It is not practical to use a DP to VGA cable.

 

Your monitor needs to have a digital input such as Display Port, DVI or HDMI.

 

Buy a DP to HDMI or DVI cable if your monitor does not have a display port input, but has one of the other two inputs.

 

A DP to VGA cable that might work would be extremely expensive because it has to convert the display port's digital signal to an analog signal that is used by VGA.

 

A $10 cable isn't going to work.

 

I don't even know why they sell them.
