another way of perusing the graphic cards is by their direct x classification

newegg lists cards of a certain directx revision together

directx 9
DirectX 9 (DX9) was first released on December 19, 2002, with later significant updates like DX9.0c introducing Shader Model 3.0 in July 2004, becoming the standard for many Windows systems, including Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later.  https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007709+600007813&srsltid=AfmBOoroAwKyFb9rHKbf5MlwMFdpvjSWBMY1xzVDLWOOK0FAeCFuitWh

directx 10
DirectX 10 was officially released on November 30, 2006, as part of the launch of the Windows Vista operating system,

directx 12
released alongside windows 10 in July 2015
The latest version of DirectX is DirectX 12 Ultimate DirectX 12 is a graphics API supported by a wide range of modern GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30 series, RTX 20 series, and some GTX 16 series cards, along with AMD Radeon RX 6000, RX 5000, and RX 500 series, and Intel Arc series GPUs, all support DirectX 12. DirectX 12 Ultimate, the latest version, requires specific hardware support, including features like ray tracing and mesh shaders, and is available on NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30 series, AMD's RDNA 2 architecture GPUs, and Intel Arc GPUs.

A Mini HDMI (Type C) is a smaller version of the standard HDMI port, designed for portable devices like cameras, camcorders, and some tablets, allowing them to connect to larger displays (TVs, monitors) while delivering the same high-definition audio and video quality, often requiring a special cable or adapter to fit the standard Type A port.

Examples of Cards with Mini-HDMI:
NVIDIA GeForce: GTX 460, GTX 560 Ti, GTX 570, GTX 580, GT 640, GT 730, GTX 780 Ti.
AMD Radeon: Some older Radeon HD 7000 series models.
NVIDIA Quadro: Quadro K1200 (often with Mini DisplayPort too).
Why They Use Mini-HDMI:
Space Saving: Mini-HDMI takes up less physical room on the card's bracket, allowing for larger cooling solutions or additional ports like DVI.
Compact Designs: Common in smaller form-factor PCs (like Mini-ITX) or older generations where port standardization wasn't as unified as today.
