DVI vs HDMI

newbie4life · Dec 2, 2015

Ok I recently purchased a XFX R9 380x card and had a problem with it displaying full screen. The problem has been fixed by using a DVI - DVI cable instead of the HDMI - HDMI cable I was using.

Question is there any real difference of using DVI vs HDMI?

They both carry the same digital signal. HDMI usually carries audio as well (although later DVI can too). What you are experiencing is common with AMD cards and HDMI sometimes. It can be remedied by going to CCC and sliding the overscan slider back a ways and then back to 0. Then hit "apply". http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZKd0B.png

HDMI only supports up to 1080p at 60hz. It carries audio though. But if you have a monitor that is higher than 60hz you have to use dvi.
