Gigabyte Motherboards Support 4K Resolution Displays
GIGABYTE says that its dual Thunderbolt series of
motherboards support 4K resolution monitors in
configurations derived from two Mini DisplayPort
connectors.
The company has tested the feature using a GA-Z77MX-D3H
TH motherboard with latest official BIOS (F5 BIOS,) an
EIZO FDH3601 high resolution color monitor that is
designed for air traffic control and geophysical
services and an Intel Core i7 3770K with HD4000
graphics to dual Thunderbolt Mini DisplayPort
connectors.
"Desktop PC motherboards are all about cutting edge features, performance, and upgradeability, and this is why GIGABYTE was the first motherboard company to adopt dual Thunderbolt ports instead of the single port option," commented Tim Handley, Deputy Director of Motherboard Marketing at GIGABYTE. "When combined with other innovative products, such as EIZO's 4K resolution FDH3601 monitor, GIGABYTE Thunderbolt motherboard users can enjoy next generation display options with their existing platform, without having to wait for future 4K resolution standards."
GIGABYTE's 'TH' models offer up to 10Gbps data transfer speeds from each of its two Thunderbolt ports. Each Thunderbolt port complies with the DisplayPort 1.1 standard (with support for 2K resolutions from each port), and therefore provide a combined resolution of up to 4K.
