HDMI 2.1: 8K, HDR, 120hz, 4K
http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/what-is-hdmi-2-1-specs-explained Just in time for Nvidias 1080ti reveal that hopefully has one (make that two) Note the VRR. (variable refresh rate) Does this mean that TV's will now have AMD's freesync? They've just announced freesync 2 as well. Where does that leave people with G-Sync tech? Will Nvidia support this new VRR on HDMI 2.1 TV's and projectors? I can't wait to play 3D TV Play games at 720p 60hz on a 8K or 4K 120HZ projector! :D The way its meant to be played eh? :D

This is great news. HDMI has been dragging its heels for a while now. I don't use 3D Play but isn't there a restriction from nVidia that forces you into 24fps/30fps at 1080p (and above)? I doubt nVidia would allow anything to trump official 3D Vision supported displays in any fashion. What are the current disadvantages of 3D Play vs native 3D vision support?

3DTV play is limited to 720p 60hz or 1080p 24hz. So if I buy a new 4k 120hz HDR TV using HDMI 2.1, Nvidia thinks that playing at 720p 60hz SDR is the 'way its meant to played' The only thing that's being played like its meant to, is Nvidias customers, i.e us! We paid for 3DTV Play for the extra 'support' and they can't even take the poxy resolution cap off their own software! This alone, single handedly shows how much of a shit Nvidia cares about it's gaming customers. It's textbook complacency. They are looking upwards and onwards regarding markets they can make money from (as you would), but you should always keep and eye on your heritage and past! You've got to know where you're coming from to know where you're going! Nvidias Keynote was much like Panasonics. Roughly translated as, 'we are making so much money from industrial implementations, that we don't give a shit about consumer products anymore.' Luckily for us AMD do! I hope they have a beast to announce with 8GB of HBM2 memory.

Even if its on par with 1080 hopefully it wont cost as much.

@zig11727 Off topic, but curious: What's your memory usage in games? Does the system eat up more than 16GB when 3D Vision gaming intensely?
