Display port 1.2a

[ringo]

I need to buy display port cable that support freesync. As far as I read I need version 1.2a? On amazon I am only finding 1.2 without "a" and 1.3 version is twice expensive than 1.2. So my only option is to buy 1.3?

The DisplayPort version doesn't come from the cable.

So your are saying that monitor have 1.2a output (marketing) and that 1.2 cable (without a) will be good enough for freesync, that it will support it. Am I correct?

DisplayPort cables don't have versions, there are no 1.2 cables or 1.2a cables. FreeSync will work with any DisplayPort cable.
