Wondering what would be the better option of connecting my video card.
I am running a monitor (used for everyday things) with DVI and a flat screen for gaming. At the moment, I have the video feed from the card running direct (mini-HDMI to HDMI) into one of the flat screens HDMI ports and everything seems fine, but would a better option be running the feed via receiver into television, or running a DVI to HDMI feed from card to receiver/television.
The DVI for the television would be through a DVI to HDMI cable and sound through the optical port on my sound card. Which also leads to the difference between using the HDMI cable for both sound/video vs. the DVI to HDMI cable to receiver/television and separate optical cable for sound.
thanks much,
