GT 1030 Help

[zSPC]

Hey Linus Tech Tips,

Just installed my GT 1030 (did not have a graphics card installed before), however my monitor doesn't have HDMI, only VGA, so I ordered an adapter that will come on Monday.
1.) Will (https://goo.gl/efDRkM) have noticiable input lag?
2.) I'm impatient and wanted to use my PC, so I plugged in my PC and all cords, but just plugged in my monitor into the integrated/internal/whatever the original port was called that I had before instead of the graphics card (because I can't without the adapter), but the monitor doesn't register the PC as on, and shaking the mouse or pressing a key does nothing. Is this normal when a graphics card is installed where you cannot use integrated graphics?

maybe, and yes it is normal.

You cannot use the iGPU with a GPU install ya, your BIOS might let you select the iGPU for output anyways for say GPU passthrough

 

The passive HDMI->VGA adapter should work fine, but you may not get your monitor's native resolution, it only lets my CRT go to 1280x1024 instead of 1600x1200

If your processor have integrated graphics, just unplug your graphic card (with the PC off) and be happy 'till the adapter comes.
