VGA Monitor with DVI GPU

SergeantPepper · Jul 22, 2016

So I have this monitor, LG W2243S-PF, and I'm planning on buying RX 480. The monitor is still pretty good, 22 inches, full HD and I don't want to change it. Now if I use a VGA to DVI adapter will there be a decrease in perfomance?

Should be fine, no performance loss. Just make sure to get an active dvi-d to vga converter, a cheap passive adapter will not work.

Yup I agree, like said above though not any adapter will work you need something that will convert digital to analog. I linked one below they are a bit more expensive then a passive adapter.

I don't see any RX480 with a DVI output, just HDMI and displayport. In which case you would need something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400393&cm_re=HDMI_to_VGA_adapter-_-12-400-393-_-Product

HDMI to VGA.

Some of the aftermarket cards will have a DVI-D port.

Then I would recommend holding off on buying an adapter until third party cards with DVI support actually come out. I would recon that if they have a DVI it will probably be DVI-I in which case you wouldn't need to worry about an active adapter, you could go with passive.

It's highly unlikely you'll see a DVI-I. AMD has been phasing them out and Nvidia has started to aswell.

Didn't even notice that, I just took a look at my new card and sure enough it's DVI-D.
