Question Display adapters

[killhim70]

Hey guys
I am using Hp l2245w moitor with vga/dvi ports .. unfortunately i can't replace it at the moment.
Planning to get a rtx 2060
So what kind of adapter should i use ??
And could i get away with a passive one ??

What are your system specs?

And no, you can't get by with a passive one, you need an active adapter. You can go for HDMI to VGA active adapter, they're fairly common.

I am still building it.
What are the cons of using hdmi to vga if there is any ??

There isn't any except for the limitations of the vga port. I did the same thing with my first pc, using s bad monitor and eventually upgrading

Agree with @mc_nogget, only cons are that VGA is worse display quality and more prone to interference, no cons of the adapter as such.

Is it better to use hdmi to dvi adapter like this one https://egypt.souq.com/eg-ar/امازون-بيسكس-كابل-اتش-دي-ام-اي-الى-واجهة-رقمية-مرئية-25-قدم-22892362/i/ or it doesn't matter ??

Well, DVI will indeed give you better quality if it is the digital one, if your monitor has the DVI port that the adapter supports then sure, go with that.

Not sure why this is even a discussion. If the display has a DVI input, use that. If the graphics card does not have a DVI output, then just use an HDMI to DVI cable.
