I just got a computer today with a 9800GT video card in it(thanks to rage and red for providing the advice on this). The card has two DVI ports and my monitor has a VGA and HDMI port. The card also came with two adapters, a DVI to VGA adapter(which I am currently using because I have a vga cable), and a DVI to HDMI adapter.
What I want to know is whether I should keep the adapter and buy an HDMI to HDMI cable to connect my monitor and GPU, or just remove the adapter from the equation completely and go for a DVI to HDMI cable without the adapter. Is one better than the other at providing a quality picture? Or is the difference too negligible to matter?
Either way I have to buy a cable so I was wondering which option was best. Thanks!
Edit: The monitor is an hp w2207h 1680 x 1050 native res if that matters.
