I wonder why everyone holds AMDs display port 2.1 in such high regard. Its barely more bandwidth than hdmi 2.1 since its not the full UHBR20 80GBPS

its UHB13.5 at 54GBPS on RDNA 3 vs 48GBPS HDMI 2.1 on ADA GPUs

Because HDMI is a pain in the ass and everybody who is using a PC is expecting to use DisplayPort.

Unless you've ascended to the PC-powered couch gamer. Don't knock it until you try it!

ATMOS surround system

Takes PC gaming to a whole other level. HDMI is nice for eARC (PC direct to display, audio feeds back to the AVR/amp via HDMI). It's a clean, awesome setup. Also lets you run TrueHD 7.1 ATMOS for all those Linux ISOs :)
