  • 4096x2160@60Hz/30-bit?

    I suspect the answer is no, but:

    Does anyone know if any Intel integrated graphics can drive a DisplayPort 1.2 single stream (SST) monitor at 4096 x 2160, 60 Hz, 10 bits/channel (30-bit colour)? I'm asking as I have a 30-bit monitor of that res. on its way (LG 31MU97Z).

    What I have found so far:
    • DisplayPort 1.2 supports CVT-R so I'm calculating data below based on those timings, and VESA's downloadable timing calculator spreadsheet.
    • The limiting factor seems to be CDCLK (pixel clock) of the GPU
      • Haswell is either 540 MHz (can do UHD @ 60 Hz/24-bit) or 450 MHz (maxes out at ~ 50 Hz) depending on TDP
      • Broadwell supports 4096 x 2304 @ 60 Hz from Intel's docs so they seem to have bumped the CDCLK to somewhere past the 605 MHz needed for that res/refresh, but I can't find out what the actual CDCLK is.
      • I can't find anything on Skylake.
    • Using VESA's timings calculator, it looks like 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz/30-bit colour would need a pixel clock somewhere north of 710-715 MHz (fudging the value since there's no bit depth parameter)??? Or is the required pixel clock independent of bit depth?


    Anyone with way more knowledge on this than me who can weigh in?
