hi, i have a r9 390x in my system, with a monitor attached to it.
problem is that i want a second monitor. i already have a monitor but with only vga, and my gpu does not support analoge.

now is my question if i can buy a second cheap gpu only for that monitor (so game on the r9 390x and use the second gpu only for the second monitor).


hope you guys understand what i mean with this. english is not my mother language :D.
 
Solution
Another gpu may lower the bandwidth for the 390x which you'd want to avoid and would also probably cost more than an active adapter.

Ok sure, then just buy a new adapter? Like k114 said, it probably will do more harm than good if you bought a second gpu.
