So my good old gtx 760 said no to life, which forces me to go for a new gpu. The problem here is my monitor, which is an S22A350H, a 21.5 inch monitor which only has vga and hdmi input. The way i used this gpu with my monitor is a simple vga to dvi-i converter. The new gpu which id like to buy is a asus dual gtx 1060 3gb, this had no dvi-i connector, only dvi-d. My question uere is, should i use hdmi to hdmi or vga to hdmi-d converter? Would i lose anything in quality/performance? 1080p @ 60hz is enough for me. Which one would be better? Or maybe theres an better option, enlighten me please :)

Looked into hdmi and trying to figure out what cable to get. Asus 1060 supports 2.0 hdmi but the monitor is around 5 years old tried to search what hdmi versions it supports, should there be a reason to worry about which hdmi cable to buy? 1.4, 1.5, 2.0? Will all the versions work?

 


Your monitor should have come with a hdmi cable but if you dont have one they all should work its only a 1080p monitor.
