![]() So this is the first time ever that I use DP on my card, (DVI in the past) and am wondering if they are the same. I assume they are but maybe one has priority or more efficient access to the chip. Probably not but I am trowing this out there ![]() |

![]() Not the same, DisplayPort can move a ton more data. If you were in the 3440x1440 or 4k+ range DP is the way to go.

![]() Sure, but my card has 2 DP ports and 2 HDMI. I used DP, but wondered if both ports are the same. |

![]() They're all the same, essentially. Obviously you can have situations where one port physically goes bad or something, but assuming they're all working it doesn't matter which one you use. |

![]() Which video port to use doesn't matter, however, I recommended using DP. Be sure your DP cable is certified, though.
