DVI + DP compatibility question

[pkn]

Hi guys,

I have this GFX card which is DVI + mini HDMI only:

I would like to buy this LG monitor with Displayport and HDMI:

Would it be better to use a DVI - Displayport converter like this:

Or a mini HDMI - HDMI cable such as this:

Many thanks,

PKN

I've got that exact 560 ti and I've used it with my TV using a mini-hdmi to hdmi cable without any issues at all. Mostly to play media/a few games on the TV with the gf. Right now its in my ITX box streaming games from my X99 rig to the bedroom.

P.S dont advertise the jungle. Use this link instead:

Thanks man, so looks like HDMI should be fine and more economical. Is there any noticeable difference in refresh rates, quality between the two options?

HDMI hasn't got the bandwidth for 3440x1440 @ 60hz.

You'll want DP for that. However you'll need a new card.
