Does anyone know what can be done with the USB-C port on the back of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics module for the Framework Laptop 16? Is it for displayport alt like with previous laptops, does it support charging, etc? Do we have any information on whether using that port is better than the displayport expansion module? If I have a monitor with a displayport input, is there a good cable option for use with that port?
- DP Alt mode (I don’t know if they anywhere specify how fast)
- Charging (Power not specified. Most likely 240W)
- USB(2)

Will it work with 1st gen of FW16? If I good remember there were some limitation on PCIE lines which goes to interposer and extension bay. I have not checked documentation just found the thread Simple extra battery for the expansion bay - #114 by Kyle_Reis
Which kind of DP2.1, if I may ask? DP2.1 is such a scam currently, with capabilities ranging from actual DP2.1 (UHBR20) with 80GBPS to DP1.4 w/ DSC (I think like UHBR10 or 13.5).
