Hey guys after the recent announcement of the asus 1080p 240hz monitor I also found an AOC equivalent with freesync. http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Monitor-D ... z-1205172/

Regarding display port 1.3 support necessary I think that has to do with the 1440p 240hz and 4k 144hz displays announced for 2017 I cant imagine this 1080p 240hz monitor requires displayport 1.3 at all. Its probably a bit of a misconception or something. If true though that would be quite a shame for 'old' gpu owners.

"AUO will Full-HD-Modelle mit 240 Hertz noch dieses Jahr anbieten, 1440p und 240 Hz sollen ab 2017 verfügbar werden. Ebenso für das kommende Jahr ist ein Ultra-HD-IPS-Panel (AHVA) mit 144 Hertz angesetzt. Für die nötigen Übertragungsraten wird sich Displayport 1.3 kümmern, wobei Asus schon erste entsprechende Prototypen auf Basis der AUO-Technik zur Schau gestellt hat. Noch keine konkrete Daten gibt es zu 5K-Panels, die sich in der Entwicklung befinden sollen."

1080p at 240 Hz fits within DP 1.2 bandwidth. It's identical bandwidth to a 4K @ 60 Hz display.
