The Mini DP in for supporting the USB-C display port alt mode with a discrete video card has always felt like a pretty clunky solution. That's why I've always felt like that was much more useful on laptops, SFF etc where there is no support for changing a dedicated GPU and you just build that into it. I wonder if they could built Display port signaling into the PCI-E slot using some reserved pins or an extra section of connectors or something like that to make it simple with a dedicated GPU
I think the next high end motherboard review needs to have a feature comparison table. Post time and idle power are impossible to interpret without knowing what is on the board and these high end boards have a lot of things.

That's a LOTTA money for a motherboard without 10Gbe and limited to either 10 coffee lake cores or 8 rocket lake cores.YB1064 - Thursday, May 27, 2021 - link
Yes, I agree. No 10GbE in a premium board = no buy!ballsystemlord - Thursday, May 27, 2021 - link
I also agree. I can't order even 0.5G Ethernet but I defiantly need that 10GbE port!lmcd - Friday, May 28, 2021 - link
Aside from defiantly being unable to spell, the point of 10G Ethernet is connection to a local NAS, among other things.kpb321 - Wednesday, May 26, 2021 - link

You can already do video signaling through PCI-E. That's how laptop GPUs have worked ever since the first iterations of optimus.Jorgp2 - Thursday, June 3, 2021 - link
Pretty sure it's actually built into windows nowadays.damianrobertjones - Thursday, May 27, 2021 - link

All this connectivity and still a shortage of PCI express lanes.GNUminex_l_cowsay - Thursday, May 27, 2021 - link
