Hello I want to buy MSI RX 470 graphic card but unfortunately my monitor LG FLATRON W2243S only have VGA input. I've searched forums and people said that it can work trough active adapter which i want to buy :

It says that this adapter do not support HDPC but RX 470 supports it. Will my monitor work in 1080p or in less resolution ?

It should work but if you buy movies online, blu-rays, or dvds you might might not be able to watch them on your computer, this was a big problem back around 2010 when people found out they didnt have HDCP support the hard way by being blocked from watching movies that they bought, I remember people being outraged by it

Now everyone has HDCP stuff and no one even knows what HDCP is anymore or that it even exists
You might run into problems people didn't have back then too, paid streaming content might not work for you, stuff like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO GO

If you buy movies or use paid streaming services on your PC you can always just get around it by hooking up your TV into the HDMI port with a long HDMI cable and unplugging the adapter, using your TV to watch those things is better anyway
If all you want to do is game and use free streaming services like youtube or twitch you should be good without having to do that

Thank you ! I've found a little bit more expensive HDCP adapter. Case closed
