HDCP Compatibility via DVI?

[kingnothing83]

Thank you for your list of HDCP compatible video cards its extremely helpful. Im looking to build a new pc this week and am looking at parts. I like the look of a 22" samsung monitor, it says its HDCP ready and it has a DVI and VGA port on it, no HDMI.

Out of your list of compatible cards which of them are HDCP through DVI? Going to manufacturers websites it says they are HDMI and HDCP compatible. But as my monitor wont have a HDMI port will it work properly? If i just need a convertor from my video card HDMI port to my monitors DVI port thats fine.

But if i purchased one of the cards on the list and connected the DVI to my monitors DVI is there a chance it wouldnt work? Thanks a lot

HDMI
DVI

Same thing, only difference is HDMI also carries audio

You can get DVI > HDMI / HDMI > DVI cables also.

HDCP can go over DVI and/or HDMI
