HDMI forum rejects AMD's open source 4K@120Hz and 5K@240Hz HDMI driver
Damn now I have to boycott an entire video connector.

TypicalHog, Fuck HDMI!
iAmTheTot, 4k @ 120, but 5k @ 240? How does that work?
Atemu, They probably confused it; 4k 240 and 5k 120 are about the same balpark according to handy dandy chart.
muntedcrocodile, Why?
mp3, DisplayPort is superior anyway.
9tr6gyp3, All my homies use DisplayPort
jackalope, Why?
I’ve never understood the difference other than I get the vague sense display port is associated with apple.
PeterPoopshit, The only disadvantage of display port that I can think of is that it’s harder to find capture devices (or at least Linux compatible ones) that have display port. Generally no one cares about that stuff though. I use capture cards because I sometimes do stuff involving other computers and it’s 1000 times more convenient to have a vlc window floating around with the display output.
No one seems to have this use case besides me, I’m just glad that there exist capture cards fast enough to do playback in real-time and not a 5 second delay. I don’t stream.
WolfLink, DisplayPort is designed to give your GPU a fast connection to your display. HDMI is designed to give the copyright holder of the video you are watching a DRM protected connection to your display to make piracy harder.
This is why DisplayPort is better for the consumer but HDMI is more popular because the device manufacturers are really in charge of what you get.
Neato, If TVs would have it that would be nice. I use a PC attached to my TV and don’t have the option.
