What type of adapter is the best?

[PaNNix]

Hello ! First of all sorry if it's offtopic it's my first time posting (please be kind with me ). Ok so I have a 1440x900p monitor with a VGA input.My GPU (RX 480) doesn't have VGA output only DVI , HDMI and DisplayPort. Can somebody tell me what's the best adapter for me and why? The DVI-VGA one or the HDMI-VGA one?

Makes no odds , its an identical digital signal apart from HDMI carrying audio aswell (which will not pass through an adapter)

You need to be sure its an active adapter you buy is all important though.

This type of adapter is good for my monitor?

One thing to watch out for is the type of DVI it is. There is DVI-I and DVI-D. There is a slight physical difference between the two, making one incompatible with the other, i.e. won't fit.

This link spells it out a bit better. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/221/~/what-is-the-difference-between-dvi-i-and-dvi-d%3F

The adapter you listed is no good at all.
It has to be an active adapter or it won't work.

You're absolutely right ! For some reason there isn't any option to pick a solution on this thread.
Weird !! Wouldn't worry about it.
