DVI has two 24 bit streams on each interface, so it could be used
for > 8 bits/component, but it also appears to be a provision for higher
bandwidth for high resolution & high refresh rates. Information on what
particular displays or display cards actually do, seems to be scant. I
could find no real technical information on the NVidia based card in
my current system either with the card, or on the manufacturers or NVidia's
website.
I would expect that the analog outputs of most high end VGA cards would

give better results than the DVI interface to many LCD displays.
