Thinking about it more, there's no down side to DP. Every card manufacturer should spend an extra $2 and ship with a DP -> HDMI adapter and drop HDMI universally. There's no down side. And that $2 will be well worth the licensing fees they don't have to pay, and the software they don't have to write.
- account42 3y agoAn adapter that supports HDMI 2.1 will cost way more than $2 and its price will also need to include the licensing fee so you don't get around that.
- Justsignedup 3y agoEven if it isn't 2.1, the off the shelf adapters will definitely cost, but it is a long-term strategy. If every card supports DP natively and everyone is shipping hdmi 2.0 adapters, monitor manufacturers will be strongly inclined to include a native DP port everywhere, no more HDMI only devices, including potentially TVs. At that point the card manufacturers stop shipping with the dongle.
