Using Nvidia Gtx 1050ti With an Hdmi to Vga Adapter...??

[rahul srivastava]

Hi.... Im Planning to buy an 1050ti 4gb but the thing is my moniter is vga.

So i was wondering that is it safe to use an hdmi/dvi d to vga adapter for 7-8 mnths till i upgrade my moniter.

I will be doing heavy cooding n casual gaming at 720p high settings.


I will be glad if u guys help me figure this out

Yes just be sure it's an active converter and not just a simple adapter. I bought one that looks just like this one, still works fine when I need it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OFQUDR0/ref=asc_df_B00OFQUDR05130189/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395009&creativeASIN=B00OFQUDR0&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198063088238&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10951478384732272108&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9025744&hvtargid=pla-318768076279

Yes, you need an Active HDMI/DP/DVI-D-VGA adapter, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Active-Adapter-Benfei-Converter-Gold-Plated/dp/B01KLKQN9U
Though, I advice you to get anything other than HDMI, as it causes some issues.

VGA is Analog, and DVI-D is Digital only. Although: DVI-I carries both an analog and digital signal, so if you want a non-active (passive) adapter you HAVE to use the DVI-I connector. If you will comment your manufacturer and model, I can tell you (looking at the pictures) if it has a DVI-I connector or DVI-D connector.
The connectors are 90% of the time like the reference (founders edition) card, which has a DVI-D (which is bad for analog).
Alternatively, you can look at pictures or websites online for the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D.

Hope this helps.
