? I really don't understand. Audio isn't carried by either standard so why are you worried about it?

According to the description this should work. I usually use price to make sure it's active vs passive but I don't know the prices in India. But if the description is correct this should do the job. And it won't mess with audio at all. (This is not my nor Tom's hardware endorsement of this product or company. This is a quick link I picked with no research to show you what you need.)

To my knowledge there are no Nvidia 10 series cards with an analog output. There might be one I haven't heard about where someone slapped one on like the old Sapphire Flexx cards with the extra output, but I haven't heard of one. This means 99.9-100% of all 10 series cards require the use of an ACTIVE DVI or (m)DP to VGA adapter if you are still using a monitor that supports VGA only.
