you wont get low performance out of the graphics card you will lose quality of video. DVI, hdmi, and Display port are all digital signals, VGA is analog so going from a digital to analog you will lose some quality in video. You will not on the other hand lose FPS because of this.

your graphics will be limited by the VGA cable because its outdated and supports lower speeds; meaning lower resolution
your signal type will also be analogue because thats what vga runs off

i think you would lose some fps if you tried going at too high a resolution because of the max GB/s speed.
my resolution is 1366x768 and video quality loss means what While playing movie or the game will not look good? wallpapers,texts? And if i use a Active adapter? gpu also has hdmi so if i convert vga to hdmi rather than vga to dvi? PLEASE HELP what to do now

i don't think a active adaptor will help. there only meant to increase the amount of supported monitors and your resolution won't look great

I wouldn't use an adapter.
If you intend to/have to use DVI output then you should really buy a monitor which has DVI input so you've got full, unhindered compatibility between the two with no adapters compromising the abilities of your GPU..
