Default DVI v DisplayPort

I have a monitor connected to my PC using DVI ports on both. But the

For modest monitors, the three digital standards are
essentially all the same. If your DVI is working right now,
there'd be little point switching to DP as an experiment.

I think DP has the edge on highest res at the moment.
Maybe if you bought a brand new 8K monitor, you'd need
a new video card with the latest DP standard, to drive it.
A dual link DVI only goes up to 2560 x ? . That's an incentive
to change standards, when you're a rich guy and can afford
an 8K monitor.
