I've been buying parts for 3 months, but I finally finished my first build. Unfortunately, I made one screw up with cable connections:
My Monitor (Gateway FHX2303L 1080p): DVI-D & VGA connections
My Motherboard (Asrock Z170 ProS): HDMI, DVI-D
My GPU (EVGA FTW Edition Nvidia 950 GTX ): DVI-I, HDMI (2.0), DisplayPort
Basically, I didn't realize the DVI in my GPU was DVI-I, not DVI-D. It's too late to return anything now. So, I was thinking about getting an HDMI cable and HDMI to DVD-D adapter from Monoprice. This way I could connect to my monitor through my mobo or through my GPU.
Will this be okay for my setup? Will have any weird image quality issues? Will the image noticeably degrade at all?
What about a HDMI to DVI-D cable? Is this better or just the same?
Alternatively, I suppose I could get a VGA - DVI-I adapter and use one of hte VGA cords I have around. However, I get the sense that would give me worse image quality. Am I right about that?
Thanks!
