Go to solution Solved by MblaZe7run,

They all will work, but I always go DisplayPort>DVI-D>HDMI. HDMI 1.1 has a max of 60Hz refresh rate (iirc). DVI-D maxes at 120Hz (again, iirc), and I don't know what DisplayPort caps at, but yet again, if I remember correctly, maxes at about 480Hz. Please research the numbers and correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd say I aim to be above average, but in reality, I'm sitting on LTT forums instead of doing a case project for school because the topic has become boring to me and my grade is currently average-at-best.
