Dell 32' 1440P Monitor : 144Hz vs 165Hz (HDMI vs. DisplayPort)

[LJ57]

I got my first gaming monitor the other day, a Dell 32' 1440P that runs at 165Hz with HDMi and 165Hz with DisplayPort.

I am using HDMI right now, but I can run USB-C to DisplayPort on my laptop.

Is it really worth it to get a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to get that extra 21Hz when playing games?

I don't have this monitor but even though it can accept a 165hz signal. It likely can't actually output that many frames. Some say to set refresh at 120hz. This is a multiple for all video and game refresh rates. Everything will be a bit smoother.
