I might be wrong there and backwards compatibility on CPUs isn't common, it definitely happens though.(07-13-2015, 12:02 AM)Rukii Wrote: Because you need backwards compatibility when transferring and upgrading the generally accepted standards?Yes, but monitors usually only have DVI-D because you don't need the extra analogue signal. Problem is that DVI-I doesn't fit into DVI-D ports. So we have backwards compatibility, but no current compatibility. Makes sense...
-I is both digital and analog, essentially hdmi (-sound) and vga, at the same time.
DVI transfers more than vga, which was and is needed for better monitors.
It's not exactly new, mind you <w<
