Hi.
I got a new Graphic Card (GTX 1060 6GB). I have 2 monitors, my main monitor is connected via HDMI but my second monitor is only VGA and the GTX does not have VGA so i got a Display Port - VGA adapter.
The PC recognize both monitors and everything works fine until i turns off the PC. When turning on, the monitor connected with the VGA adapter does not seem to be recognize (It shows a message of input resolution is not supported). The Device Manager in PC shows 2 monitor (as Generic PnP Monitor) but i cannot make it work. When i disconnect the Monitor and plug it again, then PC recognize it correctly, the Device Manager now shows the Monitor Name (AOC+Model) and i can fully use the settings to extend or duplicate the monitors.

Any advice on what to do so i dont have to do this everytime i use the PC?
Thanks

Defintely not an issue. It will work just fine. It's basically like extending your screen with a laptop. One if built in, and the other is with the graphic card. It will work. don't expect the quality in games to be great. I wouldn't expect your dual screen with games anyway...

I cant remember the brand.

I didnt use the VGA for the integrated graphic in motherboard because i have heard that it could not be good for the PC to have both integrated and external Graphic cards working at same time.
Can you confirm this is not an issue?

Thank you so much. I think i will try that and not use the adapter. And yes, my second monitor is just for movie not for games.
