[SOLVED] Vga to Hdmi adapter or cable?

[Ryan🇵🇭]

As the title says it which one should be better? Considering it would be my daily use but also considering it dying(like its rare already) i have an vga cable also a monitor with dvi-d(single link) and a vga while my videocard has vga, hdmi and display port.

HDMI to DVI would be my recommendation. Nothing with VGA, since it is an analog signal.
The only issue you could have with HDMI to DVI is if you have to have an HDCP (copy protected) display path, because DVI doesn't meet that requirement. Some high def media may only play in 480p.
If you want HDCP, you need a new monitor.

If you have a DVI cable then get an adapter. If you don't have a DVI cable, then I would get a cable with DVI on one end and HDMI on the other.

Is there an adapter for dvi single link to dual link?
I said something wrong my monitor has dvi-i single link and an hdmi and my graphics card has dvi-i dual link an hdmi and an display port

A DVI single link cable will be fine. A dual link output port will work as single link.

Oh what? Mine couldn’t fit for some reason.
