Monitor support for zotac gtx 750ti

Solution
why didn't worked? how did you connected it?

those cards are similar, so what fails on one should fail on the other

if this is the monitor

it says that comes with a vga cable but i think it also has dvi port, a white one, buy a dvi cable and connect to the gpu via that port

the vg port, the blue one is not present on most gpus, including that gtx 1050 or the 750 you mention, so you need a converter from dvi to vga or a dvi cable if the monitor has a dvi input

otherwise, that old technology basic monitor will not work with any gpu you buy

Its says that we need an active adapter for connecting vga to dvi for gtx 1050 to work
And i dont have an active adapter and my monitor only has a vga port
So will it work on gtx 750ti

no, the gtx 750 does not have vga port either, nor the 1050 or ny other new gpu made since 2015 more or less

or you get the adapter or you change the monitor

or, buy the adapter i mentioned, a dvi to vga, i have a monitor connected that way in my house but the gpu refused to see it until i used hdmi first, those gtx take the hdmi as the primary output, so you might need to do that so it recognices later the dvi to vga adapter to show image on the acer you have

it will be the same with all gpus, or you get the adapter or you change the monitor, vga is ancient history now

I'm running a gtx660ti and a gtx970, both have dual monitors. The primary monitor is dvi-dvi connection. The secondary monitors are 1024x768 with only VGA connection. These use dvi from the gpu with a $2 adapter dongle to VGA. You do not need an active adapter for dvi, it carries an analog signal (VGA). Hdmi is pure digital, so you would need an active adapter to convert digital to analog.
At 1080p/60Hz or lower, there's absolutely no difference between dvi or hdmi or display port. It's only when going higher or faster that hdmi/display port sees any difference.
Use your 1050, it's far better than a 750ti, just use the dvi-vga dongle (probably got one in the gpu box). The adapter you want has :+: (dvi-i) on one side of the pins, a dvi-d ( - ) won't work.

it is the way i made work my gtx750ti

but as i said, it refused to show image for the first time until i used a hdmi output too, so plug in just in case a tv while you use the vga and set the dvi as the main output, then stop using the hdmi if you like
