Even a cable connected to monitor may affect smoothness. Try using a nice DVI-D compared to DVI-I and notice how much faster big photos are loading when you move between them in Photo Viewer (works for 1680x1050 and up for sure).
I think no min/max fps/etc. tests may show the difference between cables used unless you actually check them out for yourself (only specific ones to test screen response/lag would).
Doubt that the mentioned 'trick' was used during the test though

I thought DVI-I was capable of doing both digital and analog signal, that's why there are those extra 4-pins, and I also highly doubt there's a speed difference between them that can be measured by simply "looking" at it... unless I'm missing the sarcasm here?Originally Posted by motopen1s
