I am after a new Graphics Cards for my dad's PC the two I'm deciding on are  the :

ATI READEON HD 5570 -PCI-E  Graphics Card - 1GB

    Processor manufacturer : ATI
    Internal interface : PCIe
    Memory : 1 to 1.5 GB
    Core clock speed : 500 to 700 MHz
    Bus width : 128-bit to 255-bit
    Video output : D-Sub
    Cooling : Fan
    Memory type : GDDR3

And:

NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 PCI-E Graphics Card - 1GB

    Processor manufacturer : NVIDIA
    Internal interface : PCIe
    Memory : 1 to 1.5 GB
    Core clock speed : 500 to 700 MHz
    Bus width : 128-bit to 255-bit
    Video output : VGA
    Cooling : Fan
    Memory type : GDDR3

As you can see they are pretty much the same but 1 has D-Sub Video Output and the other VGA, I also would like to know what is the difference between D-Sub and VGA?

You'll get better performance from the NVidia card.

Also, D-Sub and VGA are two different words for the same thing.
