DSUB is obsolete for a very good reason. If your monitor is so old that it uses DSub connectors, it needs to be replaced with something built within this century. Something with a Displayport or HDMI2 connector.

There's no point buying a new GPU and then playing on an early 1990s monitor.

With respect, it's an old monitor. Whether you recently bought it or not doesn't make it new, the fact it uses an obsolete cable system identifies it as old and obsolete.

Get the model number of the monitor and post it. Also, what video card are you purchasing.?

if you absolutely want to keep that monitor, either stick with current GPU or but a last-year one (i.e gtx 9?0), those still have DVI-I that can drive a vga input.

But monitors that has only analog in, no digital are hardly worth bothering with these days IMNSHO. Pass it to someone with an old config.

Start by posting the model of Monitor you have;
and also the new GPU you were planning to get.
You can't do HDMI to VGA anyways; not with just a cable.

If anyone happens on this post, D-SUB is fine for 1080p, and some budget monitors still have them - but - if you are looking for analog video, DVI is a more powerful option.

yes vga (sub-d) can do 1920x1200 with zero delays and zero distortion or loss of image quality
*if using a quality vga/dvi-a cable with good shielding

its the exact same signal as analog dvi-a

I would also add that Sólstafir is a most arrogantly ignorant individual.

He is asking about digital to analog conversion.

According to Aperture Grille of Youtube it takes less than one milisecond.
