I'm about to buy a new GPU which only has a HDMI and DVI port on it, but my monitor is VGA only. Would this cable work if directly plugged into my GPU and monitor?

That card has DVI-I output. There is no need for active adapter.
Just use DVI-I -> VGA adapter.

No. It's fake.
Look for active hdmi->vga adapters.

Do you have a link to the graphics card you are buying? Most models come with a DVI to VGA adapter.

I'm looking to buy a used HD 7770: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201569618474?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Such an old card because my current one died on me, so I need a half-decent but cheap backup.

Thanks, no idea why I didn't think of that earlier. Bit too tired to be on the internet to be honest, lol.
