"DisplayPort generally offers better support for high refresh rates and adaptive sync technologies, which can help reduce desync issues in gaming. HDMI can also support variable refresh rates, but it may not perform as well in high-end gaming setups compared to DisplayPort."

"DisplayPort generally has lower latency compared to HDMI, especially in gaming scenarios, due to its design for high refresh rates and adaptive sync features."

"DisplayPort generally supports higher refresh rates and resolutions, making it ideal for 4K at 120fps, especially in gaming setups. HDMI 2.1 also supports 4K at 120fps, but compatibility may vary depending on the devices used."

Took a 1 minute search to find that out btw.
