Can anyone confirm that 3440x1440 @ 144Hz won't work over DisplayPort 1.2? I did the math and it looks like 3440*1440*24bits*144fps equals roughly 17.1 Gbps whereas DP 1.2 has 17.28 Gbps of useable bandwidth. Is this too close to work?

As a gamer/enthusiast and well as audio production professional, I can say the 21:9 aspect will be a huge improvement on both fronts.

They would need DP 1.3, which no GPU yet supports AFAIK

Dang well hopefully I could drop it to 120Hz and use DP 1.2. I wouldn't use 144Hz anyway since there is no ULMB at that rate. Or if it's IPS might have to do 100Hz with ULMB.

If this display will actually go in to mass production in Q2, how much later do you guys think it will be released (in Europe in my case). Just looking for a educated guess. Would be tough to wait for this one if the XB270HU is available in a couple of months. Even though I like 21:9 a lot.

The perfect monitor doesnt come along that often. If you dont think you can wait a few months more for that, you can go right ahead with the xb270hu and hope that you wont have THAT feeling in the back of your head for the rest of your time with it.



And ye, this is perfectly capable of having just dp1.2... according to bandwidth calculator https://emsai.net/projects/widescreen/bandwidth/

People saying this will have to be dp1.3 only - i would really love to see your EVIDENCE for that claim.
