I'm going to be adding an outboard graphics card to my PC. It has, one
each, a DVI-D, a displayport, and and HDMI port. My two monitors both have
DVI-D ports. I know I will need to get an adapter cable of some sort to
connect the second DVI-D monitor to either one of the other ports. Which
one would be best the displayport or the HDMI?

dvi-hdmi adapters are cheap.

FYI, my second monitor also has a VGA port that is currently how it is
driven.

yuk. switch to dvi.

He will, because his new graphics card doesn't have a VGA output.

My old card does, and it can't quite do 1920*1080 through its DVI port,
so VGA is what I must use. And I couldn't care less.

I tried both VGA and DVI with my previous 1280*1024 monitor, and could
see absolutely no difference at all between the two.
