I would be unshocked to see a usb-c to displayport pigtail adapter & long DisplayPort cable have degredation. Given that cards are often space limited & sometimes use things like mini displayport to cram more ports in (since the gpu can often drive 5 or 6 displays), having a small usb-c port or 2 seems like a really good alternative, with litte sacrifice, and great potential usability boon. The elrlectrical doesnt seem daunting to me. People hem and haw over how a $5 BOM cost can escallate in real world impact, but it feels like significant over-concern, amd when you are talking about a GPU costing up to $1000, it feels like an obvious way to differentiate & make users happy. The jack wouldnt have to be used for video. Being able to plug a laptop in or a powered hard drive or a battery to charge would be a gratis service. I certainly hope over time we see more usb pd powered monitors come out, but right now I just feel like this ultra high end io monster should also support modern io standards & connections, and adding a stupidly efficient (98%) $2 buck regulator, a $2 control chip to support thr obviously better nice version of the io standard that also does power is not just obvious, but painfully obvious, and it stinks & is a glaring smell that there's literally no options here, for these expensive adapters.
