I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.

Um what? All I know is this: I have a Nvidia GTX 770 which has those two weird ports. I have a VERY VERY VERY OLD monitor. I plugged it in and it works beautifully, no complaints. As for over heating...um....what? No offense but I don't think you know what your doing or even talking about if your asking about monitors overheating. I've NEVER heard of that happening.

It likely will NOT work because it is an adapter versus the actual cable. It has been my experience that adapters are hit or miss propositions and mostly misses. By contrast, however, if you buy a VGA to DVI cable, that setup will work. The cable is only about $2:00 more than the adapter so it is well worth your while to buy the cable. The cable has a VGA plug on one end and a DVI cable on the other end They are designed for the purpose you have just described and typically they work. The adapters, by contrast, are very unreliable. They may work and then, again, they may not.

You need the convertor adaptor to do so.....I done it before for HDMI, but never try VGA.

I agree with what ReynerN said in response to your question; so long as you have a DVI output from your desktop, VGA is cake.

It works well for bnc to vga monitors. It has three resolution settings to give you what you need.

I don't know. All I've used is the HDMI and USB, and have not had any issues at all. The other comment about the USB port being defective makes the most sense. I don't think VGA would deliver power -- I think that has to go through the USB connection.

I got this StarTech.com DisplayPort to VGA Video Adapter Converter - 1920x1200 - Display Port / DP Adapter M/Fand it works perfectly :)

I don't think this is the right converter.I think you need something more like this:StarTech.com USB to VGA Multi Monitor External Video Card Adapter - 1440x900 - USB to VGA External Graphics Card

I'm sorry, but I have to correct James C. Kenny's answer. It absolutely, positively matters. This adapter, as most others, CAN NOT work VGA --> HDMI. You can find some that will do VGA --> HDMI, but you'll get mixed results. The ones that do work usually have an external power supply attached.

This only works with a display port output. Typical on MacBooks and some Dell, Lenovo, and He laptops. From my reading their is no converter that works with VGA or Hdmi.

The DVI works fine. The problem is likely your video card and possibly the cable.Read the specs and you will see that it requires a specific kind of DVI (there are four).The cable looks similar but the pin-outs are different.Look for a video card that supports the dual DVI connection.These cards tend to be more expensive, which makes sense as you are pushing a high resolution.You will need a card with at least 2 Gig of memory (prefer DDR5; or min DDR3) or your experience will suffer.Look at an AMD Radeon 7700 series or higher card.If I recall correctly, it requires dual DVI.

We use only VGA monitors with this card. The dongle that comes with this card is DVI to VGA. DVI output only means that there are no other ports on the card other than DVI but with the DVI to VGA dongle you can use VGA monitors.

This card comes with a DVI port in the back of it. But it also comes with a DVI to VGA converter with it in the box that you can attach to the DVI port to make it VGA. So yes it can be converted

The claims are somewhat confusing. I bought it with the intention to go VGA -> HDMI (laptop VGA out to an HDMI LCD TV). I returned it, assuming it was defective.Reading the bullet point use cases carefully, it appears they're selling it ONLY as a product that will go FROM an HDMI port into a VGA port. So you could, in theory, output your BluRay player to an old CRT.

Yes. Most video cards can have a monitor plugged into each port the have.Can plug a monitor into the VGA port and another into the HDMI port.

Greetings friend Russell P. works like this: The Vga and DVI is a single output (choose one of the two) is the second hdmi output independent and if you need three monitors must install a pci express card which should override the integrated hdmi to activate the card itself if you need analog TV output you'd have to get you one of the 8400 series that bring that out OK. Saludos amigo Russell P. funciona asi: El Vga y el DVI es una sola salida (escoges uno de los dos) el hdmi es la segunda salida independiente y si necesitas tres monitores debes instalar una tarjeta pci express la cual debera anular el hdmi integrado para poder activar el de la propia tarjeta, si necesitas salida TV analogica tendras que buscarte una de la serie 8400 que traen el esa salida OK.

Yes, very easily. Mine even came with a DVI to VGA converter. Just stick it on the end of your VGA cable and plug it into the card. I HIGHLY recommend this card. Great performance to price ratio.
