Kind of a noob question, but I got a gtx560 Ti, and is there any point to the dual DVI ports other than dual monitors?

And also, on my monitor, theres a DVI IN and an RGB IN. Should I be using the DVI or the RGB?
 
Solution
Dual DVI ports are just for dual monitors. Nothing more.
For your monitor, you should always use DVI because DVI uses digital signal whereas RGB uses analog signal -> DVI is better than RGB.
RGB port on today's monitors exists only to support old systems or some budget motherboards.

I'm not so sure about the RGB but I would only imagine that the point to having Dual DVI ports is for Dual Monitor setups...I have dual dvi ports too, I just choose not to use dual monitors
