I don't know why you would use both cables, the monitor would normally only allow you to select either the DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) or HDMI, not both. If you plug the HDMI cable into a second monitor, what would you be missing? I use both the DisplayPort and HDMI ports on my Mac mini to drive two monitors, though not at WQHD resolution. Display port should do the job by itself.
