As i have a very old PC Monitor suppoting only VGA , and have a old gpu which also supports only VGA
My monitor supports a max resolution of 1366x768 with max 75Hz refresh rate suppots

I am buying a new GPU which will support HDMI , DVI
So my question is if i use a DVI to VGA converter using on my new graphic card and then to my old monitor VGA
Will i get better quality with DVI then the VGA
or the same quality of VGA as using the converter
i am basically saying that , will my screen qyality be improved using converter
will my old VGA only monitor have a quality of DVI
I hope you getting my point
sorry for bad english , any answers will be appriciated. :)

No.
Let me explain.
It starts out better in the dvi format that the graphics card is sending out but the vga adapter downscales it so the monitor can handle it a true dvi signal would just tear the screen your monitor isn't designed for it.
So you will be getting dvi downscaled aka same quality as straight up vga.
