PeterPoopshitHDMI forum rejects AMD's open source 4K@120Hz and 5K@240Hz HDMI driver
m-p{3}DisplayPort is superior anyway.
Why?
I’ve never understood the difference other than I get the vague sense display port is associated with apple.
NevromeMe neither. I play at 1440p/120hz. Both cables can manage that resolution and frame rate.
The only difference I get is when I use DisplayPort and leave my computer alone for 20 mins, the GPU goes to sleep and the monitor won’t display anything although I hear background apps/games running.
Without changing any settings, using a HDMI cable solved that.
HDMI it is.
Uninvited GuestIn a multi monitor set up, when a screen connected to display port goes to sleep my computer treats it like that screen was disconnected - meaning all my open applications get shoved from one screen to another. I’ve also used HDMI to avoid that.
KlaymoreOn the other hand, when I turn off my second monitor (on HDMI), all my apps stay on that screen, meaning I have to manually move them over to my main monitor where I can actually see them.
And if my DisplayPort monitor is off and everything’s on my second monitor, when I turn the main one back on all the windows go back to where they used to be (al least on Plasma Wayland).
That’s interesting, though not my experience. If a monitor is turned off then the PC picks up that it has disconnected.
The scenario I described occurs when the OS (Windows) sleeps the screen after inactivity. It could be a function of the laptop, of the monitor, or of the cables. In my set up using HDMI over display port solves it.
