DVI-D (GPU Out) to VGA (Monitor In)

If like me you are trying to extend the life of your old PC by upgrading to Windows 10 and buying an older PCI-e GPU , But now you need a DVI-D-VGA cable, you need to buy that. By now, my dad's old HP DC7800 sff PC always worked with direct VGA from the onboard graphics to his Samsung monitor, but when I decided to add a discrete 2GB GPU to an open PCI-e slot, that was it what was available for output, DVI - D and HDMI. His monitor had HDMI and VGA, but HDMI is currently used by the Xbox 360. This cable worked like a charm to convert DVI-D from GPU to VGA on monitor. Let me capitalize the following sentence so there is no confusion. THIS CABLE WILL NOT WORK REVERSELY (VGA on the GPU to DVI-D on the monitor). As long as you understand what this cable is for, it should fit both your needs and mine.

Pros
  • DVI Cable
Cons
  • Very Expensive
