AMD Fiji XT Pictured Some More
In the latest picture leaked of AMD's upcoming flagship graphics card, codenamed "Fiji-XT," we get a final confirmation of the reference-design card's length, particularly its short PCB. Since this card uses a factory-fitted AIO liquid cooling solution, and since the Fiji XT package is effectively smaller than that of Hawaii, with the surrounding memory chips gone (moved to the GPU package as HBM stacks), the PCB is extremely compact, with just the GPU package, and its VRM. Speaking of which, the card draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors. The coolant tubes stick out from the rear of the card, making their way to a 120 x 120 mm radiator, with a single included 120 mm PWM fan. With this card, AMD is doing away with DVI altogether. Connectors will be a mixture of DisplayPort 1.2a and HDMI 2.0.

In short; Display Port is life , Display Port is Love.
DP is also not a gimmick. It works, its not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. It has a smaller plug footprint (MEH) and see the post above.
Now, you are talking about how much it costs to run these high res monitors and such and trying to parlay that into support for your point of those technologies being gimmicks, but, it doesn't work that way. Is there a NEED for it at lower resolutions, no, there isn't. But to say it is a gimmick, like there isn't a need or some positives for using it, I feel you chose the wrong descriptor (or perhaps I am taking it too literally).
DisplayPort supports 8k@30fps, FreeSync, Daisy chaining , MST Hubs, DVI/HDMI Active Adapters and has smaller cables and everything
DisplayPort is the computer standard, HDMI is the entertainment standard
i surly hope the DP on the new fuji card is DP 1.3, that would be sweet
A DVI port/cable is essentially (but not literally) a VGA and HDMI port/cable in one, once AMD dropped the VGA support with the 290X it was basically just a massive HDMI port so was wasting space, people may be sad to see it go but it first appeared on cards in the 20th century, this is 2015, let it go.
