HDMI to VGA

[piercebuckley123]

I am getting a gtx 1050 ti and there is no VGA ports on it and my monitor only has a VGA so I bought a HDMI to VGA adapter(the adapter arrived today and still waiting on the GPU). My monitor used 1440x900 but since I connected with the HDMI to VGA I could not select 1440x900. I tried using other resolutions but they do not fit the screen properly, either it was too zoomed in or the was black bars at sides.

Did you buy an ACTIVE adapter.

Can you link the one you have?
