I'm going to buy this GTX 970: http://www.microcenter.com/product/439377/GeForce_GTX_970_Superclocked_ACX_20_Video_Card
My monitor doesn't have an HDMI, or any DVI ports, and runs at a resolution of 1280x1024@75Hz
The GPU I want has a DVI-I port, as you know, DVI-I ports carry both a digital and an analog signal.
A VGA monitor only broadcasts an analog signal.
Would this mean, a cheap $13 DVI-I to VGA adapter like this would be able to allow me to play my games fine without needing to upgrade my monitor?: http://www.microcenter.com/product/357494/DVI-I_Male_to_VGA_Female_Adapter
http://www.microcenter.com/product/357495/VGA_Male_to_DVI-I_Female_Adapter
Not sure which of the two I need.
If I were to buy a monitor, I'd have to downgrade to a cruddy 960, and that would be an absolute no-no. I'm probably getting a monitor in a few months anyways that supports a DVI-I and DVI-D input, so It's better for me to get the better card now, and then the monitor, instead of getting the worse card now along with a monitor.
Thanks.
