The cable between my GFX card to screen is DVI (GFX card port) to HDMI (screen port).
Do I REALLY need to go and buy an overpriced HDMI cable and will the difference most certainly be noticeable?

I guess for breakdown purposes, what is the difference between:

DVI to DVI
DVI to HDMI
HDMI to HDMI
They are both digital connections, so there should be no difference between HDMI and DVI.The only issue is Bandwidth, an HDMI cable doesn't necessarily have as much BW as DVI. However, for any resolution up to 1080p (60Hz), HDMI will give you a perfect picture. HDMI 1.4 supports 120Hz 1080p, and is needed for 3D or faster refresh rates than 60Hz. Most modern monitors should have HDMI 1.4 support.
