Although the overall number of products is still far lower than DVI and HDMI, the development momentum of DisplayPort is unstoppable.

LVDS and VGA were abandoned in the group. AMD began to cancel native support for LVDS and VGA in 2013 and completed it completely in 2015 (including DVI-I). According to the latest data, the two companies control 80% of the world's GPU graphics card market.
