Okay so I'll soon be getting the U2711, a monitor that supports 10 bit colour/over a billion colours. However I'm assuming not everything will support the full range of colours this monitor offers and wanting to get the most out of this monitor I need to know what video cards/cables I should be using to do so?
 
But say I did go out of my way to get the necessary hardware, all that would be is either HDMI 1.3, DVI-D or DisplayPort and a 5xxx or higher card or quadro? Just confirming

All nVidias GT200 and higher based cards support 10bit color (note GTS250 isn't included in this as its G92b) however the 65nm ones definitely do not support it on anything other than display port (which I don't think is present on any of the GeForce models) and I believe on later cards its left to the AIB to support it on the available outputs and AFAIK none have added support for it over DVI-D or HDMI but theres little documentation - its not something most people seem to know anything about.

So display port is the most reliable connection for 10 bit on later cards?
