DVI question with regards to monitor and video card

[Swede88]

I'm trying to figure out the best use of cables if you have:

• Monitor - DVI and VGA inputs
• Video Card - HDMI, DVI outputs

Do you simply use a DVI cable between both?
Or would you use an HDMI cable with a DVI adapter for the monitor?

In this case DVI and HDMI is the exact same thing. So it doesn't matter.

Yes.

Simple enough. Thanks!

Oversimplifying here, but HDMI is essentially just DVI and an audio stream jammed into one cable.
