Question Monitor only has VGA input but the PC doesn't have a VGA output port ?

[ateya22]

I just got myself a PC build then I discovered that my monitor only has a vga port while my PC doesn't support vga.
I did a bit of research online I saw that I can use display adapters like DP to VGA and DVI to VGA etc...
so my question is will this solution add latency issues and if so what else can I do?

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

In all honesty you're wasting your platform's potential with a 720p monitor. I'd advise to go for a 1080p monitor and do away with any adapters, meaning native Display Port/HDMI support.

definitely will do that but the thing is I can't rn get a new monitor

Considering you have one HDMI port on your discrete GPU, you can pick up an HMDI output to VGA input cable.

Will it cause major or noticable latency issues?

Do you see an alternative beyond what I've suggested?

no unfortunately

Yes, any time you insert an adapter into the chain you introduce latency. NO, you will not be able to see it.
