Dvi-i / Dvi-d

For a GPU and a monitor to work together they both need to be either DVI-I>DVI-I or DVI-D>DVI-D, correct? And are there adapters for this?

 

This should explain:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI-I

Just read down about. Mostly when you buy a new GPU which has 2 DVI slots, they'll include converters to analoge VGA.

 

Is Analog VGA the one that uses the D-SUB Connector? And wouldnt I get better performance ou of DVI? Or am I completely confused here?

 

DVI > vga always. but if you have 2 monitors, and theyre both vga, theres not much you cand do. thats where the adapters come in..

 

But what if the video card has DVI-I and the monitor has DVI-D connector? Is there an adapter for that?

 

if im thinking right, it shuld work fine... till this point, i never knew there was a diff between I and D

Look at the diagrams closer to the bottom - DVI-I has four extra pins.

 

yes, i read that, now i know. but i never knew of it previously..

 

Oh, was just letting you kno in case you missed it before.

 

Most monitors come in Dvi-I, I believe...

 

Found a nice cheap off-brand (but still seems to be quality by the reviews) but its dvi-d:
