Will my VGA Monitor and DVI-D Graphics Card work together?

[CivilLetsPlays]

Hello, I just finished having my PC built and I found a 24" monitor that I found in my sister's closet. When I connected the monitor, which is VGA, to my graphics card, which has 2 DVI-D ports and an HDMI the monitor never came on even though I had a VGA to DVI adapter. I kept being met by the message on my monitor "No VGA cable." Will my monitor and video card work together or will I need to buy a new monitor?

A DVI-D port does not pass the required analog signal required to communicate with a VGA port. You need a converter vice a simple adapter, or you need a DVI-I port.

What is the manufacturer/model name of the graphics card?

It's a XFX Radeon R9 390 8GB Double Dissipation Video Card:

I have a VGA to DVI-D adapter but even when I plugged it into the VGA cable and then connected it to the DVI-D port on the video card it didn't work.

For converting DVI-D signal to D-SUB you need active adapter.
If it looks like this, it will not work:
