I have an RTX 4070 in my PC. A big problem I had when going from an older graphics card was that I can't use my DVI-based monitor without an adapter (which is pretty expensive if you want a good Dual-Link adapter). Could I use a GT 1030 alongside my RTX 4070 to be used as a display adapter for my monitor? Already checked to see if they get the same drivers, the GT 1030 hasn't been subject to the "security updates only" treatment...yet.

It will be, and a lot sooner than a 4070.

 

Do you already have a 1030 to use for this? How much is a DP to dual link DVI adapter compared to buying one in your area?

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

In theory, yes, but motherboards can be finicky about it and some GPUs don't like operating in little slots with few lanes.

 

I have a monitor with a DVI input and I run it to HDMI on the graphics card with a DVI-HDMI cable, this does retain HDCP, but I don't know if it is dual-link.

 

Does your CPU have integrated graphics? If the motherboard has a DVI port, you could use that?

How much is buying a more modern monitor?  

 

I wouldn't even try to use a 1030 along with another card, they won't play very nice with each other even if drivers match up.  

 

If you can get it to work, more power to you.  I remain doubtful it will be worth the effort when a new monitor is under $70.
