Hello ,
So , my r9 270x died from 4 years of usage (shows artifacts) , and I bought a new graphics card , GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB GDDR5 128-bit without 6x pin , and I have a monitor which is acer v206hql 1600x900 with vga https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/professional-model/UM.IV6AA.A02 , the old r9 270x was connected through dvi-i to vga and it worked fine , this gtx 1050 ti doesn't have dvi-i , only dvi-d , hdmi and displayport. So I bought an adapter hdmi to vga without audio jack , it cost me like $5 . The adapter works , the display works , but I noticed few problems : on the native resolution or even on lower resolutions ( less visible ) , there's a flickering on the text on top right and top left of the screen , like the names on desktop , logos on sites , text on sites , it flickers if you look closely . Another problem is that the games don't run smooth despite the fps , I mean now I have higher fps than before because of this video card , but it's not smooth , it's laggy , stuttering , freezes appear during the game , even games like league of legends or even csgo , I basicaly can't play csgo , it's so laggy even on lowest settings and even lower resolutions , league of legends 200 fps , 100 - 150 fps mid-late game when there are more things going on , fortnite 100-200 fps , it just doesn't matter , it runs choppy and weird, I know the monitor is 60hz and it can only show 60 , if more it's gonna do that , but when I had the old graphics card it was better . Only if I enable the setting vsync they run smooth with no tearing , this helped me in doom 4 , but if it's off it runs so bad and I can't use vsync in online games like csgo or League of Legends , even on low or ultra , same thing , or if I cap the fps it's same or even worse because it drops to 50 in some games . I have this monitor since 2014 , maybe I need a new one because this one is dying ? Or is it because of this adapter hdmi to vga .I'm thinking of buying another cable for the monitor and gpu , vga into monitor and dvi-d in the gpu , maybe it will work ? Something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/dvi-d-vga-cable-adapter-DVI-D-24-1-to-VGA-converter-dvi-d-to-vga/32831539073.html , plug the vga in monitor and the dvi-d in the gpu , would it work or I wouldn't have image on the display ? And if it works would the problems from above go away?
And one more thing , the image is a little bit weirder than before , darker I may say , from what I read from internet this might be because of the hdmi.
My specs are :
i5 4460 3.2ghz
8gb ram 1600mhz ( 2x4 )
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB GDDR5 128-bit without 6x pin
acer v206hql 1600x900 https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/professional-model/UM.IV6AA.A02
Thanks for reading , and hope you can help me somehow.
