I own a BeyerDynamic DT 880, I lost my original receipt, how do I find out  how many OHMS my model has?

Quote: yes dvi-d means dual link

Quote: i meant to write before that i am running 2560 X 1600 (not 1080), and yes i am using a dvi-d cable.

Quote: after gaming at 2560 X 1080 with a dvi-d cable and my dell monitor, i have decided that 2560 X 1080 with gaming looks significantly better than 1920 X 1080 over hdmi. unless i play a console game i never want to play a pc gaming at anything less than 2560 X 1080.

Quote: i agree. pny said my hdmi will not do audio only, i might still try it when i get a receiver. as of now it will probably be optical cable to receiver, dvi-d to monitor.

Quote: sorry, i meant to say sony and microsoft in regards to their next consoles, as of now, will not support gaming resolution beyond 1080p

Quote: i am almost positive what you are referring to is only for video (movies, documentaries, etc... that go beyond 1080p).  pc gaming takes up a lot more processing power from a pc. According to a phone conversation i had with PNY my video card company, they said only dvi-d cables and...

Quote: not sure who the "they" is you are referring to.  is it perhaps the message on boxes of hdtvs that say "FULL HD 1080p" have succeeded in marketing to the masses.   with dvi-d cables and from what i have been told display ports cable you can game way beyond 1080, check my screenshot...

Quote: i spoke with pny the video card company of both my gtx 680 video cards and they said no matter what hdmi cable version you use you will not go beyond 1080p for gaming. he did say display port will support over 1080p.  what i just mentioned is probably why , as of know, sony and...

i know it has been some time, but thank you for your post

Quote: i agree that hdmi is probably capable of 3840 X 2160 however i think that is only with movies/ video (the current small amount of "4K" stuff that is out there to buy).  DVI-D is different from DVI , from my understanding DVI-D the only cable that can produce true 1080p stereoscopic...

Quote: the reason i want to use dvi-d for video is because i have a 30 inch dell u3011 monitor which supports 2560 X 1600 which with pc gaming looks  much better than 1080p gaming, this is why i prefer dvi-d over hdmi. i am pretty sure only dvi-d can support 2560 X 1600.

Quote: can i have only audio pass through one of my GTX 680 video cards though hdmi and video pass through the dvi-d cable so that i can have hdmi audio and 2560 x 1600 video?  or am i stuck with optical and 2560 x 1600 resolution?

do i still need a good sound card for my pc to take advantage of a receiver?
