Hello guys! I just bought a new GPU and it only has a DVI and HDMI ports. However my monitor only has VGA port because its an older one. Right now I can't afford buying a new monitor so what would be the best solution - buying a DVI to VGA converter cable or HDMI to VGA one? And how big is the quality loss? I searched around the forum and found mixed opinions. Some were saying it depends on the resolution - my monitor is 18 inch so the default resolution is 1366 x 768. I really hope that the quality would't be drastically different.
DVI to VGA or HDMI to VGA

At that resolution you can't tell the difference between HDMI, DVI, VGA, or displayport. The only + to HDMI and displayport is the added features. DVI or HDMI, the output is still VGA so there is no difference.

HDMI and DVI-D are digital, VGA is analog, and DVI-I is both. If you have DVI-I, you should get a DVI-I to VGA adapter. Digital>analog conversion is more expensive than analog>analog since you'll need an active converter if you're going from digital to analog or the other way around.
