Hdmi to Vga Issue?

[Berjis]

Ok so My current monitor -
Fujitsu L20T-1 20inch 60Hz 1600x900
I have the gtx 1050ti installed and i am using a hdmi to vga convertor because my monitor only has a vga slot ..
The problem is that the display is fine .. but when i start a game and play it .. in between sometimes the screen goes black and it shows no signal and turns off ..sometimes when i again plug in the hdmi it works back ..but the issue happens .. happens only in terms of games .. not regular windows ..
The catch is that when i connect my 55 inch tv via hdmi it works perfectly no issues .. so the issue isnt in my gfx

Can it be a faulty convertor or my monitor?
my monitor worked flawlessly till the past week i had r7 250x and never faced any issue ..

First the obvious question: did you *completely* wipe out your AMD Catalyst drivers for that R7 250x using a drive sweeper like CCleaner? You may be getting a driver conflict which only shows up in games if not.

Okay so now that's out of the way, I'd try a complete cable change, like buying one that's DVI or HDMI out to VGA in. Adapters sometimes can give problems. Here are two examples:

Are you sure that game resolution and monitor resolution (from windows) are the same? Try playing like that and give us update. Before you change cables as mentioned above.

^^ That's a good thought I didn't even think about. I assume everyone is running same/same on desktop and in game.

Well not all of us do. Seen many times, especially here in my country, where IT or Gaming knowledge is very low.

Yes the desktop resolution is 1600 900 and the same os of the game . . I tried lowing both resolutions and running but the same issue ...

Make sure your drivers are up-to-date, and send us your full pc specs. If you have any other video playback device with a hdmi port, try to use that instead and see if the issue still happens

Try a cable like I posted in my links. This is not the first time I've seen this problem with an adapter.

Why do you keep mentioning cable if it works on his TV? It seems like a very simple culprit here, the monitor? I must be missing something

 

[pete_101]

The hdmi to vga adaptor, is this an active converter? It would have to be right, as hdmi has no analogue component to it, which is needed for vga. The non active vga to hdmi cables are for when your graphics card can output digital though the vga port for a digital monitor. Anyway, could it be your convertor can't handle gaming graphics?

 

[madmatt30]

The cables 10tacle has linked are of no use whatsoever for a 1050ti which (as Pete_101 says) has no native analog signal.

You plainly have an active adapter at the minute or you wouldn't be getting a display at all on your monitor.

Point us to a link of the actual adapter you're using.
