Help vga port on motherboard

[amb1gamer_1]

Ok so I got a new gtx 1050 ti and it doesn't have vga port and my monitor only have vga port(yes it's sooooooo old) so I connected it to my motherboard but nothing shows and yes my pc boots successfully my mouse shows signal and my keyboard lights up

you need to use a dvi to vga adapter to give signal to the monitor

forget the mainboard, often is disabled once you install a gpu

if it doesn't show image connect a tv via hdmi while you set dvi output

Is there a setting I can use to enable the motherboard vga port?

A 1050ti graphics card does not have analog outputs. To take advantage of your graphics card you either need to purchase an ACTIVE VGA adapter or get a new monitor. The simple DVI to VGA adapter cables won't work because there is no analog output. You have to have an active converter like this -- https://www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/DVI-D-to-VGA-Active-Adapter-Converter-Cable-1920x1200~DVI2VGAE

You might be able to go into the BIOS and enable the integrated graphics ALSO. But you won't get the performance of your graphics card.

What do you mean about I won't get the performance of your graphics card.

The motherboard VGA port is NOT connected to your graphics card. It is connected to the graphics subsystem on your CPU. The ONLY way to get the benefit of your 1050ti is to use the ports on the 1050ti. To do that you have to have an adapter as I said in a previous post.

You mean it's like am not using the graphic card and the fps I get with the graphic card will not show?

Correct, if you use the motherboard VGA port you are NOT using the graphics card. Your FPS will be limited by the build-in GPU on your CPU.
To use the graphics card, you either have to have a different display (monitor or TV) or buy an ACTIVE adapter.

Is there diffrence between an active and non active adapter

Yes. A non-active adapter is just a cable and uses the analog output pins on the DVI port -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface See the 4 pins with the plus sign between them? Those have analog (VGA) signal on them. Notice the DVI connector on YOUR graphics card. Those holes are missing. You have to have an active (powered) digital to analog converter to create the analog signals that your monitor requires.

Thx m8

this is a 1050ti

the black connector is a dvi port that can use a dvi to vga adapter

so there is 1050ti with analog, sort of ports

 

[amb1gamer_1]

Thx for both of you

Your picture shows a DVI-D port. Zoom in. There are NO analog pins on that DVI port. You are not correct. I have not seen of a 10xx series card with analog outputs.

you know you are right? i need my glasses to look at a 700px width image now :/

knowing that the active adapter is required, is better to get a displayport to vga one than a hdmi to vga

the hdmi to vga is cheaper most times but is not a good thing, displayport is on the other hand, alot better
