Question: Do hardware adapters affect port performance

[firebasefury]

---

Almost all of our hardware devices have adapters like the following:

USB -> PS2
DVI -> VGA
DVI -> HDMI
IDE -> SATA
and so on...

Does attaching adapters to our ports/jacks affect the performance of a peripheral?

[togoys]

maybe at some points lyk ang pag.travel sa data it takes a little bit of delay compared to the usual set.up..

[ethzneuron]

yes, but i think its negligible.. part of its design is always to insure data flow & rate.

I think lang ha naay losses jud coz sa ako gani na KWORLD External TV Tunner when ako i paslak ang VGA cable na rounded ug end from the TV Tunner external sa VGA card from CPU kay murag blur iyang images ang text. Ako man jud gi sunod ang manual sa TV TUNNER pero mao lage gihapon naay losses sa signal niya bati ug kuha mao manuallly ako kuha kuhaon ang VGA cable from my LCD monitor transfer sa External TV Tunner hasol pud.

yes it does affect pero on limited parts ra and good enough to be unnoticed. DVI-VGA naa juy loss if gusto ka try nimo in higher resolutions.

USB -> PS2 = usahay nay incomapatibility. my PC won't detect my USB mouse if I use the PS2 adapter
DVI -> VGA = from digital to analog, conversion loss sa image quality
DVI -> HDMI = no audio feature (DVI)
IDE -> SATA = disabled plug-n-play capability

depende pod dayon sa cable quality

DVI -> HDMI = no audio feature (DVI)

So no audio feature pero how about ang video quality? di cya affected?

[limes]

wa diay from dvi-hdmi na audio? paeta abi nko naa toy audio ang ako 4850 kay wa siyay hdmi pero naay dvi-hdmi adaptor.

@fire --
from what I've read, there's practically no image quality diffrence as both are digital...

@limes --kung DVI lang, wa jud audio to bah

[dmelsie]

dapat hdmi gyud para nay audio included sa imo 4850, naka try nako wa audio mogawas if dvi to hdmi akoa gamiton, d pod ko sure basig sa setting or unsa wala ma nitingog aw nagbutang na lang ko speaker hehehe niya sa audio jack nako gi plug, naa ta built in speaker to monitor so ditso tingog na ta to if hdmi ko plug
