why it won't work:#

https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/converting-dvi-i-to-dvi-d-by-removing-4-pins.2822259/ That wont work. the Reason DVI-I to vga works is because DVI-I carries an analog signal. DVI-D does not carry an analog signal so it requires an active converter to convert the DVI-D's digital signal into the VGA's analog signal. Those 4 pins you think are ground are actually part of the analog signal.

trivia#

The limit of bandwidth of both VGA and DVI cable is not enough for higher than 2560*1600@60fps, which includes 4K.
