Never heard of this but appears my motherboard user manual suggests connecting display port from motherboard to graphics card? Why? Never heard of this before.

That particular motherboard model is apparently designed to passthrough a DisplayPort video signal to USB-C.

By following the instructions on this manual page, you can use just one USB-C cable for both video and USB data from the PC to the monitor rather than two cables.

"IF" your monitor uses USB-C for its video input, you can get the video signal there by connecting that cable. That is not a common scenario - yet. I can see it being use to display on a projector or perhaps to multiple monitors in a sports bar to stream games.

If you have a standard computer monitor, you don't need this.

Sooo video information goes brrr from the gpu THROUGH the dp cable into the motherboard AND then out from the motherboard's usb-c into the monitor?
Anyway sounds like something I wont be using.
