Going to be using a DVI to VGA Converter Question!

Kyrotix · Aug 5, 2014

Okay so I am going to be using a DVI To Vga Converter because I only have a VGA Monitor and I'm going to be adding the converter on the Graphics card to my question is will it work? And will it affect with the gaming performance or any thing of such? Or will it has some problems due to it being VGA for the Graphics card. ( I'm only going to use the converter at my moms house wether than that I'm using HDMI.)

Graphics card I'm putting the converter on to: http://www.amazon.com/XFX-RADEON-1075MHz-Graphics-R7260XCNF4/dp/B00FUR6FJ8%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIW75JH3RVMIR6UAA%26tag%3Dhwcompare-20%26linkCode%3Dsp1%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00FUR6FJ8

It will work fine with no impact on performance.

Yes it should be fine. I think there is a DVI to VGA converter with the gpu accessories.

Here is some info on what the various dvi options are, and how to identify them.

Of concern might be the analog nature of your monitor.
The adapter you linked is missing the 4 outputs that carry the analog signals and may not work for you.
I suggest you buy a hdmi to vga cable. I find hdmi to be easier to plug/unplug.
Here is one from walmart:

As to performance, there should be no impact.
