How do I check my DisplayPort version?

How do I tell my version of DisplayPort? Unfortunately there’s no way to tell from the hardware itself what version of DisplayPort it will support. Check the original specifications of your device, or contact the manufacturer.

Is DP 1.1 or 1.2 better?

DisplayPort 1-1.1a is able to output 144Hz at 1080p, while 1.2-1.2a can output 1440p at 144Hz, 1.3 outputs up to 120Hz at 4K, and 1.4 can output 144Hz at 4K using Display Stream Compression (DSC). The main advantage of DisplayPort is the ability to output to multiple displays through Multi-Stream Transport (MST).

Is DP 1.2 and 1.4 the same?

DisplayPort 1.2 offers a maximum total bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps over its four lanes, and a maximum total data rate of 17.28 Gbps. In comparison, DisplayPort 1.4 has the same four-lane structure, but expands the maximum total bandwidth to 32.40 Gbps, and maximum total data rate to 25.92 Gbps.

Can DisplayPort 1.2 do 144Hz 1440p?

For 144Hz at 1440p, you will need at least HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2 while for 4K 144Hz you are going to need HDMI 2.1 or alternatively, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC 1.2.

What DisplayPort 1.4 support?

The new DP 1.4 specification will support 5120×2880 @60Hz with high dynamic range, and up to 8K (7680×4320)@60Hz with use of 4-2-0 pixel structure in both high dynamic range and standard modes. DisplayPort 1.4 also enables the simultaneous use of two 4K UHD monitors, each with a pixel resolution of up to 3840 x 2160.

Do DisplayPort cables have versions?

To date, there are four Alternate Modes: DisplayPort, Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), Thunderbolt and HDMI. The latest version, DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0, can transmit uncompressed 8K (7680 × 4320) video at 60 Hz or 16K (15360 x 8640) 60 Hz when using Display Stream Compression (DSC).

Can DP 1.2 do 165hz?

DP 1.2 can handle 1440p up to 165hz and 4k up to 75hz. HDMI 2.0 can support 4K at 60Hz, “Full HD” as you referred to is 1080p.

Does DP 1.2 support 165Hz?

Displayport 1.2/1.2a supports 17.28 Gbit/s (Data Rate), and 1440p 165Hz requires 16.3Gbit/s. It’s enough to achieve 170Hz. However, it will not support 170Hz with HDR on, or even 165Hz. You can achieve 144 Hz with slightly higher timings with HDR on using 1.2.

Can DisplayPort 1.2 run 165hz?

Does DP 1.2 support HDR?

DisplayPort 1.2 does not support the hardware implementation of HDR 10.
