Advice please. I have a 27" monitor which connects only via HDMI. My
PC has an NVIDIA GTX 750 2GB video card with mini-HDMI, DVI-I, and
DVI-D adapters. What's my best option for an adapter to connect the
two with the least (if any) performance hit?


HDMI.Â* The mini has the same number of pins as regular but smaller and
with a different pin arrangement.Â* 'Regular' HDMI plug is called type A
and mini is type C in the wp article which also describes the pins. They
make cables which are A-C, or if you already have an 'A-A' cable there
are A-C adapters.

This amazon ad page which shows both happens to show it a little cheaper
to buy the whole cable than the adapter

Monoprice has the adapters for $.89

and a cable mini to std 6ft for $3.59

Much better prices on cables.

I'd buy the adapter though. That way you can buy or use current cables.
