I also have the same problem as this guy, I mean, If I bought an Active HDMI/DVI to VGA converter, it wouldnt work on my monitor, since my monitor's port is VGA FEMALE and the Active Adapter's VGA port is also FEMALE, I have an adapter here and its a male-to-male VGA,
Here is my plan:
RX 460 >> Active HDMI to VGA Adapter >> Male-to-Male VGA Adapter >> Monitor
Would it work?
