Even so, some adapters may have other issues, such as EDID not working properly, or not working right when a computer goes to sleep, etc. Another thing to consider is if the adapter is compatible with HDCP.
HDMI and DVI share the same "language", while DisplayPort is different. However, Dual-Mode DisplayPort will be backwards compatible with the lower resolutions of HDMI and DVI, which results in no loss. See here. I use an AMD FirePro GPU that has four DP outputs which I use active adapters to output DVI. While I do not output high resolution that would require dual-link DVI, I do output a high frame rate. Over the course of two years, I have had to replace three adapters, but the first couple may have been part of a bad batch. I now use Accell adapters.
