I have been using a DP (GPU) to VGA (screen) adapter for years with various  
screens and graphics cards. It works out of the box no issues whatsoever.

Honestly, I do not know. I know that it can run at 1920x1080 but the image  
has been (slightly) distorted. HOWEVER, that is most likely not the  
adapter's fault but rather the KVM switche's, because other PCs GPUs that  
are attached directly to VGA also show this distortion.

I also remember that VGA image quality can actually depend on the GPU and  
cable quality: I do not always get a sharp image with laptops directly  
attached to 1920x1080 monitors through VGA...

Note that modern USB-C type adapters could be DP adapters in disguise  
because some USB-C connectors also offer DP signals upon request.
