[SOLVED] Monitor wont display because of DVI-D to VGA adapter

[GEPERIENCE]

I have this GPU: ASUS GTX 1080
And this converter: Goobay MMK ADAP DVI F > 15 pin HD M (VGA) DVI-I 15 VGA HD M
And this monitor: Samsung S22D300NY
The question is, I am using a DVI-D single link to DVI-D single link. The converter is connecting into the monitor and the cable goes from my GPU to the converter which goes into the monitor. It does display on windows and the monitor does register as working since it does not give the signal that says that nothing is connected. The screen is black.
What would the solution be? Can I buy a HDMI to VGA converter instead? (The port is [RGB-IN])

(So the order is DVI-D in GPU, to converter, to monitor)

I think you need an active DVI-D to VGA converter, not the passive adapter you are using.

I can't say for sure but it is an active converter cable so it should work.

Keep the notes listed for this converter in mind.

Notes: NO HDCP SUPPORT - Viewing content protected video is not supported

So if I get a DP to VGA will it enable it or is it really manufacturer specific?

As far as i know VGA does not support HDCP, but HDMI and DisplayPort both support HDCP.
