With the release of the Odyssey Neo G9 57″ being just around the corner, now might be a fine time to remind prospective customers that the new monitor, which Samsung has advertised as being the world’s first to support Dual 4K UHD (DUHD) resolution, will seemingly require AMD’s latest GPUs to maximize its potential. As noted in an overview of the $2,499.99 display that Quasar Zone user QM Doopa published last month, only Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs are able to hit 240 Hz in the monitor’s maximum resolution of 7680 x 2160, the equivalent of two 32-inch 4K UHD monitors side-by-side. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 and 30 Series GPUs, as well as Intel Arc GPUs, in contrast, max out at 120 Hz, a limitation that some have speculated to derive from DSC bottlenecks. “Dual UHD 240Hz is supported only by graphics cards that support Display Port 2.1 (UHBR 13.5) or HDMI 2.1 (FRL 6). Support and actual refresh rate may vary by graphics card,” reads a part of Samsung’s fine print.
