No, I have vga and dvi and used both, just wondering if there was any real noticeable difference between a vga with dvi adaptor and just plain dvi.

vga will be vga (lower quality) wether you use a vga to dvi adapter or not.. for true dvi to be of use your card and monitor must have dvi input/output. So if your able to connect ur pc and monitor via dvi connectors only (no adapter shit), do so.. http://www.speedtest.net/result/4302967033.png

There is yes, especially with the high resolutions. It is recommended always to use DVI if possible. My IMDb Ratings \| Fix NFOHump Cookies \| Hide Users / Threads \| Embedded Content (Videos/GIFs/Twitter/Reddit) \| The Derps Collection Death smiles at us all; all we can do is smile back.
