I ordered the EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) and a Dell UltraSharp U3011 monitor. The GTX 580 has two DVI-I ports and one mini-HDMI port. The monitor has two HDMI, two DVI-D, one DP and one VGA.

Is it best to hook the monitor to the PCI using HDMI or DVI, or does it not mattery? Will they both allow for the sam maximum resolution of the monitor?

I apologize if this is a silly question or if it has already been answered.

Thank you.
 
Yeah sorry, no disrespect. Good luck to you, there is no doubt you will have one killer machine when its all said and done. I would have very little doubts in the gtx 580s capabilities, especially since it will be paired with an ample and powerful system with high quality components at its core. Whenever you go for the top of the line you should never be disappointed, and in your case I'm sure your new build will soar.
