Reddit mentions of Rankie DisplayPort (DP) to VGA Adapter, Gold Plated Converter, Black

I use this one and it works flawlessly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z08TZNU/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have no issues sending a 120hz 240p signal through it to my Trinitron if that's what you're looking to buy it for.

So this is basically what I would be looking for? Super!

Still saving money over having to buy a adapter.

Displayport to VGA is a thing. Often use them to connect a modern PC to older monitors/projectors, e.g. this

Plug the second monitor into the GTX 1070 using an adapter, if necessary.

The GTX 1070 should have multiple outputs. What it has depends on the manufacturer make/model.

If it has VGA out: Use a VGA cable.

If it has DVI-D out:

If it has HDMI out:

If it only has DP out:

These 3 are all unidirectional adapters (meaning they work from DP out to VGA in / HDMI to VGA / DVI-D to VGA, not the other way around) . They should support up to1920x1080@60Hz, and all will require a VGA cable.

You're trying to convert a digital signal (display port) to an analogue signal (VGA) so you'll need an active adapter to convert the signal ( link )

Ideally you should be using display port or HDMI with no adapters, you'll also limit your max resolution going from display port to VGA.

So somethink like this
will be enough?

Oooops! My bad, I didnt realise the "First PC" was the bottom one in the diagram, I assumed that was the second.

Okay so


First PC -> First PC Main Monitor by HDMI

First PC -> First PC Secondary Monitor by using the VGA to DVI-I adapter (Stick a VGA cable coming out of the adapter then into the monitor)


Second PC -> Second PC Main Monitor by DVI-D or HDMI, whichever you choose.

Second PC -> Second PC Secondary Monitor by using one of these

Its going to cost you around £6, but then you can use plug the adapter into a display port, then stick a VGA cable out of the adapter and into the second monitor...

• PC 1, main, how connected?
  
• PC 1, secondary, VGA cable to DVI-I to VGA adapter
  
• PC 2, main, DVI
  
• PC2, secondary, you can use DisplayPort to VGA adapter + VGA cable

Yes that is a VGA connector. You will need a converter like this:

You should be able to use a cheap adapter like this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rankie-Plated-DisplayPort-Female-Adapter/dp/B00Z08TZNU/

No, you won't be able to use your motherboard ports.

You will need to purchase a converter or a different monitor. Perhaps something like this?

I've been using cheapo Displayport -> VGA adapters, the kind you can get for under 10 USD/EUR on Amazon.

Link to the last one i bought

I've used those for everything from connecting older crappy VGA-only TFTs to my positively ancient 22" CRT Monitor i bought back in the day for graphics work for ~1500 bucks, never had a problem getting them to work, simple plug and play and neither Monitor, BIOS nor OS ever even hinted at any kind of weirdness concerning being connected that way.

60hz 1600x900, https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00Z08TZNU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Why not just buy a display port to VGA cable? It appears your video card has more than one output, why try to finagle with the onboard video (which more than likely you can't run both at once).

You said your primary monitor ran off DP, so that would leave you one unused DP port, correct? I would get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00Z08TZNU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503764468&sr=8-1&keywords=displayport+to+vga

Then plug your other monitor in with that and disable the on-board video.

So I'd pull the VGA cable that's plugged into the serial connector, and plug it into a Displayport connector as you'd probably get better results.


All you'd need is a Displayport to VGA adapter.

You could also potentially look into getting a dedicated GPU like a GT 1030 or GTX 1650 if you wanted to see improved gaming performance. From your specs you have a Core i7-6700 CPU which is still pretty powerful, but limited by the integrated graphics.

Ah yeah I should have said DP/HDMI from GPU to VGA on monitor, my bad. So would like these three work too? Does it need to be an active one and are these three active ones? Would rather buy from amazon/newegg

Thanks for your time in helping out. Been researching building a new PC and then ran into the problem of finding out new GPUS don't support VGA or normal DVI and adding in a new monitor to my budget would degrade the quality of the PC so was wondering a quick fix for now would be an adapter and new monitor later.

Be careful with it though. If you kink, crush, stretch the cable, it'll start garbling the display.

dongles my man. I also have twin 1080Ti's, but sometimes I plug in an oculus and that has to use the single HDMI port on the card. so I got me one of these for my main display. If you have an older display, You can get an adaptor for that too. or even if you need a vga adaptor you can get that too.

most 1080Tis will have 2 or 3 displayports and only a single hdmi, so getting displayport adaptors is a better choice.

and its better to get adaptors like this rather than hdmi to displayport cables (for example) because then you have a lot more flexibility. like you don't need to re-run your cables to your monitor, only plug in the adaptor at the computer end and plug it into the card.

There are adapters for that. Such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-DisplayPort-Adapter-Plated-Converter/dp/B00Z08TZNU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1549140014&sr=8-4&keywords=displayport+to+vga

I personally use an HDMI to VGA adapter until I get a new monitor.

I do this: 1080 ti to DP to VGA Adapter to ultimate Scart Adapter to PVM. Set up 240p using custom res utility. I got the settings from someone on here, would be happy to send them to you.

Do you mean the plug on the far left in this picture?
If so would that be a good choice?

If you can't get it working, you can always use a DVI- or DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter.

This is a pretty easy to solve problem with a simple adapter.

Just received confirmation that this method works on a GTX 1070 with this adapter,

Even the cheapest ones like these?

I am planning on getting the RX 480/470 when they come out, but my monitor doesn't have HDMI or display output. Would this adapter work to convert the display port to VGA?

So as my post seems to have gotten caught in the spam filter as haven't been active in /r/builtapc before so no one can see it, anyone think the amd 6350 black and GTX 1050ti is a worth it combo? Currently running a amd 4130 and gt 620 and planning to upgrade my gpu and psu(from stock to a EVGA 600 b1) first then cpu and liquid cooler later. End plan is gaming pc with 3 displays(displayport to vga for 2nd, dvi for main, hdmi for tv) and enough power to play what I want

If it has DisplayPort, a DP to VGA adapter could work.

I have no clue how well an HDMI to VGA adapter will work. It should be active from what I can tell.

If this is a very temporary situation, can you hook it up to an HDMI TV for a while or scavenge a GPU from another computer?
