connected to the onboard VGA output. make sure that the power cable (6 pin or 8 pin) remains unplugged from the GPU, don't worry it won't get damaged. otherwise you might get a black screen which won't let you proceed to the next steps.

5- Start installing windows10
 

6- When finished installing, install latest Intel HD graphics driver among with other drivers for your chipset but not the GPU driver yet, then restart the system.

7- After restarting, log back into the windows and you see that Intel HD graphics is now your primary display. now turn off system completely, then plug the power cable into the GPU

8- Turn on system and install latest stable (not beta) version of AMD GPU driver knows as AMD Radeon Software (version 20.4.2 preferred) or the latest NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Driver (456.71 WHQL preferred).

9- If installation was successful, make a restart to finish installation of it. you should now be able to fully utilize your GPU in running games and other graphical processing apps while getting the output from your onboard VGA without the need to use an adapter to use the output on GPU.

NOTE: I hope it works for you, it did work for me. but again, about Nvidia GPUs I'm not sure if it works or not, you can test it yourself to find out.

You can't and u can, if what you mean is using the gpu processing power through the vga port on the mobo yes, yes you can, as long your cpu has an igpu. Here's what i did. First, install the gpu driver as usual. after finished, go to display settings > graphics settings > browse, then add your executable(s) (in my case it's apex legends), click ok. Once it's added, click on it then click options, select the gpu you want to use (in my case, it's the gtx 950) click ok, and you're done. *note that this will only work on individual apps (you have to add them manually) AFAIK. I hope this helps :)

It is Possible i myself had this issue and i didn't want to buy an adapter so follow this it might also work in your case

Bootup your pc and go to BIOs and see there will be an option under video says" Multiple Display" tick yes then restart pc then again go to bios and check it should marked as checked . Now plug second monitor in to the motherboard VGA (My case I'm using the HDMI) And it wont turn up till you log in to windows . After login it start giving display on Both monitors then you can right click on desktop after login and go to display settings and setup the resolution … I'm using one 1920x1080 and 1620x1050 and having Nvidia Quadro 600 Don't laugh -_- .and Mother Board is Dell OptiPlex 3010 .Hope it might help someone too.
