Hi folks

I have looked over the Club3D site for a Display Port cable for my nVidia 5090 video card in my Falcon Northwest PC connecting to an Asus ROG ‘PG32UQX’ (3840×2160), Mini-LED, IPS monitor. This is an all-out gaming PC.

Some of the descriptions of the data capabilities of the cables are a bit confusing for me. I’m looking for the best and fastest Display Port cable (6.56′ length). I think the one I want is the DP2.0/2.1, HBR3, VESA certified, with @ 77.37 Gps data rate. Not sure, however.

Appreciate any help, please. Thanks in advance.

Which cable are you looking at? I think the cable you want is the CAC-1092 which is 1.6m/5.25ft.

77.37 Gbps, or 80 Gbps, DP80, or UHBR 20 are all indicators of the max DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 bandwidth.

“VESA DP80 Certified” is a certification that the cable can do the max bandwidth.

Every other descriptor is unnecessary when it comes to quality or bandwidth.

HBR3 is a DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 link rate that is 40% of UHBR 20. A UHBR 20 cable can do all the DisplayPort link rates but the product page does not clearly state this. It says “Downwards compatible to older DisplayPort™ standards” but doesn’t say it supports the lower link rates or connecting to DisplayPort 1.1/1.2/1.4 sources and sinks. One part that is confusing is the description of a “New DP2.1 spec connector” or “NEW DP80 connector” or “NEW contact fingers special designed for these high speeds”. Are these new male connectors compatible with old female connectors? If so, then this may be a case of TMI (too much information).

Insert Image Size must be less than < 5MB.

That cable should also work.

Which DisplayPort cable for top performance…
