Display Port 2.0 - BRING FORTH all the HZ IN 4K!

[Printimus]

About damn time they came out with a cable standard that will allow for more bandwidth. 77.4 Gbps, to be exact.

Thats some good bandwidth, also good for VR!

I still have a 60hz monitor. I fear I’m well behind the curve.

Well with the new Valve VR headset, this might be a good time to save up.

I was unaware that VR needed a lot of bandwidth or DP cables for that matter.

The current Vive headset run off HDMI and USB, so if Displayport cables become mainstream, that may help future devices.

Right, but the headset doesnt require THAT much data, does it? The screens are barely HD inside the lens headset.

The original is 1920 x 1200 90 hz per eye, i believe. Still has a lot of screen door effect at that resolution so hopefully they can do better with more bandwidth. Personally, I'd like to see a higher resolution and fully wireless.

lol fully wireless you wouldnt need a displayport at all, which is what this whole thread is about! Ok so VR lenses run just barely over full HD at 90 Hz. The screen door effect is caused from being super close to the screen at a low resolution because you can see the individual pixels. Higher resolution may alleviate this.

You would still need a wired connection from you graphics card to the base that the headset is talking to, bluetooth ain't gonna cut it.

i do beleve the new Valve Head set dose require DP to connect and a USB
thats it. no more sensors. with now i feal dumb i should have just wated. i got the old rift and now im think ill upgrade to the new Rift s so i get to take down the sensors. but im kinda torn between rift and valve. i hate the fact that a lot of the game son rift are only for rift.
i did realy enjoy playing lone echo. but i cant see sticking with Rift just for 1 game. how ever there is that new starwarz VR game i kinda wana see that but again Multi head sets is a pain in the ars

You could try Viveport revive for the rift only games. It doesn't have all of them but it may have the ones you want.

Sorry, I meant revive not viveport. You should be able to play lone echo on it that way.
