Hey!
So I got a new acer monitor which only has a VGA port.
I used my VGA to DVI adapter and I chained that to DVI to DP adapter but once I hook it all up to my GFX card (Sapphire HD7950 OC) I get a no signal warning.

Is there a way around this or is it just not possible to use multiple adapters on one signal?!
Thanks!

Why are you using DP at all? Why not just keep with the one vga to dvi adapter?

I have 1 dvi, 2 dp and 1 hdmi port on my GFX card.
DVI is already used up by my 144hz BenQ xl2411t. I could fix the issue with going dvi to dp on my benq and vga to dvi on my acer monitor, but then i coulnt transmit a 144hz signal on 1920x1080 resolution so that is a no go.
