The video/display/graphics industry has a new standard out now called DisplayPort. This competes with HDMI, but is backed by VESA. ATI has a group of low end cards out now, [phoronix.com] which hardly seems worth the effort. And if you're a Linux fan there is no support yet for DisplayPort, but open source drivers are allegedly in the pipeline... one of these years.
I am not familiar with any technical advantages of the new standard, nor why anybody would want to switch necessarily. No benchmarks for them yet, either. So I'm fairly mystified as to why ATI would think there is an advantage in there somewhere.
We'll see.

Dang, I haven't gotten my second video card to hook up to my first one yet...
If planned obsolescence goes too quickly, there will be consumer revolt.
