Whats the difference in a HDMI cable and DVI-D Dual Link Cable? Which would be better for gaming?

Avocade · Apr 14, 2014

Dvi is better

If you are gaming in HD, then HDMI.

HDMI's better for gaming. DVI is video only, whilst HDMI has audio built into the cable and is capable of higher than a 1080p. DVI's newer than VGA, and barely of a improvement.

They are the exact same thing however dvi I feel is better its just preference HDMI can transmit 8 channel audio to TVs and monitors with built in speakers where as dvi cannot

Dvi supports the same resolutions as HDMI... I don't know what you think your talking about but you are mistaken. HDMI is also limited in transfer bandwidth.

coastie65 · Apr 14, 2014

VGA was analog, DVI is Digital and HDMI takes digital a step further with a wider band for transferring stuff.

Dual Link DVI offers a high bandwidth than HDMI

Thaught that was what I had seen somewhere, but wasn't sure.

yeah its close to double the bandwidth. Now this isnt super significant since the bandwidth for both is plenty.

OP - This is really no different than Nvidia VS AMD ... its strictly based on a opinion. Facts are side by side you wont see a difference in quality... They both support the same resolutions. Hdmi has built in Audio for use with TV's and build in speakers...
