KitGuru ☛ Intel drivers for Linux reveal new Battlemage GPU details
Intel has recently released an update to its Battlemage GPU drivers for Linux. As usual, this update was accompanied by patch notes, confirming an interesting bit of information regarding the upcoming graphics cards. Battlemage GPUs will not support DisplayPort (2.1) UHBR20 mode.
As first reported by Phoronix, the latest Intel Battlemage GPU drivers for Linux disable UHBR20 support, limiting the maximum DisplayPort rate to UHBR13.5. Meanwhile, the AMD Radeon 7000 GPUs already implement DP 2.1 specifications, with the RX models providing 13.5Gbps and the Pro series supporting up to 20Gbps modes. Although some GPUs already support UHBR20, not many displays can sustain the entire 20Gbps bandwidth.
