This calculator should help you determine how much bandwidth a resolution needs,
thus allowing you to more easily figure out what type of display cable you need.
Video bandwidth of common cables: - VGA (DVI-A) = 400 MHz (6.4 Gbit)
- DVI-D = 4.95 Gbit (165 MHz)
- HDMI
v1.0/1.1/1.2 = 4.95 Gbit (165 MHz)
v1.3/1.4/1.4a = 10.2 Gbit (340 MHz) - DVI-D Dual Link = 9.9 Gbit (330 MHz)
- DisplayPort
v1.0/1.1 = 10.8 Gbit (360 MHz)
v1.2 = 21.6 Gbit (720 MHz) If details are wrong, or the calculations are inaccurate please use the contact form and let me know! |
