Is the video quality or gaming quality of using my HDMI port on my motherboard better than a good video card?

Digital is digital; it doesn't matter whether it's onboard DVI or the DVI on a 4870x2 card as far as image quality goes. 3D rendering speed and accuracy is another whole can of worms, and aftermarket cards pretty much always resoundingly pummel onboard.|||no, a good video card is better, the hdmi port just improves the quality of the picture, not how well the game plays. lets say you run the hdmi and you have a crappy card, your games will run like crap (depending on the specs of your computer and the specs of the game) but if you are watching a movie it will look superior to a regular monitor port. basically hdmi is a fancy monitor port. think of it as HD quality to a regular dvd quality

the video quality and gaming quality would be better in a dedicated (seperate) video card than an integrated card



video card helps to lessen the strain on the main processor by acting as a seperate processor dedicated in video/graphics processing.|||onboard is onboard which means it usually sucks
