Which cable can give better performance for my laptop: USB C to DP cable or Mini DP to DP cable?

I have a Dell G7 15 7590 with an RTX 2060 and recently bought an Acer Nitro XV272U F3 (2560×1440, 300Hz) monitor.

I'm confused about which connection would give me the best possible display output:

  1. USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 to DisplayPort
  2. Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort

My laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 (USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C) and a miniDP port but I can't tell whether the laptop's Mini DisplayPort is DP 1.2 or DP 1.4.

Since my monitor supports 2560×1440 @ 300Hz and DisplayPort 1.4, I want to know which connection is capable of getting the maximum possible resolution/refresh rate/color depth from my RTX 2060? Thank you
