Nvidia's GTX 1080 and 1070 will support HDR and refresh rates of up to 240Hz

[i_build_nanosuits]

Who will be the first to manufacture a 120hz 4K monitor (maybe with Gsync!!)

i would place my bet on Acer...one thing for sure many enthusiasts among the community have been waiting for this for a long time already...

nvidia's GTX 1070 and 1080 would have official support for display port 1.3 and even display port 1.4 !!

one of the most noteworthy changes made with this new generation of GPUs being support for next generation display technology with DisplayPort 1.3 and HDMI 2.0b, offering HDR support and allowing Pascal GPUs to support 1080p and 1440p displays at 240Hz, ultra-wide 1440p displays at 190Hz and 4K displays at up to 120Hz.

Nvidia even stated that their GTX 1080 and 1070 are also DisplayPort 1.4 ready, which is a new DisplayPort standard that was only created back in March, allowing resolutions of up to 4K 120Hz with HDR and double the bandwidth of DisplayPort 1.3.

Could mean "240hz" like on TVs but comon 240hz isnt that a bit excessive?

displayport 1.4 is no faster then 1.3, but it does now have Display Stream Compression 1.2 (DSC) which is a 3:1 compression.

i think it's really more about the 120hz @ 4K support that is exciting...with cards like the GTX 1080 (some will do even in SLI) will be able to push more than 60FPS at 4K in many games...

120hz 4k is definitely the important thing here and I guess while you are at it why not have support for higher refresh rates on lower res monitors with the extra bandwidth but then shouldnt it be 480hz @ 1080p ?

i don't know exactly how it works...but having a 144hz monitor myself with a GPU that can push 144FPS in some games...i really don't see the point cause honestly anything beyond 90FPS is basically useless IMHO as it's already liquid smooth...i think there is a reason why the current VR stuff aim at 90FPS...it's because it's very very smooth already

But the jump from 60 to 90FPS is night and day difference.

Display port works off of bandwidth so it should be possible, but it is confirmed to support up to 240Hz.

 

even if they cant get it to work right they could use a MST hub in the screen to shown 2 1080p 240Hz screens and use a software layer between the card and monitor to combined refresh rates kind of like how first gen 4k screens merged 2 4k/2 screens together.

There was a piece of news that said Polaris will too, but the reality is that what adds support for 240Hz is Displayport 1.4. GPU manufacturers didn't have to put in that much effort other than adding the DP1.4 I/O.

i think DP 1.4 and HDMI2.0b makes the perfect I/O option...it cover everything.

As an owner of 2 VGA monitors It sucks to be left behind

 

GPU companies, at least include analog DVI pls, don't make me have to buy another HDMI to VGA adapter chip thingy.

[zacRupnow]

Don't all GPU's support 240Hz or higher? Or is this meaning Gsync will now be up to 240Hz.

No, let's end the expensive, big connectors. DVI needs to die too.

NVIDIA PLEASE ABANDON G-SYNC AND HAVE ADAPTIVE SYNC BE UNIVERSALLY ADOPTED! 

Sorry, needed to get that off my chest.

I think AMD has something like this up their sleeve as well, thought I saw a thread on it. In other news: Newer GPUs support higher frame-rates, more at 11.

Why? GSync has multiple features FreeSync doesn't, including fluid frame spacing for recording software. GSync is the technically superior solution for now. Once it isn't, I'll hop on your bandwagon.

We're just talking comparatively with sync technology on both fences.

 

Right now G-Sync is the better and more refined option.

 

That said, i'm hopping on Freesync right now because you got me fucked up if you don't think i'll Jew out on a monitor that supports Freesync, save $100-$200 on a panel, compared to G-Sync's options.

Fun fact Jews are associated with money because Muslims can't charge interest so they hired Jews and Christians as financial adminstators and they also ran the banks for the same reason. The more you know.

And here I am sitting on my shit hp 2310m 1080p60 monitor.

I am not. Muslims can't charge interest. Jews can. For that reason they were financial administrators. Until Islamic banking came along.

I have 144Hz monitor, Im sure I can notice a difference going from 144 to 240 so I would love to ! It is not excessive until we reach the absolute maximum  FPS at which our eyes can notice a difference. The small demo Nvidia showed with 1000Hz+ could be excessive but we havent experienced it so we cant tell for sure,

But monitors cost a lot of monies
 

I'll take one for free if anyone wants to help a poor analog-stuck soul.

[ThreePinkApples]

The really interesting part here is the HDMI 2.0b, notice the b. I hadn't heard about 2.0b before the Nvidia announcement, before then there was 2.0a, which is what is needed for HDR. 
HDMI 2.0b adds

Dynamic synchronization of video and audio stream

to the standard. So basically, HDMI's Freesync support, which AMD have been working on. 
Does this mean Nvidia has intentions on supporting Freesync? Or is it just that it is the newest HDMI standard and they had to take it or leave it?

The second last bulletin point. All the other points were there for 2.0a

I agree, G SYNC is better, as it uses a custom chip in the monitor. I'm just not a fan of proprietary bullshit. Once Intel supports Freesync, G SYNC will become more and more niche.
