DVI has some flaws also..specially in case of gaming:

VGA vs DVI>>

"If your monitor is digital, you have one more variable to worry about. While using the DVI connection results in the brightest, sharpest and most vibrant image, you will once again run into problems if you don’t have the most high end hardware. Using the DVI connection means you have to run everything at the native resolution. You don’t have the option of running at lower resolutions and if you try, your game most likely won’t even start. My monitor has 5 inputs (DVI, VGA, Component, S-Video and Composite) and my videocard has dual DVI outs. I’m currently using both outputs, one with a VGA adapter which I use when playing games. The other a digital-to-digital connection which is my standard viewing mode. It’s rather unfortunate that I can’t run games using the DVI connection, but some of the more demanding games won’t run at anything more than low or medium settings at that resolution on my current rig."

I really do not understand what is being said here? I use an 8600 GT with a DVI cable and native resolution of 1680x1050. A lot of my games I run at lower resolutions than native and I have never faced this problem?

I really do not understand what is being said here either as I use an 8800GTS with a DVI cable and a native resolution of 1680x1050 & I run World in Conflict & Crysis at lower resolutions than native and I have never faced that problem too :S

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

VGA cannot be converted to DVI as VGA is Analog & DVI is Digital :P

whereas DVI can be converted to VGA as DVI Ports can give out Analog Signals too if supported by the the GFX card :)
