I want to buy 7850 but I have seen people having problems when connected to monitor with VGA port only

Can someone confirm that it will work with the DVI->VGA converter or should I look for another card?
I cant afford to buy monitor with DVI now, I have budget for GPU only.

yea I dont see why you would have an issue....just make sure that the dvi ports on the card are dvi-i (well at least one of em) if its only dvi-d you wont be able to use a vga adapter

look at the link to tell if its dvi-i I highly doubt they are not dvi-i so you will be fine
