So as the question states, my gaming laptop has an HDMI video out (also a USB-C out, but I assume it is not connected to the nVidia graphics card), and I need to connect it to my monitor, which has VGA, DVI-D and DisplayPort inputs.

So I'm in need of some kind of an adapter. Which should I buy? HDMI->DVI-D, HDMI->VGA or HDMI->DPort?

Is there a video performance benefit to any of them over the others? I plan to run high end games at 1080p and expect 60fps when possible.

DisplayPort would be the best option, since it will carry both video and audio while exceeding HDMI's specs. Adapters are a little pricey due to lack of demand/popularity.

DVI-D is an acceptable option, but won't transport audio. HDMI-to-DVI-D adapters are fairly widely available and not very expensive.

Don't use VGA or DVI-A. Conversion of the digital signal to analog will introduce delay, and the adapter won't be cheap.
