VGA is an older standard that carries only a video signal. DVI-I also comes in a dual-link configuration that doubles the bitrate. So when connecting with a TV or a projector or home theater system you can use a single HDMI cable to carry both audio and video signals or use a single VGADVI cable for video and a separate audio cable.

DVI-D also has a dual-link version but can support HDMI through an adapter so DVI can support VGA DVI and HDMI.

VGA It is the most common way of connecting but sadly nowadays we dont see VGA ports on the new graphics card. DVI uses the same video signal as HDMI does but there is no audio.
