Another thing is that HDMI ports require royalty payments while DP do not, so making GPUs with more HDMI would make them potentially more expensive for very little benefit.
I'm not sure if advertised Linux support and Linux's less than stellar HDCP support effects HDMI royalty pricing. Either way, we're talking about four cents versus five cents pricing difference that's passed onto the customer. 1 measly penny.
Now that we understand the term HDMI Adopter, let’s review the fees associated with being an Adopter, namely annual fees and royalty fees. There are 2 annual fee structures:- High-volume (more than 10,000 units) HDMI Adopter Agreement - $10k/year.
- Low-volume (10,000 units or less) HDMI Adopter Agreement - $5k/year + flat $1/unit administration fee.
The royalty fee structure is the same for all volumes. The following variable per-unit royalty is device-based and not dependent on number of ports, chips or connectors:- US$0.15 for each end-user licensed product.
- US$0.05 – If the HDMI logo is used on the product and promotional material, the per-unit fee drops from US$0.15 to US$0.05. Use of HDMI logo requires compliance testing.
- US$0.04 – If HDCP is implemented and HDMI logo is used, the per-unit fee drops further from US$0.05 to US$0.04.

Exactly what I wanted from a good dapter.
Thank you very much!
The only thing missing as I see now it will be Freesync -> VRR on the TV.
I double the adapter would be capable of doing also that.

Not only that, but I guess you can even make a filter or something to clean the internet a bit of ads or to block privacy invading features like voice recording and uploading home.
I know that unfortunately HDMI requires royalties compared to DP, but I'm the one who is paying a lot of money for a high-end GPU
Why should I be forced in that case to pay again some extra money for an DP-> HDMI adapter that solves the problem of connecting to my TV only partially ?
Last time I checked there is no DP->HDMI 2.1 adapter available and all lose bandwidth or functionality because of that.
The reason for the DP to HDMI converter is because Intel has to come up with their own HDMI implementation on their GPUs before they can ditch it. This will be done on their low-end products, where DP is not needed, before it ever comes to the higher-end ones.

There are DP to HDMI 2.1 adapters like this one.
