hi guys

i have an ati 6970 that has 1 hdmi 2 dvi ports and 2 other ports that i have no idea about and i never used

i have my video card connected to my av receiver then my av receiver to my samsung led tv and a 1 dvi port to an assus monitor

but since av reciver hdmi output broke i had to connect my av reciver to my video card using hdmi cable and using it like a sound card for audio only

and my monitor is the same connected by the dvi but i want to use 1 of the 2 other ports to connect them to my tv i heard they are called display ports i want to know if they have same quality image as hdmi or same colors because i heard that the dvi has less picture quality and for some reason my second dvi port is not working no matter what i connect to it . it get black screen

thanks for the reply

it would harm my card if i used the 3 ports :( ?

the dvi port never worked since the day i bought the card and i never returned it coz i never thought i would need it

i think the ports i have on my video card are mini display ports ?

they looks smaller than the displayports that i saw in google so i will need some kind of an adapter to make the second end to an hdmi becouse my tv has hdmi ports only and i was wondering if that will couse any problems ?
