Ok but Vega is still standard for servers, because you don’t have to use proprietary bullshit like HDMI.
Why? Nobody needs high definition from a server. Vega is literally unbreakable, super reliable and cost efficient. Display port would be a absolute waste just like HDMI. Same with most hardware applications that don’t need high definition displays. The server ports are literally only used to set up the server.
This isn’t just a royalties issue, its a issue of necessity.
IDK man, it would be great if my crash cart or KVM only needed one cable. I can’t wait for USB-C on servers to be everywhere
Everything in the world is hdmi or DisplayPort. VGA is essentially now a specialty connector used only in data centers.
HDMI has their fees, but DisplayPort doesn’t. Plus at this point implementing analog to digital converters is probably more expensive than just putting DP on it.
