Hello all! Hope that you had a great New Year! What is the difference between a DP cable and a HDMI cable? Does the DP cable give higher fps or is it just support for 4K resolution. (my monitor is 1080p)

My specs are:

GTX 1080TI Asus ROG Strix OC

(monitor) S27D590C

PC Specs: Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk X570  CPU: Ryzen 5900X  CPU Cooler: NZXT 240 mm Kraken Series AIO     GPU: Asus Strix ROG 1080 TI OC Edition    PSU: Corsair RM850 850W   Storage: 2 X 4TB, 2 X 1TB HDD And 1 X 1tb m.2 samsung 980 pro Case:  NZXT H440 2015 Edition

Both are the same, up to their maximum limit (which is different depending on the device). If you want to run at a certain resolution/refresh rate combo that is above the limit of HDMI, then you have to use DisplayPort. If not, then they're both the same.
