I was wondering is there a lot of difference between both DP & DVI. I have a full 12Bit monitor and heard its only way to get the full range of colours. I haven't got a DP enabled GPU but will be soon but I'm just curious

Both Display Port & DVI

Both Display Port & DVI deliver Digital Signal. DVI doesn't carry audio controller while DP does carry audio and video.

DP > DVI

Both are digital interfaces.

Both are digital interfaces. DisplayPort can carry both video and audio. DVI can only carry video.
