Ready for 8K@60Hz and 4K@144Hz
This DisplayPort 2.1 cable delivers 40Gbps bandwidth with VESA certification. It supports 8K@60Hz with DSC, 4K@144Hz, 2K@240Hz and 1080P@360Hz. Audio pass-through handles 7.1, 5.1 and 2.0 channels. The 3.3 ft nylon-braided cable works with DP, DP++ and DisplayPort++ ports on graphics cards and monitors.
Check your ports and resolution needs
Verify both your graphics card and monitor have DisplayPort connectors. Confirm your GPU and display support the target resolution and refresh rate you want. The cable is backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0. Do not use an extension cord with this cable.
Replaces older DisplayPort 1.2 or 1.4 cables
The jump is worth it when you need 40Gbps bandwidth for 8K@60Hz or 4K@144Hz gaming. Older cables limited to lower bandwidth cannot drive these modes. If your current setup runs 4K@60Hz or 1440p@144Hz without issue, the upgrade brings no visible benefit.
