hi,

XFX 5670 has a VGA, HDMI and a displayport connections.. now i have 2 monitors and both of them can only connect through VGA. So, i have to convert either of the HDMI or the Display port to VGA or DVI. So now the doubt.. which one should i convert? the HDMI or the Displayport?

If i convert either of them, will they retain their HDCP properties? or will the resulting data just be pure video content ( just the plain properties of VGA?) ?

If possible, please explain how the conversion takes place.. i've been trying to figure out how connections can be converted within a small converter which in some cases is just a piece of wire.
