I believe the signal is read as a digital one even though its starts of analog before being converted

Answer 2

Nope.  Some versions of the DVI connector (DVI Integrated) can carry analog video as well as digital.  The little grid of 4 contacts around a blade carry analog video.  See the bottom of  http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info...

No way. Upscaling cables can improve quality, but they won't make the signal digital. And upscaling cables are usually DVI to HDMI. Upgrade your motherboard to one with a 16x PCI-E 2.0 slot for the graphics card. Then get the new nVidia 9500GT. Only about £50 but will do Crysis some justice.
