AMD’s next generation GPU will reportedly support HDMI 2.2 Leave a comment
New stories recommend that AMD’s upcoming era of graphics playing cards (doubtless named RDNA 5) will embrace the newer HDMI 2.2 normal. Nonetheless, do not anticipate a full doubling of bandwidth proper out of the gate. Experiences point out these next-gen GPUs will help HDMI 2.2 speeds of as much as 80 Gbit/s, a major bump from HDMI 2.1’s 48 Gbit/s, however fall wanting the usual’s theoretical 96 Gbit/s most.
In response to Kepler, the RDNA 5 (or UDNA) GPUs, internally codenamed GFX13, are specified to help two modes: 64 Gbit/s and 80 Gbit/s. This means that the very best 96 Gbit/s mode, which might demand the brand new “Ultra96” HDMI cables, is not going to be supported, at the very least initially. It stays unclear whether or not this can be a {hardware} limitation of the upcoming GPUs or if full 96 Gbit/s help could possibly be enabled later (for instance, by means of driver updates).
The leaker additionally famous that there’s presently no data relating to DisplayPort 2.1b compatibility for the GFX13 structure. Alternatively, Nvidia’s RTX Professional Blackwell and GeForce RTX 50 collection already help this normal, placing them forward in that particular side.
Kepler’s report does not distinguish between the Radeon RX (client) and Radeon Professional (skilled) collection of GPUs. The replace refers broadly to the GFX13 show engine, and traditionally, AMD has typically differentiated show output capabilities between its client {and professional} traces. Whether or not this development will proceed with the GFX13 stays to be seen.
KitGuru says: Would you relatively see AMD pushing the DisplayPort normal additional on its upcoming GPUs as an alternative of HDMI?
