Will three monitors work if they are connected via a vga splitter, which in turn will be connected to the video card via a vgadvi adapter?
I want to buy a new video card, which has only a DVI port (also hdmi, but this is not about me, apparently) and, because. I have 3 monitors with vga cables - splitter "VCOM VGA 1=>4 [VDS8016]". There is an adapter vga-> dvi. Will this splitter work correctly if connected to a video card through this adapter?

1. If it works, ALL monitors will show the same thing. Making the system see them as multiple monitors is basically impossible.
2. It will work only if the video card has a "full-fledged" DVI with analog pins, and not just digital DVI-D.
This is a full-fledged one:
This is "only digital":
In the case of "only digital" you will need not a simple blunt adapter (or splitter), but a converter, an "active adapter". These happen for HDMI too.
3. With such a video card, you will have a maximum of 2 monitors.
One via DVI->VGA, the other via HDMI->VGA.
"Active" adapters can spoil the image (extra digital-to-analogue conversion).
4. It will be easier to replace monitors.
