We have yet to see any commercially available graphics cards announced from NVIDIA that have DP 2.1, even with their RTX 4000 series launched in Autumn 2022. Intel do have their A770 card which can support UHBR10 apparently, although seems to be pending certification and presumably also testing under the latest DP 2.1 standards. On 3 November 2022 AMD announced their new RX 7900 XT and XTX graphics cards which will be the first high end gaming graphics cards to feature the new DP 2.1 connection, including some of the new capabilities. The AMX RX 7900 XT and XTX were announced in Nov 2022 and will feature DP 2.1 with UHBR 13.5 (54Gbps) bandwidth More importantly, Snowkids DisplayPort Cable supports 60Hz 8K video, as well as 144Hz 4K and 165Hz 2K video. It is available in silver and red color and one-meter, two-meter and three-meter length.

This article will take you through the latest generation of DP that you will soon start to hear more about, and that is now, as of 17 October 2022, DisplayPort 2.1. We will refer to this as “DP 2.1” throughout now that this updated version has been announced. The initial DP 2.0 standard for which this article was originally written was published in June 2019, although actual consumer DP 2.0 devices in the monitor and display space have yet to appear. DP 2.1 supersedes the 2.0 generation. The standard “defines the new normative requirement and informative guideline for component and system design” as VESA put it. The new DisplayPort capabilities included in DisplayPort 2.0 / 2.1 have begun the cycle of hardware development that will result in such technology becoming available to consumers in a range of products over the next few years. More discussion on timescales later on. KabelDirekt DP 1.4 is a reasonably priced, well-performing DP cable that comes with VESA certification and great compatibility that allows its use in almost any situation. This cable supports 60Hz 8K video, as well as a refresh rate of up to 240Hz, which makes it an ideal option for any gaming monitor. On top of mandatory requirements, DP 2.1 has introduced optional features that manufacturers may or may not choose to take advantage of, such as VESA’s Panel Replay capability, which improves power efficiency by reducing power consumption when the display is displaying a static image most of the time. This cable is available in red and gray colors and two lengths (2m and 3m). More importantly, it offers great compatibility and supports HDR, 3D, 8-bit, and 10-bit deep color, HBR2, and much more.Just about the same as any of the other 1.4 DisplayPort cables on this list—4K@120Hz and 8K@60Hz really shouldn’t be making you blink an eye at this point. The wires themselves are quite standard. In fact, the minimal price difference between this budget option and our selection for the best DisplayPort 1.4 cable ( VANKY VESA Certified DP Cable) probably suggests that the Capshi VESA Certified DisplayPort 1.4 cable is also the best overall DP cable. You’re also unlikely to experience any visual or audio artefacts due to the gold-plated connection port and the triple layer shielding around the cable itself. Does DisplayPort cable quality matter? VESA refer to these new bandwidth capabilities as “Ultra-High Bit Rate” (UHBR), an advancement on High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) from the current DP 1.4 standard. The DisplayPortmain linkis used for transmission of video and audio and this consists of a number of unidirectional serial data channels which operate concurrently, called“lanes”. A standard DisplayPort connection has 4 lanes, though some applications of DisplayPort implement more, such as theThunderbolt 3interface which implements up to 8 lanes of DisplayPort. Time will tell how DP 2.1 is promoted when it starts to appear on graphics cards, monitors and other devices in the future and we will update this article whenever we get any new useful information.

JSAUX 1.2 DP Cable is an affordable and highly-durable DisplayPort cable that offers decent performance (it supports 60Hz 4K and 165Hz 2K video) and a solid overall value for the price, which ultimately makes it one of the better offerings on the market. HBR3(High Bit Rate 3): 8.10Gbit/s bandwidth per lane (810MHz link symbol rate), introduced in DP1.3, also used for DP 1.4 DisplayPort cable market is full of products that look the same and offer the same level of performance. For that reason, it is pretty hard to distinguish the good from bad products. Nevertheless, quality always finds its way to the customers, and we present to you BENFEI DisplayPort to DisplayPort cord, a cable that offers solid performance, compatibility with 4K (60Hz) and full HD video materials, as well as support for both 5.1 and 7.1 audio. There are numerous ways to transmit the audio-video signal from the source device to your monitor or a TV. One of the most common ones is definitely an HDMI cable; however, there are also some other quality options and one of the most efficient ones is definitely a DisplayPort cable. The following quotes were from earlier in 2022 before the DP 2.1 update was announced on 17 Oct 2022Silkland [VESA Certified DisplayPort Cable, DP Cable 6.6ft [4K@60Hz, 2K@165Hz 144Hz], 1080P 240Hz... The most recent DisplayPort standard is 2.0, which was released in 2019. However, the most common standard is DisplayPort 1.4a, which can be found in many computer monitors these days.

Achieving greater alignment between DisplayPort and USB on a common PHY has been a particularly important effort within VESA given the significant overlap in use case models between the DisplayPort and USB4 ecosystems,” stated Alan Kobayashi, VESA Board Chair and VESA DisplayPort Task Group Chair. “DisplayPort 2.1 brings DisplayPort into convergence with USB4 PHY specifications to ensure the highest video performance across a broad range of consumer products...” The most important aspect for any DisplayPort cable is definitely its compatibility. If, for instance, your brand-new cable doesn’t support 4K 60Hz resolution. and that is what you need for your gaming monitor. that cable is useless for you, no matter how little you paid for it. Whether you use DisplayPort or HDMI, remember that using a certain version of the cable will not automatically upgrade existing devices with older specifications. For example, even if you have an HDMI 2.1 cable, you can’t watch 8K video if your TV only supports the older HDMI 1.4 ports. So, you should make sure that all your equipment supports the cable standard you’ve chosen. So, if you are looking for a cable that can handle lots of bandwidth, make sure to get one of the newest versions of either HDMI or DisplayPort. Audio Support: HMDI Wins All these questions and more will be answered in this article. DisplayPort 2.1 Bandwidth and UHBR ExplainedThis cable comes in four lengths (1m, 2m, 3m and 5m), it is available in gray, red and blue color, and more importantly, offers solid compatibility.

Maybe this won’t be too much of a problem, and maybe manufacturers will kindly list the UHBR speed for any device they promote as DP 2.1. But it does add a layer of complexity and confusion to the new scheme that we think is unnecessary. In our opinion, UHBR should be a baseline requirement. We don’t really mind if that is only the lowest UHBR10, or the higher UHBR13.5 or UHBR20, but one of these new speeds should be required for it to be considered DP 2.1 in our opinion and that speed should be whatever is required to support the resolution and refresh rate promoted without needing any compression measures (excluding DSC) that would impact the visual experience. Getting a DisplayPort cable shouldn’t be a headache. While there can be some nuance for some situations, you are unlikely to not find satisfaction with at least one cable from this list. DisplayPort cables themselves are relatively simple, with the devices they connect with usually being the source of any difficulties. Why trust us

With this cable, you are getting an excellent-quality build that includes 24K gold plated connectors, 28 AWG tinned copper, as well as triple-layer shielding (a combination of nylon braiding and aluminum shell). More importantly, such construction guarantees a stable video and audio signal, delivering exceptional reliability for its price. VESA certified DP40 cables must support up to the UHBR10 link rate (10 Gbps) defined by DisplayPort 2.1, and support the full four-lane operation, providing a maximum throughput of 40 Gbps. Hence the “DP40” name. DP80 Cables – UHBR20 link rate (20 Gbps x4 lanes = 80 Gbps)
