I have ordered a Crossover 4K monitor from Korea and it will have two 1.2 Display Ports. What would be the benefit of having two DP 1.2 ports? ( I have only one video card)
 
Here is the item I ordered:

I am surprised that you are forgoing 120hz for 4k, 60 Hz.
 
 

Yes, I had to think about it but wanted to see the 4K tech in person myself. The refresh rate of the monitor should be fine for most all games.

I typically do that at Best Buy aka the Amazon showroom. 
 
 
...I did truthfully spend some time in their comfy couch watching some 4k footage of the Monaco GP. Pretty sweet. 

Well I am still waiting for the monitor to ship and want to see for myself.
 
Still any special reason for two DP ports?

By having dual display port 1.2 to achieve 4k res at 60hz it means it is using MST(MULTI-STREAM TRANSPORT) instead of the usual SST(SINGLE-STREAM TRANSPORT).
 
What that means is that instead of your computer just detecting a single monitor, it is detecting TWO monitors. MST monitors are essentially like 2 LCD panels combined together to achieve 4k resolution.
 
Most 4k monitors use MST instead of SST.
 
The thing about MST is that it has drawbacks, some games doesn't recognize your monitor which means the image would only be displayed on the other half of the screen. Also since it is essentially like 2 LCD panels some programs if you maximize would only occupy half of the screen. MST also has inherent high input lag and response time even on IGZO panels.
 
AFAIK, there is very few 4k or higher monitor that utilize SST. One of them is the Apple's 5k Imac retina as it is using its own timing controller to achieve 5k SST over a single cable. Also I heard samsung 4k TN monitors are using 4k SST.
