Wow, I think Aorus FO32U2P finally checked the last box I have been waiting for the last couple of years with the dp2.1 support.

It sucks buying pc monitors. By far the hardest component for a build to pick. At least in my opinion. Oleds are so beautiful and I got the acer preditor. $800 for a monitor is hard the justify, especially since the tech is constantly improving. I'm happy with the screen but every time I think about the price I get a little buyers remorse.

Personally I can justify spending a ton on the monitor. If you are going to spend 5 years looking at a computer output it mind as well look nice. No point in building a 2k dollar PC and then staring at a 90 dollar 23 inch tn 1080p panel with terrible colors, accuracy, and low brightness.

But most importantly, this is UHBR20, 80 Gb/sec. There is going to be a lot of UHBR10 40 Gb/sec DP2.1 this year.
Also, you should read the other Tom's article about DP2.1 cables:

Now you just have to wait for a video card that supports UHBR20! (I'm sure they're coming I just hate what a mess the DP2.1 spec is)

Don't the AMD 7900 XT and 7900 XTX series cards support DP 2.1 UHBR?

They support 13.5, but I believe their professional cards do support 20 and may be the only cards that do period.

As far as I am aware, the cards support any of the DP 2.1 specs and it's the cable that determines the data rates available from the cards? I am not sure. This is not an area I am an expert in.

Definitely not how it works unfortunately as that would be convenient. It takes support from every side: display engine, cable and then the screen itself. The display engine has to be capable of driving the full bandwidth and AMD's is capped at 54Gbps (13.5) and Intel is 40Gbps (10).

HDMI side is really no better spec wise, I believe every video card supports the full 48Gbps, but not all displays do. LG on one of their more recent televisions dropped to something like 40Gbps.

No, actually all the consumer Radeon RX 7000 series support DisplayPort 2.1 via UHBR 13.5 data rate implementation, thus giving maximum display bandwidth of 52.2Gbps.

But AMD's latest PRO series/proviz cards like the Radeon Pro W7900 and W7800 support the standard’s highest data rate: UHBR 20.
