- DP connector is direct from GPU → Screen.
- DP through USB has to go through the USB bus on the machine → Screen.
Let’s hope that bus is dedicated, and not overloaded with other USB tasks!

It is. That’s always been one of the key features of thunderbolt. There’s no negotiation or latency involved.

Right, the pins just automatically know which to use without any negotiation from the USB bus. Come on.

Just because you don’t know how any of this works, don’t lash out at me in anger.
