Which DVI cable should I buy for my set up (DVI-I Dual for GFX card, DVI-D for monitor)? [closed]

"The video part of HDMI is electrically equivalent to DVI-D, so you will have the same quality signal, whether you go for HDMI or DVI.

You can put a male DVI-D connector into a female DVI-I connector, so you can connect the card to your monitor using a DVI-D cable.

That said, a decent HDMI lead can be bought for around $10. If you intend to watch HDCP content, then you need an HDMI lead. To ensure HDMI playback of HDCP content all parts of the signal chain must be HDCP compliant, as far as I can make out the monitor and graphics card are both HDCP compliant so if I were you I'd get an HDMI lead."

"Dual-link DVI cables are more bulky than single-link DVI cables (more internal wires). HDMI cables are less bulky than DVI cables.

For 1920x1080 you'll only need a single-link DVI cable (which is probably the cheapest of the three).

If you want to carry audio (and the video card and monitor both support it) on the same cable, then you'll want to go HDMI."
