I have a bunch of computers with PCI-e slots and a bunch of Radeon X1300 graphics cards, which do not have VGA output. I only have VGA cables. I do not have the cables or adapters for the video cards, and there is no possibility of me obtaining them (I will sell the cards before I buy the cables.)
I know that in addition to serving as a display adapter, video cards contain their own RAM and processing power to offload work from the system RAM and CPU. Is there any way that I can utilize a graphics card in this capacity while still connecting my monitor to the VGA slot normally associated with the integrated graphics?
I also have some old PCI graphics cards with VGA output... Could I connect the monitors to those while using the PCI-e card's GPU?
