Got a new OcUK PC arriving next week and has the Asus Strix OC 1080Ti installed. Its been many years since I had a new PC. I’ve plenty of spare HDMI cables to hook it up to my Dell U2715H 1440p monitor. Is there any benefit to using DP over HDMI as card and monitor support both but I dont have a DP cable?

HDMI or DisplayPort on a 1080Ti?

But HDMI can do 4K / 2160p? Or is that specific issue with 1440p as a monitor resolution rather than TV?
Yep, get a DP (The monitor isn't HDMI 2.0, your Graphics Card is)
HDMI 2.0 can do 4K of which your monitor is not (possibly 1.4 though). If you do a bit of googling around you will quickly see that people struggle to get 1440p (on the 2515 and 2715's) without creating daft profiles like 50Hz for HDMI to work at 1440p. Honestly for the price of a DP cable just make your life easy.
Actually I just remembered my work laptop has a 1440p res screen so hooked it up via HDMI to the U2715H and it runs windows at 2560x1440 fine. I assume that would mean it was supported via HDMI in everything e.g. games.
I even found a similar question on another forum and that listed the user manual which also stated max res supported via HDMI on this monitor was 1080p. Go figure.
