Who thought that 3 DP were necessary and only 1 HDMI was enough? That's just... Not right.

AristideDThis has been been standard for a while now, DP is becoming priority. I expect it's mainly because G-sync is only compatible with DP. You won't find many, if any, current gen cards with more than 1 HDMI or DVI port.

AristideDB/c DisplayPort is a better interface than HDMI for computers. HDMI is locked at 60Hz Refresh Rate... DisplayPort can support refresh rates 2-3 times that! HDMI is only good for TV hookups to cable boxes, gaming consoles, and so on. Everyone who has a gaming or high-end PC should be using DisplayPort at this point. I mean DisplayPort (DP) has been relevant for the last 5 years or so. Once you get a 144Hz+ monitor which requires DP then you'll realize why the new video cards only have one HDMI port.

AristideDDisplayport is an open standard, HDMI has a licensing fee attached to it.
I really don't know how HDMI became the standard for consoles and tvs and such, when displayport does more and is just overall better.

AristideDI personally wish that graphics cards just had 4 dp ports. Dp is superior to Hdmi.
