Hi guys, my new computer will be getting delivered soon however I have a monitor with only an hdmi connection, I was wondering if anyone could help? my motherboard is the x99 deluxe and the graphics card is the Nvidia quadro k2000, I am still stuck which cable to get for the graphics card, either the display port to hdmi (which transfers audio) or Dvi-dl to hdmi. Can I use either audio? I know if I use the motherboard audio it will be through headphones or USB speakers etc, however which is best? And would I put strain on my graphics card using the audio on gpu as I will be doing rendering and such in 3ds max? Also I have seen display port to hdmi cable but also seen a converter? would I need converter if a all in one cable will do the trick? Here is two examples:

Why get a converter when a cable on it's own will do the job?

Cheers for any help or advice guys

Just use the audio port at the back of the motherboard. less hassle.

So would you suggest dvi dl to hdmi, or display-port to hdmi? And do you change your audio output settings to the motherboard?

I like Displayport to HDMI. no you just have to download the motherboard audio driver form the manufacturers site and plug the wire into the audio jack. and your good 2 go.

Regarding the cable, should I get a displayport to hdmi converter? Or a displayport to hdmi cable like the ones in my first question? And what are the pros and cons?
