Valve tells Ars its “trying to unblock” limits caused by open source driver issues.

Yes, as the standard is more or less open source. There are no barriers to entry.
Except it’s not on any TVs.
Not entirely true, but the enough yes.
I thought you can connect DP to HDMI with a simple cable, no adapters needed?
With VRR?
I don’t know, can you? Do many TVs support VRR through HDMI <-> HDMI connections, but not DP <-> HDMI?
I’ve not got one for testing right now. But some googling does seem to indicate this is a sticking point for gaming, and why GPU makers put the latest HDMI ports on their cards and ponied up the licensing fees.
Ah, that’s a bummer. Thanks for checking!
That’s what I suspected. So rather than fighting HDMI, we need to buy display port instead.
Have you looked at the HDMI Forum member list and board of directors?
It includes pretty much every manufacturer who makes decisions which ports to include on their devices. They have no interest in DisplayPort adoption.
I had a little scroll through yeah. They may not be interested in display port, but they’re sure interested in money. That’s why I suggested people by stuff with display port, rather that try to fight to have HDMI more open.
I appreciate AMD trying to improve HDMI openness, they’ve always been more open. That’s why I’ve bought AMD oven Intel and nvidia for the last 10 years or so.
All we can do as consumers is vote with our wallets. That’s all these companies care about.
