New testing shows DisplayPort 2.1 is very picky about the monitor cable you're using
New testing indicates that DisplayPort 2.1 connections are highly dependent on the specific cable used, with many setups failing to achieve full bandwidth without a certified DP80 cable. This can force the use of Display Stream Compression (DSC), potentially impacting visual fidelity and refresh rates. GPUs from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel support DisplayPort 2.1, but the cable choice is crucial for unlocking its full capabilities.
