Graphics card features

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics card supports HDMI 2.1 and can be used on Samsung TVs. The card includes some extra features as well:

  • Fixed Rate Link (FRL): A signaling technology that is able to achieve higher uncompressed resolutions, including 8K. It’s also able to use 48Gbps ultra high speed bandwidth.
  • Display Stream Compression (DSC): A lossless compression algorithm that can achieve higher resolutions and faster refresh rates, such as 4K at 120FPS. It also includes greater color depths at 8K. 
  • Variable Refresh Rate (VRR): VRR eliminates screen tearing for fluid, enjoyable gameplay. When combined with Fixed Rate Link and Display Stream Compression, it delivers high-resolution gaming.
