So my mobo is: AB350 Pro4

I have NVidia 1050 ti. it has HDMI and DVI but the mobo has a vga port. I ran Dxdiag and for both displays it just shows the 1050 ti and the VGA port isn't even showing up.

How can I activate this port so I can run a third monitor?

Thanks!

You don't.
The VGA is the onboard video card, You dont want to use it.

Depending on which 1050ti you have.. It should have more than just 1 hdmi/dvi

Also should have a Display Port, Which you can just use an adapter to change to Hdmi/Dvi.

It's a temporary solution for the third screen. Plan is to upgrade the 1050 ti at some point jn the near future. I know it won't have the same resolution and what not.

If you are using a Ryzen cpu in the motherboard it will not be possible because it has no onboard GPU.

If you use a 7th gen amd a-series you can in BIOS put integrated graphics to always.

1050ti can triple monitor on its own. Just buy an adapter.

Use the gpu you don't want to use the mobo graphics..

Vga can handle 1080p fine

But why mess with onboard video & install a separate driver for it & possibly cause issues with the rest of your PC.. When you can just get a $6 adapter to hook it up to your GPU properly

i have a 1050 ti and it also has a vga plug in as well as the others yours doesnt?
vga should be fine i know my old 2nd pc is usng vga monitor at 1680x1050 and the guy above me said it can support 1080p which wouldnt surprise me

Depends on what brand 1050ti

Not all of them have the same connections, VGA usually isnt used anymore.. What brand gpu?

Its EVGA. It doesn't have a VGA port, it has x1 HDMI and x1 DVI. I also don't see a place for an adaptor but I may just be dumb lol.
