Why do graphics card manufacturers insist on having 3 DisplayPort

Shut the fuck up, DP is the standard both in the high end class monitors and in your mom's bedroom when me and my boys roast her.

>>56064325
Lol from the list of high end monitors, I could count the DPshitters with my fingers on one hand. This is the case of "wannabe future techheads" designing shit with no regards to the consumer. They just want to wank on their supermegahyper advanced technology USE OUR TECH NAO

what is the point of triple monitor? Why not just get a larger monitor? Because it's cheaper? oh...ok.

>>56064278
I ordered a new 24' 150€ monitor, it has DisplayPort.
DisplayPort is the future, HDMI is the Composite of the future, DisplayPort is RGB.

AHAHAHA

No cards have VGA passthrough on DVI anymore so it's nice to have DP -> VGA

>>56064731
This is the one thing I like about DP.

>>56064791
Obviously, because you care about VGA and not things like a-sync, must be great living in 2004.

>>56064278
What year do you think this is retard? Almost every monitor these days comes with a DP connector. Especially the medium to high-end ones. ESPECIALLY the high-end ones you fucking dip shit.

>>56064278
What kind of piece of shit generic off-brand OEM PoS display doesn't support DP in the year of the lord MMXVI?

>>56064278
What high end monitors that matter use HDMI only? I'm genuinely curious. DP wins out pretty much every way possible.

>>56064489

Lol, you clearly don't know how many people worldwide still use VGA output monitors.

>>56064960
If they can't afford a new monitor, they can't afford one of these graphics cards. It's really a moot point.

>>56065001
what if lets say you wasted all your money on a good pc but you bought some budget monitor, i can tell you as a guy who did that. some people dont want ULTRA MEGA SUPER HD, as a guy who transitioned from a laptop im still quite happy with my monitor i got for like 60-70 bucks

>>56065001
That's my fucking point. Triple DP interface caters to the very least minor population of gamers, not the most consumer population or near future consumer population.

>>56065017
Sorry no one cares about your toy.

>>56065152
If you get a $400 graphics card, you should be able to squeeze $200 for a HD monitor.

No one cares about poor scrubs with outdated HDMI ports, mate.

>>56065182
what if you are on a budget m8?

>>56065240
Then you won't be buying a $700 VR set nor will you have multiple monitors, so one HDMI is enough.

>>56065240
Then what's the fuckin point of buying a new graphics card if you have a monitor that won't work with it?

HDMI doesn't even support freesync/gsync or 144hz fullhd.
What's the point?

I only have DVI/VGA on all my monitors, which makes all the new GPUs basically only suitable for one monitor

>>56064278
DP adapters are cheap and you only have to buy them once. Cry me a river you little bitch.

>>56065306
How do you manage with your coal-fired automobile when all fueling stations use petrol?

>>56064278
Adapters are like 8 bucks! Stop your whiney bitching and do a little research next time you buy a high end gfx card. It's not hard.

>>56065263
i dont know man maybe not everyone plans to use 425262626 monitors or 144hz fullhd,

DP is great for 3 monitors, or >1080p, or >60Hz, or all of this combined.

Kill DVI already. Do 2 HDMI (for poorfags) + 3 DP.

>>56065336
People, who buy a triple monitor setup do.

If you are poor you should stay away from the high tech and stick with used parts from ebay.

>>56065336
Then why the fuck do you need an enthusiast card?

>>56065339
DVI actually supports everything you mentioned. HDMI doesn't.

HDMI stopped being relevant around 2 years ago.
You either buy a new setup or just admit that you are a poor scrub.

>>56065403
i am poor scrub, and i am happy with my 60hz monitor

>>56065392
Maybe you should future proof your monitor first.

>>56065426
why is the monitor the most important part, if i buy a 500 dollar monitor and try to play it on my AMD Athlon 64 i wont get much of an improvement will i?

>>56065368
DVI can't do more than 2560 × 1600 × 60 Hz.
HDMI can, and DVI is pretty much a subset of HDMI.
In most cards 3 monitors setups are not supported if you don't use at least one DP.

The only thing DVI can still do better is carry analog signals.

>>56065463
>DVI is pretty much a subset of HDMI.
Uhhhh

>>56065392
Future proofing doesn't exist for graphics cards, or computers at all really. Buying a $200-$300 card now and then buying a new one in three years will be a better value than buying a $600 card and keeping it twice as long.

The only thing you should spend more upfront on is your PSU, case, and CPU cooler. CPUs can last quite a while but your motherboard will be outdated faster than the CPU, so unless you have a specific task that requires it there's no reason to get anything but an average i5.

i think the only monitor i have left without dp is a wacom cintiq 12
and my monitors are cheap ass samsungs from like 2013 and they both have dp

also what's this shit about high end monitors not having dp, do you even know how to get 4k at 60hz let alone 120 or 144?
dp is the answer now get out with your ancient dvi crap

>>56065463
Then stop worrying about people with flagship graphics card and 3 monitor setups.

>>56065438
>DVI can't do more than 2560 × 1600 × 60 Hz.
Nigga, I have an Asus running fullhd@144hz with gsync through DVI right now.
It has an HDMI port too, but HDMI doesn't support the 144hz, nor the sync.
Actually I have yet too see an HDMI full feature support for gaming monitors.

>>56065323
got a big ass fullHD monitor 6 years ago
and its gonna last me another 6 years, maybe with a PSU cap replacement along the way.

there is absolutely no reason buying a new monitor unless your literally breaks or you want some gadgety 3D or curved bullshit

>>56065460
Because a Personal Computer is useless without a good monitor. A monitor isn't something you frequently replace.

It's like having a sports car with wagon wheels. Sure it works, but is it really a good idea?

That's besides the point that a DP-enabled monitor doesn't cost $500. Sure, a top of the line one with bells and whistles, but not a standard FHD.

A new monitor also will benefit you by reducing electrical costs. Old monitors (and TVs) are so incredibly inefficient compared to modern panels.

Basically, just because something still works, doesn't mean you should still use it. Give it a proper burial for it's service record.

>>56065530

Yes, and that's lower than 2560 × 1600.

But I don't care about it, I want 3 DisplayPort. Just leave two HDMI for the poorfags, kill the huge DVI, and have more space for exhaust.

You have some reading comprehension issues. Are you using VGA?

OP somehow invented a shitposting machine from the past that shitposts in the future.

could be because 3 hdmi ports means 3 royalty fees. DP masterrace wins again.

Uhh... I use professional UHD displays. If anything, these high end monitors won't support HDMI but always have multiple DP inputs.

I'm for DP over HDMI all day, any day. HDMI just recently started to support 4K but its still not as wide spread and may implementations just use internal DP to HDMI conversion anyway. Lets get rid of the middle man.

Personal preference is for all DP or miniDP and NO hdmi/dvi.

hdmi is fine for HTPC but I still wish the industry would just settle for one standard.

What? Pretty much all mid/high end need displayport as only the latest HDMI revision allows for 4K at 60hz, also a lot of laptops are coming with mDP/Thunderbolt as you can push more than just video output from them, daisy chain them and all sorts.

Yes. Most Linux distros don't work yet on GTX 1080 out of the box (black screen while booting).

It's probably (hopefully?) possible to get one with a GUI up and running by installing on the iGPU and then installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver, but it's too much of a PITA to go through such an ass-backwards procedure for something so incredibly basic as actually having a video output. So yeah, I'm on Windows.

“Removing” DP displays when you turn them off is a Windows anti-feature.

You used to be able to disable it, but they removed the registry key in Windows 7.

>>56067332
Yeah, it's fucking retarded. Some monitors can disable it, but if the monitor doesn't support that, you're stuck with this shitty annoyance. Or you switch to a different connection, like I did.

Three monitors looks much better than two though.

DVI-D dual link can, however

If you get one large monitor then you can just decide freely how you want to layout things

What do you mean? I'm using a tiling window manager, so I usually have no real concept of “fullscreen” for arbitrary programs - the only exception is stuff like videos, and those scale freely.

If you're asking about font sizes, I can quite easily read the top row of this 1:1 without squinting or learning forward - but I still prefer slightly larger fonts (as in my screenshot) for general purpose reading speed

Hopefully that answers your question

>>56067947
probably the monitor and your drivers. AMD and Nvidia limit pixel clock for DVI to 350MHz through drivers, so you'll need to bypass that.

>>56064418
Productivity. I could easily make good use of 3 monitors at work.

That being said, I only use 2 both at home and work mostly because I prefer the extra desk space.

Since this is basically a GPU general, what's the quietest aftermarket RX 480? I'm looking at either the XFX black edition or the Sapphire Nitro, which is quieter?

>>56065517
Hmm I think getting an i7 6700k for example for $310 is a better value than saving 100 bucks for the i5. I still have my i5 2500k and I wish I went with the i7 instead.

>>56064278
DisplayPort is the superior interface. Unfortunately monitor manufacturers haven't taken notice.

>he plugs his monitor in using HDMI

If you're not using display port you're on the wrong side of history. My display port monitor will still be good in 10 years just like VGA monitors. If I want something to go into my TV, fine HDMI.
But if you want bandwidth DP is better, has always been.

Is the fact that HDMI has to carry audio as well as video the reason why HDMI is inferior to displayport when it comes to outputting video?

>>56070956
No, DisplayPort can carry audio as well - and besides, carrying audio is trivial

(5.1 LPCM16 at 48 kHz is just 4.6 Mbps, compare to the many Gbps of the video signal)

>>56070985
I didn't know that. It seems like the only reason why HDMI still exists is because of HDCP

>>56070995
DP supports DRM like HDCP though /g/tards don't like to admit it.

There's also bitstream audio support and HDMI-CEC for HDMI. The real reason why HDMI is around is the fact that it came first and it has several TV manufacturers behind it.

>>56071194
>The real reason why HDMI is around is the fact that it came first and it has several TV manufacturers behind it.
HDMI was intended for TV use, DP for computer use.
