HDMI to VGA for dual monitor setup?

Okay my GPU has an hdmi and a dvi port. the dvi port is being used by my main monitor, and i have another monitor i am not using because it does not have hdmi input. is there a cheap converter or cable that i can get to be able to use the hdmi port with my vga monitor?
Answer #1
Yes there are such things. Most computer shops would have a cable or double headed converter for this.

Answer #3
the dvi port is being used by my main monitor
will the 2nd monitor work off of the GPU’s DVI port
either monitor have a DVI port ?
convert GPU HDMI to DVI (both digital) and use the GPU’s DVI port for the 2nd monitor (analog)
you need a “HDMI to VGA converter box” to go from HDMI (digital) to VGA (analog)
google “HDMI to VGA converter box”

Well the thing is I already have the DVI port being converted to VGA with an adapter. Both monitors are only vga. I’m guessing I could possibly go hdmi to dvi with an adapter then dvi to vga, but that is two adapter and a cord plugged into a single port. It probably wouldn’t even fit with the other dvi-vga adapter in place.

don’t think that would work as DVI (some support VGA) & HDMI are digital input and VGA is analog (90% of DVI out also support VGA)
your GPU’s DVI out also supports VGA
but the HDMI connection is just digital and you would need a converter box to make it analog
