10m long DP cable for 144hz 1440p screen

xxx68

Hello, my pc is going to be arround 10m from my screen which is 144hz 1440p gsync used for gaming so i do need displayport cable. From what i have read, basic DP cable would not work and i need active cable. Not a lot of active cables is available in my country but what i found is 15m long DP cable with 17,28 Gb/s   transfer speed. Should it work ? Thanks

If it has been certified by VESA, then yes it should work.

10m?  As in a bit over 33 feet?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

DP 1.2 should be able to output 1440p @ 144hz

Many cables (especially long ones) are advertised as "DP 1.2" but fail when attempting to use them above DP 1.1 speeds. As a result, version numbers or whatever claimed by the manufacturer are worthless without independent certification.

well it says 4k * 60hz, which is ~440k pixels/s, and 2560x1440x120hz is also ~440k, so it should be able to handle 1440p @ 120hz if it works with 4k @ 60hz. 144hz is a littler over the bandwidth of 4k @ 60hz.

It also might not run 4k 60hz either
