DVI to VGA adapter old monitor

[Kirilenko]

Will there be any problems with using DVI-I to VGA adapter with old LCD monitor and modern GPU?

There shouldnt be. Most of the new graphics cards come with that adapter. My monitor worked fine with my Gigabyte Geforce GTX 960 G1 perfectly.

I use one and don't have any issues or lag. The only issue I have is the adapter sticks out a lot which keeps me from putting my PC all the way against the wall haha

Ok so any cheap adapter will do?I need DVI-I male to VGA female right?

Depends on the GPU. Some cards(r9 290 for example) dont have dvi-i ports only dvi-d. A simple dvi to vga adapter will not work in a dvi-d port, they require an active dvi-d to vga converter.

R9 270 I'm planning buying has one DVI-I and adapter says
1x male DVI-I (Dual Link) /24+5/
VGA (D-Sub) 1x female VGA (D-Sub 15-pin)
is this ok?

I think it should be fine
