VGA Connection

[samcat116]

So I just got a GTX 770, and the monitor im using currently only has VGA (horrible, I know, and a new monitor is on the way). My question is, can I connect this monitor to the VGA port on my motherboard and still take advantage of the 770, or will it run on the on-board graphics?

It will use/display the on-board graphics.

Easy solution: Burn the damn monitor!

 

Other solution: Get a DVI-I to VGA adapter.

Other Other Solution: Just plug into the motherboard and use integrated graphics.

DVI to vga adapter will likely work on one of the ports. Really cheap but if you need it now without waiting on shipping I think it's 10$ at best buy.

I don't think that the onboard graphics will be usable once you install a graphics card, so the output on your motherboard won't work.

If your graphics card doesn't have a VGA output then you can use a DVI-VGA adapter on a DVI-I port, like this:

did your 770 not come with dvi to vga adapter?

I feel your pain dude, currently building and will have to use a old aoc 8ms 1366x768 aoc vga monitor until December. But as others have sai, dvi to vga adapter will do the trick, i will be using the same.
