amd has presented his new graphics cards based on RDNA 3 with which a new generation of games in higher resolutions has awakened. The news AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX and RX 7900XT are prepared for resolutions larger than the usual 4K, taking a graphics quality experience to a higher level with 8K resolutions. For this they have included the new port for video Display Port 2.1being the first cards to feature him.
To take advantage of these benefits with the DisplayPort 2.1 connector, Samsung will launch a new monitor in its range Odyssey G9 with 8K resolutionwhich will be first to include version 2.1 of this new connector to support higher refresh rates, even at 8K resolution. We can see this Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor in the next CES to be held in January 2023.
Thanks to DisplayPort 2.1, higher resolution can be obtained with higher refresh rates. When DisplayPort 1.4 supports up to 240 Hz at 4K resolution, with the new DisplayPort 2.1 this figure is doubled. Also in 8K resolutions it has gone from 60 Hz of 1.4 at 165Hz with this version 2.1. AMD has shown some graphics using this new DisplayPort 2.1 connector compared to the previous 1.4, with the most recent it has been possible to achieve up to 190 FPS in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 using 8K Ultra Wide resolution, while with DisplayPort 1.4 only can go up to 135 FPS.
It seems that in 2023, at least for the highest range, these higher resolutions like 8K will start moving that we have already seen on TVs, with which thanks to DisplayPort 2.1 we can obtain more fluid images with higher refresh rates.

My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write in Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
