I gotta confess, as an IT guy I have never ever seen displayport in my life. Not a port, nor a cable. Which is especially weird given that I have 6 displays hooked up that technically use it without a single actual port.
Yeah, MP Trios and glance which are type c only, latter also having hdmi. Though last time I dealt with desktop equipment I think was within 5 years but the pieces were probably more than 5 years old, think those were xiaomi a1’s and some random chineese FHD panels, with either 1650 or 1050 cards when we’ve built some budget workstations. I swear I didn’t try to avoid DP, just got lucky to deal with last pieces of equipment without it, and working remote on laptops got me severely out of touch with modern hardware.
Yeah. It’s a video interface but I have never seen the physical port, as I’ve said I have 6 monitors hooked using it’s signalling protocol, but all the physical connections are either type-c(DP alt mode) or eDP.
I don’t think you should have been downvoted, but what is it you do? Remote monitoring? We deployed hundreds of monitors last summer and I swear I almost memorized the goddamn DisplayPort pinout.

Have you bought a single monitor in the past 5 years or so? Mine all have hdmi and DP.

Most GPUs and monitors made in last 5 years have at least one.
Are you sure you know what displayport is?
Yeah. It’s a video interface but I have never seen the physical port, as I’ve said I have 6 monitors hooked using it’s signalling protocol, but all the physical connections are either type-c(DP alt mode) or eDP.
This is statistically impossible, unless “IT guy” just means “computer nerd” rather than someone who works in an IT role.

Have you never seen a discrete GPU as an IT guy? A monitor? I kind of doubt you’re in IT if not.
