If I'm gonna get a graphics CARD for my computer and it has only dvi out...

would the quality that I SEE on my monitor be the same if...

I use a connect directly from graphics card to the dvi port on my monitor vs using a dvi to vga adapter and plugging into the vga port of my monitor?I've used a VGA to DVI adapter (DVI output, monitor uses VGA) and not noticed a real difference in quality.
I would say it would be pretty much the same quality as using a graphics card with a VGA output.So you mean DVI does not have too much difference in picture quality than VGA?

So DVI to VGA with VGA/DVI adapter is same as DVI to DVI direct connector?Vga is ANALOG and DVI is 100% digital. When you're doing conversions from analog to digital some quality is going to be lost. However, that being said I think it really depends more on the display and video card you're using than the CONNECTION you're using to connect to it.

You'll likely notice some improvements in more graphic intensive programs (e.g. games) and DVD or high-def movies. When using pure DVI with no VGA conversions.
