VESA Releases Version 2.1 of DisplayPort

Yes ok NVIDIA still thinks DisplayPort 2.0 isn’t necessary on a $2,000 graphics cardVESA has released the first revision of this second version, this being version 2.1 of DisplayPort, that comes with some changes that we will detail below.

However, it should be noted that the vast majority of DisplayPort 2.0 compatible devices will be compatible with DisplayPort 2.1since the changes that have been made to the specification are not so great that the devices on which it currently works are no longer compatible, so, for example, newer Intel ARCs continue to support the latest version of the standard.

This is because VESA has been working with member companies to ensure this is the case, but this version of the spec is primarily focused on better aligning with the USB Type-C specas well as with the USB4 PHY specification, so that you can work more uniformly between both protocols.

Likewise, DP2.1 will work best over a USB4 interface that other data is being sent over.as would be the case of a dock, so that we have the highest possible video performance, at the same time that our transfers do not suffer problems.
