Guild Wars 2

How do I get my monitor to play in HD, I have a gtx 660 ti, do I need to plug my hdmi cable into the card directly or something? please help I am very confused and new to computers and any and all help will be greatly appreciated
Is there a specific type of hdmi cord I will need?

hd is often consider to be 1920×1080 (in fact, in the TV industry, so was 720.) That is supported by VGA, HDMI, DVI and other standards as well.

So I am not sure what you are asking. You can’t set your rez to 1080? Or you bought a higher than HD monitor such as 2560?

Best connection to worst.
DisplayPort > DVI > HDMI > VGA

This is the Guild Wars 2 tech support fora, not the online manual for your monitor or graphics card.
Read those or google it, or ask your local geek to explain computers to you.

Head to overclock.net, a bunch of people will help you.

DVI and HDMI should be almost identical, at least in theory. HDMI is like DVI, but with audio added, which is why DVI to HDMI adapters can work.

One difference I do know of, is that HDMI (the last version I know of) did not support higher than 1080. Dual link DVI probably does ( 1080 with dual link ( http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html .) That does not make DVI better than HDMI as such. If you needed audio to your display for some reason, DVI won’t do that.

As for Display Port, I know little about it. It probably supports better than 1080 though, as it’s a newer standard. Have to love “progress”
