DisplayPort is a digital communication interface that utilizes differential signaling to achieve a high bandwidth bus interface designed to support connections between PCs and monitors, projectors, and TV displays. DisplayPort is suitable for display connections between consumer electronics devices such as high definition optical disc players, set top boxes, and TV displays. DisplayPort output can be converted to HDMI output using a
DisplayPort’s maximum supported display resolution is 2560 x 1600 at a 60 Hz refresh rate with a 16:10 aspect ratio (WQXGA). DisplayPort 1.1 adds support for High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) version 1.3 which enables viewing of protected content from

The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and Intel Pentium processors in an LGA1155 socket support discrete
•PCI Express 2 frequency of 2.5 GHz which results in 5.0 Gb/s in each direction (500 MB/s) per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is 8 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode.
•PCI Express 1.1 frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction (250 MB/s) per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is 4 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode.
