DisplayPort 1.4 to VGA adapter

[TennoSkoom]

Is it possible?
The reason I'm asking this is that I'm thinking about buying the gtx 1050 gpu which has DVI-D, HDMI and Displayport 1.4 and the problem is that my monitor only has a vga port and since both DVI-D and HDMI are digital only, an adapter won't work but I don't know which type of signal display port 1.4 uses.
Is displayport 1.4 it Digital only or is it both digital and analog like DVI-I and can i use an adapter to plug into my vga monitor like from DVI-I to VGA adapter?
Here's the link the gpu btw

To go from DVI-D, HDMI or DP you'll need an "active" adapter - all of the 3 are Digital only signals, and must be converted (via an active adapter) to run to an analog display (VGA)

The cheapest I can find from a quick search is HDMI to VGA.

It does seem a little cheap to me.

For comparison, Startech are a know, reliable brand. Their HDMI to VGA converter will cost you around $35 USD

Thank you Barty for clarifying that for me. Now I just need to know one thing, do all these active adapters support 1600x900 resolution because my monitor's res is 1600x900 16:9 aspect ratio so will i have any problems displaying the correct resolution with an active adapter?

An idea may be to just replace the monitor. You will spend half the cost of a good used monitor on an adapter and have a cludged together setup vs a newer monitor and a direct connection.

Check on your local craigslist, many 22" and even 24" 1080 monitor out there for about $40-50.

And many good ones in the $100 range.
