Hey guys,
i have this vga monitor(1366x768@60hz) and a dvi graphics card. If I use the dvi-to-vga adapter will it affect gaming performance?? I'll still be able play at 1366x768@60hz right?

Thanks

Performace will be the same, you will (maybe) loose some image quality depending on the dac of the card.
And yes, you could use any resolution without problems, just depend on graphics card dac and Lcd pannel to get a better or worse image quality.

Digital analogic converter, DVI is a digital signal while VGA is an agalogic signal, the dvi-to-vga adapter is only a "adapter" that use the DVI pinout of the card to give a vga analogic signal from the card instead having two diferent connectors just allow to use the same.

As you would convert from digital to analogic on the card, that conversion could affect image quality as in some cases affect also the quality of the image the components between the conversion and the monitor (card components like capacitors of output filters) or other ouside factors like vga cable quality and lengh, parasit, interferences on the vga signal due closer power wires, etc...

On DVI is easier as you transmit digital information to the pannel, only original image quality settings (like Nivida using lower than optimal colour pallete of 16-235 instead 0-255 on HDMI output signal) and proper monitor factors have effect on the image.
