Question Question About Graphics Card Hookup To A KVM Switch With Adapter

[Ariel Schnee]

Video Card: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3060-ti.c3681 .

Switch: https://www.startech.com/en-us/server-management/sv211kusb .

Adapter: https://www.startech.com/en-us/display-video-adapters/hd2vgae2 .

Monitor: HP LE1901w .

Use: Playing Steam games at 1024X768 .

What I want to know is, will this adapter work to hook this graphics card up to that kvm switch? Will it actually show anything on the monitor? Or will I have wasted my money, and it show only a blank screen then?

Let me know.

I assume you have another pc that is using a old style VGA connection ?
Having a KVM in the path makes things tricky even when you are not trying to convert things.

It should work your pc thinks the kvm is a old vga monitor and the KVM should think your video card has a old style vga connector. I would hook directly to the monitor first to be sure all this stuff works.

It has been a very long time since I looked at anything that used VGA ports.

the adapter is ok in anyways, just wanna say don't waste the 3060, pick a DisplayPort or at lease a HDMI screen to enjoy a 4K 120Hz resolution will be way much better
