Can dvi i to vga adapter can change monitor display quality

[Rexinriot]

I have a flat panel samsung monitor with only one vga port...I am planning to buy a gtx 960 which does have dvi I ,hdmi and all other ports except vga....
now I know that to connect my monitor to graphics card I need a dvi I to vga port...

but my question is:
1. will such connection give digital signal to my monitor ie will my display quality improve...or by connecting the adapter actually again I am getting analogue signals to my monitor..and thus same inferior picture quality (as I know digital signals to monitor means better picture quality..if not wrong)
In short is there any chance to improve quality in my monitor by connecting dvi I connector to vga of monitor....
2. Moreover do I require a active adapter or passive for desired result....

Sry if its a dumb question...but really confused about how to get a gud quality monitor

You will still only get an analog signal passed through the adapter so there will be no improvement in picture quality.

No. VGA will only adapt from a DVI port that supports analog signaling, such as DVI-A or DVI-I. DVI-A is strictly analog. DVI-I supports both analog and digital. Where as VGA would not function at all on a DVI-D, which is strictly digital.

Varying signal strength is a known quality of VGA because of the analog signal. The question you ask seems to suggest question if there is loss of quality from the digital signal. That is not how it works.

Ok I got it...now..by using passive converter or any such devices ...can I convert analog to digital signals for better picture quality..

No, analog will stay analog.

By way of explanation, the DVI to VGA adapter does not convert a digital signal to analog but rather passes through an existing analog signal. Conversely, you cannot "convert" an analog signal to DVI. It will still be analog.

 

[cliffordcooley]

There is no need in converting, you already have digital

 

[Rexinriot]

Thnks I understood

you cannot "convert" an analog signal to DVI.

Passively no, but you can convert VGA to DVI.

By doing vga to dvi...is there any chance of better picture quality in monitor?

 

[cliffordcooley]

I'm afraid not. The digital signal will still be analog quality. But by converting the signal to digital as soon as possible there will be less chance of signal degradation (which by the way is a slim chance with short cables).

NUTSHELL:
Dont worry, old monitor/new GPU, adapter works like a charm, no qualiy difference AT ALL.

Not much point in spending the money on a new graphics card if you don't upgrade the monitor. I think you need to do both, or just stay with what you have.

I purchased the zotac 960 amp 2gb...hoping to upgrade monitor in future...

¿? no.
