Probably the hdmi port does not exist in 10 years anymore
- emteycz 6y agoI call bullshit. The VGA port is still alive and well. Wanna bet $50?
- willis936 6y agoShow me a GPU made in the last five years that is even capable of outputting VGA.

- cozzyd 6y agoI thought that the DVI port had VGA pins most of the time. A lot of projectors are still VGA only at various places you might give a talk
- willis936 6y agoOnly DVI-I carries analog. Look for the four dot grid on the left of the connector. If the dots are not there then there is no analog video output.
- bydo 6y agoShow me a projector made in the last five years that isn't capable of inputting VGA? I mean, don't actually, they do exist (mostly in the realm of inexpensive portable mini-projectors). They're the exception, though, not the norm. VGA is most certainly still around (and, I agree, shouldn't be, as it is also still terrible), just not in the market that spends $800 on GPUs.
- m463 6y agoThis is now done by dongles that convert to VGA.
- willis936 6y agoThere are no options that push pixel clocks that native RAMDACs can. The Delock 26297 (which needs to be imported from Germany) can hit about 250 MHz, which is enough for most uses. Unfortunately, the connector is total rubbish and causes serious signal integrity issues. I have two and one of them can barely hit 150 MHz. There is a USB-C option which can supposedly hit 300 MHz. RAMDACs hit 400 MHz. It’s a real shame they’re not in new cards. Hence my point: VGA is dead because it isn’t in new hardware.
- heelix 6y agoIt is dying. I've got a mess of monitors that are VGA/DVI, and the video cards don't always have that output anymore. Some do... but watching them fade. VGA maxes out at 1920x1200 or so before you need to make the jump to DVI. Think dual link DVI starts at 2560x1440. If you know of a 3080 that has DVI, I'm interested.
- leetcrew 6y agoit's dying off as a source, but my guess is it will remain as an input for a long time. the TV I bought this year still has component video inputs. when's the last time you bought a piece of equipment that only outputs analog video?

- pengaru 6y agoVGA is a far more future-proof analog interface than these digital drm-friendly "successors". For some time you required VGA to drive the highest resolutions because HDMI hadn't yet delivered the necessary bandwidth.
- m463 6y agoHDCP is also alive and well. (3.5mm headphone, not so much)
- ValentineC 6y agoI find it really interesting that Apple chose to include 3.5mm jacks in their M1 MacBooks.
- m463 6y agoAren't they dual analog + optical out?
- kayodelycaon 6y agoNot since 2015. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202730 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202730
- tim-- 6y agoThey have not been for a few years now. I think the 2012 mac books were the last to have them?
- deergomoo 6y agoI wouldn’t count on it. There will always be a need to connect external peripherals, and they’ll just continue to update the spec to expand its capabilities. HDMI 2.1 supports 4K120 and 8K60, I expect that alone will be sufficient into the 2030s.
