We're still waiting for DP1.2->HDMI2.0 converters to actually appear too aren't we? Some have been announced, but I haven't seen any reviewed or on sale yet... (There are some mis-advertised ones which are HDMI 1.4a only)

anandtech Wrote:It is our understanding that the increased speed of the Z170 launch means that there has been supply issues with Alpine Ridge controllers and that there will be more products coming out next month (September) from various manufacturers that will use the controller.
anandtech Wrote:Perhaps surprising here, but ECS is listing the Claymore as supporting HDMI 2.0. This means, because there isn’t an Alpine Ridge controller onboard, that they are using an LS-Pcon in order to do so and are the only ones who are doing it as far as I can tell.

Don't get fooled with this 10 bit stuff - I don't know _any_ hw decoder yet, that really decodes the 10 bit directly.Maybe in Linux, but in Windows using DXVA2 it is full 10-bit decode via HW.
