Will my new 1660Ti work with my setup?

K i a r a

Question:
I am getting a new 1660Ti from Black Friday Sales, and I currently have a 1050ti and my set up is like this.

 

Monitor: Oldish Acer: Ports: DVI-D in & VGA in.

TV: 40inch for YouTube: Uses HDMI.

 

My Monitor is VGA to HDMI (Plugged into my GPU)

TV is HDMI to DVI (Plugged into my GPU)

 

I have been told, that my Monitor might be to old to communicate with the new 1660 by another forum member. 

 

What I was suggested to try is.

TV: Hdmi to Display Port. Like this

Monitor: DVI to HDMI (Already have this cord)

 

Thanks so much!

Yup, that GPU doesn't have analog output (VGA & DVI-A) so you need to use digital-to-digital adapters, AFAIK they're all passive so it's just a cable with two different plugs, there shouldn't be any problems.

Tag or quote me so i see your reply

So my suggested method would work? 
 

thanks!

I would expect a 1660ti to have at least 1 HDMI port so u can do hdmi to hdmi for the TV.

 

As for the older monitor u an use a DVI-D to HDMI cable.

I forgot to say. 
the 1660Ti has 

1 HDMI & 3 Display ports. 
So I can’t use 2 HDMIs

 

So I think my only bet is the 

HDMI to Display Port for the TV

&

DVI to HDMI because I already have that cord.
