You can't directly connect them without adapters as there are no DVI or VGA connections through either the integrated motherboard or the provided GPU. First, I'd highly recommend getting some new monitors or even a small 4K TV. Especially if you invested in this beast of a machine. The GPU that comes with this can easily push 2K at full settings and 4K at medium to high settings. It might be injustice to pair this with some old monitors. Alternatively, if you have old DVI capable monitors, you can get a DisplayPort to DVI adapter (or cable). Here's one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/startech-com-displayport-adapter-black/1363436.p?skuId=1363436. You can easily find them by googling "DisplayPort to DVI". If you only have VGA capable monitors, same thing, you can get a DisplayPort to VGA adapter. However, I don't recommend this as you're going from analog to digital and vice versa. But if you must, you can easily find them by googling "DisplayPort to VGA".
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
