Hey,
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I installed a new gtx 1080 which has 4 display ports, one HDMI, and one dvi d.
The instructions said not to use a dvi-rgb adapter.
I use an old 720 Vizio as my monitor (tough layout and funds are tight). I also use an Oculus in the HDMI port, and a dvi-hdmi adapter along with an hdmi-rgb cable, where the rgb end plugs into the monitor. If I use a plain HDMI cable with the Vizio, it overscans and is a mess. It works great. But I'm afraid I'm putting the components at risk given the instructions? I've read primers on Dvi-d vs dvi-i, and I honestly don't know how or why my adapter/cable combination is even working? Or if it could damage anything?
I already know that replacing the monitor is a priority, especially given investment in video card.
