I recently bought a GTX 1070 but my crappy dell monitor and my samsung monitor both have VGA outputs,meaning I use atleast one adapter per monitor. I use a VGA-HDMI for the samsung and just arrived my DVI-DP adapter so I use a VGA-DVI then a DVI-DP adapter on the dell monitor

The dell monitor shows up on the Display Settings but i get no display

Is it because I use 2 adapters? How can I fix it?
Should I just buy a new monitor?

Well usually there are DP=>Vga adapters.
If you convert DP to digital DVI then a connector vga to dvi wont give you the wanted result.
Also its not a good idea to try 2 adapters following each other, they already screw the signal once, but twice is a bit much.
