    Depends on what monitor are you using. Some monitors can output higher resolution or higher refresh rate only through the display port. But if you get HDMI 2.1 it can support 8k 60fps or 4k 120hz. Just make sure that your monitor supports it.

    I have a new LG Oled but need the HDMI 2.1 to get the full HDR 120hz 4k. So just depends on monitor.

    Honestly just go for display port. It'll pretty much always be able to handle higher resolutions compared to HDMI. Plus its less common, so you can use your HDMI ports to hook up a game console or something.

    Display port for 1440p or 4k, usually works better

    Even HDMI 2.1 is more limited than Display Port. Display Port is generally better all around, unless you're on a TV simply because most TV's don't have the option for Display Port.

    Depends on the monitor you use, DP is usually the way to go for monitors for peak refresh rates.

    I'd go DisplayPort if you use a monitor with high refresh rates, they work better at least for me
