there’s barely even any monitors anyway.
it’s like nvidia and the consoles: AMD can do whatever they want but the market penetration isn’t there until nvidia is onboard. Monitors are a low-margin high-volume business and you can’t support an advanced product that tops out at 10% addressable market.
Let alone when that brand’s customers are notoriously “thrifty”…
It's not just about what you need today, it's also about what you need in a couple years. If I pay $1600+ for a video card you can rest assured I expect it to be used for more than a couple years. Skimping on the ports seems like a bizarre choice.
So you need more than 165hz, 10bit, hdr, and 4k in a couple of years? Because that's what hdmi 2.1 on a 4090 is running for me. I agree. They could have done better on the ports, but to the majority of users, the hdmi 2.1 has enough bandwidth tbh.
Sure. 4K 240Hz OLED is coming next year.
