Mobo vs Gpu why should I choose one or the other to plug my monitor into

[ZombieBunny]

I know I should plug my monitor into my gpu but why should I and how much if any will it affect my display if I use a VGA to DVI adapter?

none there will be no difference. DVI is for monitor at high Hz or use 1080p or higher. I don't think VGA can sustain 1080p and usually works at 1280x1024.

Your GPU is made for 1080p+ monitors but it seems your using a monitor that uses VGA, your simply translating it to allow your GPU to work with this monitor. Shouldn't affect your display.

vga to dvi will still not allow for 1080p to my knowledge. and you plug into gpu to use it as your primary display adapter for games
