Question about DVI-D Cables

[ComputerBox34]

I have a few question about DVI-D cables.

First question:

Does DVID provide any sort of performance increase over DSUB? Does it look better then DSUB?

2nd:

If you have a DVID to DSUB converter plugged into your video card and then you have a DSUB cable going to your monitor, does that decrease performance at all? Is it better just to have a DVID cable instead of converters?

3rd:
Which is best for gameing?

4th:
Would this cable be a good 2 end DVID cable with 2 male connectors? I have female port on my monitor and another female on the video card. My monitor also does DSUB.

1) No real performance gain, and yes, it will look better
2) not really
3) DVI
4) No idea, will work but might pick up some noise if not shielded correctly
