ZOTAC Embraces All High-Resolution Connections on Graphics Cards
"ZOTAC is always leading the way with our graphics cards. As new displays are shedding old connections, it's the perfect time for us to move ahead do the same," said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.
By eliminating the legacy TV output port, all newly manufactured ZOTAC graphics cards feature HDMI, dual-link DVI and VGA outputs for high-resolution connections to monitors and televisions. ZOTAC GeForce GTS 250, 9 and 8400GS series graphics cards with HDMI output also have a S/PDIF audio input to route audio from a sound card or onboard high-definition audio for simultaneous audio and video output over a single HDMI cable for simplistic connectivity to the latest displays and audio receivers.
"ZOTAC was the first graphics card manufacturer to include DVI-to-HDMI adapters and S/PDIF audio input throughout its entire lineup in the early days of HDMI connectivity. Now that HDMI is becoming a default standard for monitors and televisions, it was an obvious forwards-looking move," Mr. Berger said.

and ATI also has DisplayPort on DX11 generation HD 5000 series :P
Though I completely admit that most of this comes from my anal retentiveness. Absolutely not going to use one monitor on VGA and one on DVI. I end up dwelling on the quality difference between the two...
I've seen a fair few pentium 4 machines on 1080P screens, and they're from the "1280x1024 is pro!" era.
many older systems get a new screen at some point, so the connectivity and maximum resolution really does matter.
gamers are the only people that upgrade their machine each time they get a bigger screen ;)
