If there is a difference is it significant enough to choose one over the other? help plz
Depends on what you mean - HDMI is much more limited that DP (HDMI maxes out at 1920x1200, DP goes far beyond that), however, HDMI support for stuff like Audio is much more common. Personally, I much prefer the DP connector. Another thing worth noting is if you have multiple sources, HDMI switches are cheap as chips, while I haven't even seen DP ones.
A lot of the AMD cards used to require at least one monitor be attached with DisplayPort for Eyefinity - don't know if that's still a thing.
Really, just buy whatever fits your setup. I use a mixture of HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort for my setup. Does the job.
