Display port versions

[Chrislandry238]

So wierd question, I have an Asus pg278q 144hz monitor for 1440p display and had it hooked up to  1080 ti, I have upgraded to a 3080 ti now, will the port on the.monitor being display port ver 1.2 vs the GPU being 1.4 matter at all in gaming ?

It won't affect anything, because 1.4 has a higher maximum bandwidth than 1.2, so it shouldn't be any problems at all.

1.4 cables are backwards compatible with 1.2 devices.

Fun fact, DisplayPort has no cable versions, all cables will work with any version of DisplayPort.

Either way it should work.

It's just a cable, I don't need to be told that there is no cable version.

Of course it will. I think you might have misinterpreted the point of my comment, I just thought it was an interesting fact.

So the monitor having a lower display port version want interfere with performance ? 

[Chrislandry238]

Also are display ports firewater updateable or are they hardware related 

[Chrislandry238]

Sorry spell check firmware updateable or have to be hardware upgraded

I'm confused so even tho the port on my monitor is only 1.2 but the output from my GPU is 1.4 won't effect performance viewing on the monitor

Yeah it's not gonna have any problems, that's the bottom line.
