Hello

I have a GTX 970 with DVI only, but I want to hook up an older VGA HP monitor. Is there anyway I can utilize the VGA input on the onboard video of the motherboard?....or am I going to have to get a VGA to DVI adapter?

MB is ASRock Z97 Pro 3 LGA 1150

I read somewhere that if I go into my BIOS I'd find a "dual monitor" setting that would allow this, but I didn't see anything like that.

Thanks

You posted this in the wrong section, but, you could get a cable that goes VGA to DVI, or a adapter, assuming the card has a DVI-I connection.
