[WYP]

Samsung are going to release two 144Hz 3440x1440 monitors in 2016, pushing beyond the limitations of DisplayPort 1.2 and offering a high refresh rates at a higher resolution than ever before.

Beeper blacks? Awesome! =00=

Wheres my 120hz 4k

 

[Dawelio]

Ohh yes!... I assume from your article WYP that an 980Ti doesn't support DP 1.3 and therefore won't be fully compatible with this monitor?...

Yeah, DP 1.3 will be on next gen stuff. AMD has confirmed that they will have it, but Nvidia have never really been behind with this kind of stuff. I assume pascal will have it.

DP 1.3 will even allow 4K at 120Hz.

Or 5k at 60hz
That's not for HDR content though. It's lower than SDR

 

[Kushiro]

nVidia didnt even want to adopt 1.2a. Would seem a bit bonkers if they didnt adopt 1.3 and then just lock out adaptive-sync

WYP - Any indication as to Freesync or GSync? I'd guess not at this stage or they'd have made mention of it already.

 

[Kushiro]

It seems rather unlikely that it wouldnt support freesync though.

^ this + 1.

 

[jimma47]

Yeah hope so at least for Freesync as it's part of the DP standard I think.

Just wondering if the panels need to have that optioned specifically to take advantage of it or whether they'd just natively work at whatever frame rate the GPU was outputting.

There is no confirmation yet, but Samsung has been a big backer of FreeSync, with a lot of their recent monitors supporting it.

G-Sync is very unlikely on this specific panel, but you can be sure that G-Sync 144Hz 3440x1440 monitors are coming if Nvidia adopt DP 1.3 on their new GPUs.

Its really an optional addition to the monitors. Just doesnt incur a licencing fee like nVidia

Well they are kinda forced to update it if they want to support 4k at 120hz or 5k content. Otherwise sure it'll be awesome for 4k 60hz with no HDR content(which is a big thing this year)

 

[Kushiro]

Never know really. Could surprise everyone with a nViport nVidias latest and greatest INVENTION.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they pulled something like that...

Not spelling it "nVention" here just seems like a real missed opportunity...
