Monoprice 8K DisplayPort 2.0 Cable 6ft 80Gbps

Monoprice 8K DisplayPort 2.0 Cable (6 ft) delivers up to 80.0Gbps bandwidth to support single-display 16K@60Hz or multi-display 8K@120Hz with HDR and 30bpp color depth.

This DisplayPort 2.0 cable is engineered to unlock the next generation of high-resolution monitors and TVs while remaining fully compatible with today’s gaming PCs, laptops, and multi-monitor setups. With nearly triple the throughput of DP 1.4a, the cable supports Display Stream Compression (DSC), Forward Error Correction, and adaptive sync technologies so you can push higher refresh rates and richer color without visible artifacts.

What resolution and refresh rates can this cable actually support?

This Monoprice DP 2.0 cable handles extremely high bandwidth scenarios: it supports a single monitor up to 16K@60Hz with HDR and up to 30 bits per pixel. For dual-screen configurations it can drive two 8K displays at 120Hz using DSC, enabling smooth motion and detailed imagery across multiple panels.

• Single-display: up to 16K@60Hz with HDR10 and 30bpp color depth
• Dual-display: two 8K@120Hz (with DSC) and HDR10
• Supports YCbCr 4:4:4 color space for full chroma detail
• Forward Error Correction to maintain signal integrity at high bandwidths

Will this cable improve gaming performance with adaptive sync tech?

Yes — the cable is compatible with both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, allowing monitors and GPUs that support adaptive refresh to synchronize frame rates and reduce screen tearing. That means smoother gameplay and fewer visual distractions when paired with a compatible GPU and display.

• Compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync monitors
• Supports high refresh rates for competitive gaming at high resolutions
• Works with MST setups for multi-monitor gaming or productivity
• Maintains HDR signaling for vivid contrast and better visuals

How does DisplayPort 2.0 differ from older DP versions and HDMI?

DisplayPort 2.0 increases raw bandwidth to 80.0Gbps, nearly tripling the capacity of DP 1.4a (32.4Gbps). That extra headroom lets you reach higher resolutions and refresh rates, enable multi-stream transport (MST), and use improved color depths without relying solely on compression.

• 80.0Gbps bandwidth versus 32.4Gbps on DP 1.4a
• Native support for DSC and enhanced Forward Error Correction
• Better multi-monitor support via MST compared with older DP versions
• Superior color depth and HDR support for professional and enthusiast displays

Is this cable easy to use with PCs, laptops, and TVs?

Yes — the Monoprice DP 2.0 cable uses the standard DisplayPort connector and is plug-and-play with devices that expose a DisplayPort 2.0 or compatible DisplayPort output. No special drivers are required; once connected, your display and GPU negotiate the best supported mode automatically.

• Standard DisplayPort connector for broad device compatibility
• Plug-and-play operation — automatic mode negotiation
• Works with desktops, laptops, gaming consoles that support DP, and DP-equipped TVs
• 6-foot length balances reach and signal integrity for most setups

Who is this cable for? If you own or plan to upgrade to high-refresh, high-resolution displays — whether you’re a competitive gamer, creative professional, or power user with multi-monitor needs — this Monoprice 8K DisplayPort 2.0 cable future-proofs your setup. It’s especially useful for users who want maximum color fidelity, HDR capability, and the bandwidth to run 16K single-screen scenarios or dual 8K panels, while maintaining support for adaptive sync technologies and robust signal reliability.
