    If you're using a regular VGA monitor, then no, on difference. If you were using an LCD monitor with a DVI connection on a regular, analogue VGA port then you may have a small loss of quality.

    Basically, DVI > VGA, as DVI is digital from end to end. Analogue to digital conversion occurs when using VGA.

    No. It'd be the same as if the card had a VGA port on the back.
