HDMI can only output 1080p @ 60Hz on console (and most consoles games aren't even in native 1080p), while PC can enjoy higher fps, in addition to higher resolutions with DVI or DP (Display Port). For example, I have my 360 hooked up to a Samsung SA23700D, 3D, 120Hz monitor, yet, the picture clarity is still trumped by my PC (which I have running on another of the exact same model). This is all before we even get to the indivdual, PC exclusive traits.

Both (HDMI and dual link DVI) allow for a resolution of 2560x1600 at 60Hz with 48bits color depth.
Now, HDMI 1.4 allows resolutions of 3840x2160 @ 30Hz, and 4096x2160 @ 24Hz. Which puts HDMI over DVI when all is said and done, but those resolutions and clocks aren't really suitable for PC gaming. In the end, HDMI is a superior tech over DVI, since it can achieve pretty much the same as DVI but also outputs 8 channel audio. Both connections allow a resolution of 1920x1200 at 120Hz.
If you really want to go over the specs of HDMI, DVI isn't the asnwer at all. You have to go Displayport. That is, if you want to enjoy the resolution possible with HDMI, but at 60Hz. It has twice the bandwidth that HDMI has. So for PC gaming enthusiasts, this is a given.

If I use HDMI on my PC, I will not get the full 120Hz of my montior, for instance. I don't get it out of my console, either (same monitor). With "daul-link" DVI, those issues are not there. The picture quality won't be different if you're running both (DVI-D and HDMI) @ 60Hz, no, but that wasn't ever in question.

Yeah, could it be that HDMI 1.4 ready monitors aren't out yet? Been a while since I've shoped for a display.
Because HDMI 1.4 has more than enough bandwidth to allow it.
Also, what was in question then? You mentioned " higher resolutions with DVI" , yet DVI and HDMI have the same resolution output...
If all you meant was Hz, then yeah, reffer to my current first paragraph.
