Notes & Compatibility
4K@120Hz requires DSC support on both GPU and monitor. Without DSC, maximum is 4K@60Hz at full color depth. For runs over 3m, use VESA-certified active DP8K cables (e.g., StarTech 7.6m active DP1.4) — active cables are directional (source→display). Most widely recommended DP cable for gaming setups.
