    Phoronix: AMD Posts Linux Patches In Preparing For DisplayPort 2.0 Radeon GPU Support

    The latest feature display work to happen for the AMDGPU kernel driver since the debut of FreeSync HDMI in Linux 5.13 is around DisplayPort 2.0 support and specifically the SST UHBR10 handling...

    And good luck finding a lot of watchable material at 4K @ 144Hz, unless it's all about games.

      typo or brand name?

        5k Ultrawides (5120x2160) with 10 or 12bit color are a thing sooner or later + 60fps.

        That´s 5120×2160×30×60 of Bits/second required ( 19906560000 ) that´s 18,5GBit/sec

          Got to have the hardware to support such content before you can even create that content. Inexpensive hardware because it's not just the studios and professional content creators that need it. You also need to solve the Last Mile Problem in countries that have it (including the US), and get such client hardware in the hands of the average content consumer. Sure, it's about games, but it's also about VR/AR & video. Video might not make it... there's the problem of high resolution/high refresh video being too real which apparently tends to disorient.

            There are monitors like the Samsung Odyssey (Neo) G9, which rely on DSC (Display Stream Compression) to achieve 10-bit 5120x1440@240Hz. The Neo version has HDMI 2.1, which has more bandwidth than DisplayPort 1.4 -- so it does 144Hz uncompressed with that whereas you can only do 120Hz uncompressed with DisplayPort.

            There are reports of some weird flickering issues with some very specific images/videos when running at 240Hz. People talk about it possibly being a firmware issue, but I think they might just be pathological inputs for DSC.

            What I'm really looking forward to is USB4, because then we'll have docks that can handle DisplayPort 2.0, usb, ethernet, and more power delivery -- all of which would be great with KVM capabilities of a monitor or separate.

              Obviously, there's barely any 4k@60 movies... This is about driving high resolution computer screens at higher refresh rates.

                Hopefully it works better than HDMI on Polaris

                  I'm waiting for UHBR 13.5 and UHBR 20 plus MST modes to get new hardware. I don't like this current lagging, plus G-Sync vs FreeSync wars.

                  HDMI? That anti-Linux interface? No, thanks.

                  When will newer modes be supported in Linux? What about latest HDMI and their draconian licensing?
