Hello,
I've just bought an Asus GTX 1060 Dual at 3GB and I know I'll have to resort to an adapter in order to hook up my old VGA monitor.
I looked around quite a bit and the best I was able to find was a pretty decent DVI-D to VGA adapter. Bottom line: is this adapter that requires 250mA a-okay (it takes it directly from the DVI-D port) or should I try to find one that has a separate power source?
Note: not sure if this is relevant, but my LCD monitor's resolution is 1920x1080, so I imagine that the graphics card itself won't really be under -that- much strain.
Also, does anyone know if the signal coming from the GTX 1060 is HDCP protected? If it is, I might have to search for a different adapter...
Link to the adapter: Lindy 38189 Adapter
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
EDIT: Thanks for the prompt reply, greens!
