Hi all!

 

So I am getting some monitor cables to plug into my graphics card that has 3 display-ports and 1 HDMI port. I was wondering though, is it better to get cables that are display-port to HDMI or display-port to DVI-D? Or does it really matter? Both of my monitors are 1920 x 1080, and have a refresh rate of 60Hz.

 

Thanks for the help!

Doesn't matter for 1080p 60 Hz.

Wouldn't matter in this case, get whatever you think is more convenient (DVI has screws to hold it in place, HDMI is less bulky).
