I have a Power Color Radeon RX 480 and a BFG Tech GTX 285. Can I use both so I don't have to buy a display to VGA adapter?

so your monitor is vga only and you got a rx 480. ok well first of all rx 480's only have display port and dvi-i so you wont be able to get the card to display on your vga montior with any adapter. and no you cant run both the cards but just display the rx 480 through the 285s ports, thats not how it works at all. what you can do is sell your gtx 285 and get a cheap hdmi monitor because dvi-i to vga or display port to vga adapters wont work unless it also has a signal converter in which case it will cost more than a cheap hdmi monitor while a display port to hdmi adapter can be bought for like $1
i have two monitors. One is HDMI plugged into the 480. The other is a VGA/DVI-D and is plugged into the 285
yeah, I just looked up the Display to VGA cable, 14.95... Guess Ill just do that.
