Monitor port DVI vs HDMI
Hello

I was wondering what is the performance difference between a monitor in DVI and HDMI

I'm looking to buy a monitor between 200 and 300 $ but I noticed some have only HDMI.

What would you recommend for light gaming?


Cheers

unfortunately those prices are in US $. I live in Canada, but it gives me a very good idea. Thank you.

I have an i5

Should be enough no?

thanks guys. That's a lot of help. Makes more sense now.

Shouldn't I go with 144mhz for gaming?


can your setup push over 60fps on games ? if yes then an asus or a benq can easily be an option for about 250$

There is no performance different between the two.
They use the same protocal, this is why you can convert hdmi to dvi at the cable.

The only real difference between the two is that HDMI supports audio as well (but if you not using monitor speakers this is useless for a computer).
