Determining EMULATED DVI from TRUE DVI

[xMax]

so is there a way of knowing, through technical information or perhaps through visual inspection of the card, wether it is true or emulated DVI? because i just need a basic but true DVI card.

Where did you see Emulated DVI? If it has a DVI connector, it's DVI. Are you talking about DVI-D and DVI-I?

whats the difference between DVI-D and DVI-I??

 

[CalvinHobbes]

One is digital only and one is digital and analog.

DVI-I is both, DVD-D is only digital.

 

[PremiumG]

so DVI-I sends both digital and analog signals?

whats the point?

You can use a DVI-I port to drive a LCD or a CRT (with a DVI-I to VGA adapter) with the same connector. It saves space and reduces costs.

Here I found another article. Wikipedia definition of "DVI". This should give you some info.
