DP 2.1 -> 1.4a vs. HDMI 2.1 -> 2.1

Post by rambo » 29 Sep 2025, 12:29

My display has following ports:

MPG 272URX QD-OLED
2x HDMI™ 2.1 (UHD@240Hz)
1x DisplayPort 2.1a (UHBR20)

while my card has:

4080 Super Ventus
DisplayPort x 3 (v1.4a)
HDMI™ x 1 (Supports 4K@120Hz HDR, 8K@60Hz HDR, and Variable Refresh Rate as specified in HDMI™ 2.1a)

Technically, HDMI should have less compression from what I understand but DP connection seems to be optimized for G-SYNC? What would you use for stability + 4K gaming?
