No, it won't.

Historically, when DVI to VGA connectors were provided with GPUs - the GPU was equipped with DVI-I (both analog and digital signals), so there was no conversion of the signal required.

With 10 series GPUs, there is not analog signal as standard - and you'll need an "Active" DVI-D to VGA converter cable. That's going to set you back somewhere between $20-$40.

Not if they're just cheap passive adapters, no.

Taking DVI-D (digital) to DVI-I (digital) and passing that through to a VGA out remains digital, and won't work on a VGA (analog) monitor.

Unless one of those adapters is "Active", there would be no conversion of the signal from Digital to Analog.
