Hello LTT Fam! I'm planning on putting my PC in a rack in a different room pretty much just like Linus does. Links to what I'm planning on getting below. I want it to feel exactly like it does now with a standard setup with everything connected directly into my PC. I don't want to have to compromise on anything so I have some questions:

  1. With the CalDigit Element hub will there be any noticeable latency added for keyboard/mouse? Or will it feel exactly the same as it does directly connected to PC? I've never used Thunderbolt before.

  2. Will GSync and AMD FreeSync work the same using the Optical Displayport cables?

  3. Would GSync and FreeSync work using the USB to Display port adapters plugged into the Element hub?

  4. I have a triple monitor setup. Other than cost, is there a reason to go with using all optical displayport cables running directly to GPU vs using USB to displayport adapters on the CalDigit hub?

  5. Is there anything I'm missing or something else I should consider?
