Mini HDMI (I think?) Video cuts out when I move the cable

My brother has a 560ti with mini HDMI, his card will no longer reliably connect through mini HDMI. It's a fairly common issue.

 

Use DVI, it's better.

It has been a long time non isuse really but I was wondering if this was a normal thing?

 

Normally the cable doesn't move so it doesn't matter... but I'm curious.

 

The GPU is a GTX 560ti and I think it is mini HDMI... to ofc HDMI on the monitor.

It works perfectly and my HDMI never moves...

 

The main reason using HDMI is useful for me is I have my speakers plugged into my monitor and my headphones plugged into the back of my computer.. I am able to switch between my headphones and my speakers without unplugging either by speaking the default audio device seemlessly.
