Usually, if nothing is said, it means that it's not relevant. Therefore, if they don't mention HDMI, then it shouldn't cause troubles. But it's not like you can connect two monitors via HDMI with these cards, right?

In any case, I'm happy you're not affected by this mess.

*snip*

There is some models that have 2x HDMI connectors mostly the Asus cards but a few others do also so they could of tested it and ruled it out if they couldn't reproduce crashes on dual HDMI but if it didn't cause problems I think they would of mentioned it's a DP thing only so I presume they never did the tests.

Depends on the GPU model. The Asus TUF models usually have 2x HDMI, for example the RTX 5090 TUF:

*big GPU pic*

Both my PC displays (LG OLED C2 42'' + LG OLED C9 55'') are connected via HDMI 2.1 with my 4090 TUF. Only my VR headset uses a display port.

What can I say. Nvidia referene cards and PCBs come with one HDMI and three Display ports since Ampere. If Asus and others decide to change that on their own designs and go for a simetrical design, then great but, unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't change the reason they didn't test it.

GN tested the configurations posted online that had problems, and given how nitpickers they are with the details, I can only assume that they either tested using only with DP because that's what those users were using or because mixing DP and HDMI caused no problems.

In any case, someone probably had the same doubts and posted it in the comments of the video. You can try to find it and see if GN has replied to it.
