Default DVI to VGA question
hi there, i have a GTX 670 on my PC and i am using a dvi to vga adapter (connected to AOC e2243Fw via VGA) because i dont have a dvi cable, i wanted to know difference between connecting with the adapter and using a DVI cable.

It will limit the res you can run at... but unless your using something high res you should see no / little difference.

Is it that you have no cable or there isn't DVI on the monitor?? would be better to just get a cable if it has DVI
