Monitor: Samsung C27F398, 1920 x 1080 resolution
Video Card: ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750

Monitor has HDMI and DP input connections only
Video card has mini-HDMI, DVI-I (Dual Link), DVI-D (Dual Link) outputs only

We use the computer and monitor for gaming. We use separate speakers for sound.

What cable combination with different "ends" would allow the monitor to run in its native resolution and maximize video card or monitor performance and be "plug and play" where I can simply plug the cable in on each end and everything works?

On Amazon I see:
DVI on end of cable, HDMI on other end

mini-HDMI on one end of cable, HDMI on other end

DVI on end of cable, DP on other end

Display Port to HDMI adapter, then use regular HDMI cable

Or maybe some other sort of combination I'm not thinking of!?

Thanks for your time.

Dvi, hdmi and dp are all digital and interchangeable as you can use passive. The cables you linked will work but the adapter will not because the gpu doesn't have dp. There is no best and all work the same but here are all your (simpler) options unless I missed any:

mini hdmi to hdmi cable
mini hdmi to hdmi adapter with hdmi cable
mini hdmi to dp cable
mini hdmi to dp adapter with dp cable

dvi (d or i for all of these) to hdmi cable
dvi to hdmi adapter with hdmi cable
dvi to dp cable
dvi to dp adapter with dp cable
Hello... Well I use a low cost DVI-I adaptor $3 to a HDMI cable for a remote monitor... but the digital audio does not transmit this way for me... but that is fine for me with this installation purpose.
I would expect the Mini HDMI to transmit the sound if that is needed too.

All through k1114- Thanks for your time. Sounds like the mini hdmi to hdmi cable is the easiest solution.
