HDMI 2.0a? Really?
Not even HDMI 2.0b?
What other degradations in quality are built into this card?
Typical of AMD to cut corners, to get high fps and low consumption but not look as good as Nvidia cards.. It's kind of their thing..
Why I went back to Green..

So you have no problem with "Green" being DP 1.2 certified only and DP 1.3/1.4 ready? "Green" could have gotten certification for DP 1.2a/1.2b or 1.3.

Actually I play on a 50" 4k TV. So I use HDMI. It matters to me what it supports.
Idc about DP at all.

Thats one beautiful card! For $199 no doubt I'll be getting at least one. Maybe two, since for $400 it will for sure blow the GTX1070 away.

HDMI 2.0a is old news. Polaris supports the new HDMI 2.0b.

It looks so tinny, almost a slap in the face!

Mr McC · Jun 2, 2016

On paper, this is of much more interest to me than either the 1070 or the 1080. Really love the compact size and austere aesthetics and I can only hope that the end product lives up to expectations once it hits the shelves. Whilst perhaps a bit premature, well done AMD.

I dont understand why people are so pessimistic on amd, let us not judge on this one yet. Give them a chance..they've learn their mistakes...
And the most important is..dont make nvidia have their monopoly....its us who loss...

And i dont understand either why you people compare it with 1080/1070, its amd themselves that says its performance is on par with 970/980, those two cards are out perform with 1080/1070

So sad that shillers and trolls don't even know basics, trying to fud AMD for supporting the best HDMI standard and the best DP standard...

Get another day job cos you fail at trolling.

2.0b is the inferior version... LOL,

From http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases/Pages/amd-demonstrates-2016jan04.aspx
Jan 2016, AMD claims HDMI 2.0a support.

From https://www.thebroadcastbridge.com/content/entry/3968/uhd-2015-confusion-continues

http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_2_0/

HDMI 2.0b, which is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the HDMI specification, is the most recent update of the HDMI specification. It also enables key enhancements to support market requirements for enhancing the consumer video and audio experience.

2.0a only adds HDR.

Edit: Comparing 2.0a and 2.0b, I can't find anything different...officially. Unofficially, I wouldn't be surprised if 2.0b has something to do with G-Sync.

So you are unclear about what hdmi specifications actually denote, but still decided to cast aspersion on AMD for employing what you affirmed to be the inferior version on its new cards, is that what you mean when you say that something is wrong with the link that you referenced?

FordGT90Concept · Jun 2, 2016

That image has been in circulation for some time. I think "level a" means HDMI 2.0 with high speed cables where "level b" means HDMI 2.0 with normal cables. It has nothing to do with HDMI 2.0a and HDMI 2.0b because the HDMI 2.0 standard is 18 Gb/s.

HDMI 2.0a definitely added HDR (metadata which is transmitted through the HDMI capable and unpacked in the display).
HDMI 2.0b definitely includes HDR but I haven't found anything that says what else changed.
HDMI 2.0 will be superseded by HDMI 2.1 (hopefully will get rid of the a and b versions).

Edit: This forum post has a good guess:

As far as I can tell, HDMI 2.0b enables dynamic metadata for HDR10 a la Dolby Vision. Searching around I only saw that difference.

HDMI 2.0a added support for Phillips HDR so maybe HDMI 2.0b adds support for Dolby Vision HDR. Perhaps HDMI 2.1 makes metadata generic so they don't have to update the specification every time a manufacturer wants to create another one.

Thank you AMD for dropping the DVI port, let's move forwards, not backwards.

I still sit on a DVI :cry:

That monitor was one of the best investments I ever did. It lasted 10 years already and going strong, colors of the IPS pannel are still fantastic, brightness is great and it is perfectly uniformly lit, even with dark color and and lights closed, I don't see any stupid light leak. It does have only 60hz, but most ips today have the same 60hz and probably has some ghosting by today standards, but I don't feel it so its all good and not planning yet to change it.

HDMI 2.0b adds dynamic metadata to further imitate Dolby Vision (the best version of HDR only a handful of OLED and LCD TVs support).

HDMI 2.0a and produces inferior HDR image quality.
