New rumor about ATI Southern Islands

[RaZz!]

i still dont understand why they still use dvi ports. just make the dvi ports hdmi or display port and throw in a hdmi/display port to dvi dongle

well, hdmi is probably the worst connection interface for pc ever. it is inferior to dvi in almost every aspect, imo. there's only one reason why we have hdmi on our graphics cards if you ask me: TVs. however, a hdcp ready dvi interface with a dvi-to-hdmi adapter would work for that purpose as well...

don't know about displayport, but there are a few myths floating around - regarding higher latency than dvi etc. i've yet to find a reliable source that proves these claims though, but rumors like this mostly don't come up without a reason.

i'm very happy with the fact that dvi is still around - but this proves my point somehow.
