GTX 1060 not working on DVI to VGA converter ?

[twistedbeast]

Hi guys just wanna ask if you have any fix or solution for this problem.

I have a GTX 1060 MSI gaming x 6GB ed. and a AOC E1620SW, now since my monitor is on VGA and the GPU doesn't have any VGA port i bought a DVI to VGA converter. The problem is my monitor is always displaying no cable detected.

I've tried clearing my CMOS, re-installing my rams GPU, even try to use the on board GPU with the same config of cable still the same problem

my full specs is


4790k
MSI z87i Gaming AC
MSI GTX 1060 6GB ed.
16GB G.skill rams
750W Cooler master power supply

most likely the converter is faulty . replace it with a working unit...

See if your DVI output is DVI-D. If it is- you need DVI-D to VGA adapter.

Hi uh its a DVI-D its actually 24+1 adopter.

For DVI-D to VGA, the adapter needs to be the "Active" type which converts digital output to analog input.

Non-active adapters don't convert the signal, they simply have different plugs at each end, the signal from the DVI-D port to the D-Sub port on the monitor is still digital and hence won't work.

Maybe it is like this? https://www.amazon.com/Male-DVI-D-Female-VGA-Adapter/dp/B007EA48MA "Adapter is designed for digital-to-analog converter machine only. And it can not change digital data to analog data directly."

have you tried changing the cable ?

GTX-10 series card no longer have analog signal on the DVI port, you'll need one of this or the cheaper off brand version.
