My video card is the nVidia GT610, it is quite old now but does have DVI-I (which I use now) plus HDMI and VGA ports. The max digital resolution is 2560x1600 for this card.
Looking ahead to when I replace/update my monitor perhaps to a 27" screen, the current generation of monitors in the main have DP and mini-DP with many also still having HDMI.
As I understand it HDMI has various standards depending on the age of the card (a little like USB1 through now to USB3.1 ?) so though I could likely use the HDMI connection on my card it is possible it may not conform to get the best out of the screen?
Hence the question, I have seen that there are DVI to DP adaptors though not 100% sure that they are two way i.e. card DVI to screen DP & card DP to screen DVI ?
Has anyone used such adaptors and gotten the anticipated performance i.e. in my case DVI-I card port > adaptor > DP port on the screen at, in the case of a 27" screen, the full 2560x1440 resolution???
TIA for any insights and advice as to the above being possible & logical and which adaptor make & model to get?
