Hdmi and dvi?

Question

got my self a big lcd tv finaly, the question is my pc is hooked up to the lcd tv via standard dvi to vga cable, I have nvidia 7900 256mb which supports HD. now if I get an hdmi to dvi cable will that improve the picture quality? will a vga cable transfer HD video up to 1080i? because I am just thinking if I should buy a dvi to hdmi or there's no point.

I am an IT engineer myself but the techno is moving so fast it's hard to keep up nowadays.

Answer 1

no point

Answer 2

There is no difference between the picture quality of DVI to HDMI. The difference is HDMI carries all audio signals aswell unlike DVI but video quality won't differ.

I am not quite sure if a VGA cable transfers HD video up to 1080i but i wouldn't doubt if it did something like 480p which is still sharper then the standard 480i, i could be wrong though.

Answer 3

no point at all
