What cable do I buy for my 2nd monitor?

Windows pc user here

I have a gtx 1050 ti graphics card and as of right now there's 1 hdmi monitor connected to it. I received a free 2nd screen from my uncle i'd like to use but it's VGA.

My graphics card only has 3 outputs: 1x hdmi 1x dvi 1x dp is it possible to connect my 2nd VGA screen to my GPU? I have no idea what cable to buy. I have a HDMI to VGA adapter, but yeah, I only have 1 hdmi output. Should I get a splitter? Or something totally else?

Thanks in advance...

Solution 1:

I had the same issue with a Gigabyte GTX 1050Ti in the end i used this adapter

I got mine from Amazon

This particular one is from Ranke and converts your Display output to a VGA and it works fine

Hope it helps

Solution 2:

Using a HDMI splitter won't solve your problem, unless you want the same thing to be displayed on both monitors (you won't be able to use them as 2 separate monitors).

Without knowing what type of DVI output your GPU provides, your safest option is to get a Displayport to VGA adapter.
