What happened? Samsung has shown that it claims to be the first public performance of a game-Khilaj is playing in 8K at 120 Hz on a native 8k 8k television on prohibited West-HodMI 2.1. While it seems impressive, there were some caves.
Samsung showed demo in NAB earlier this month, in which partnership with Mingier and AMD was reported. Flatpanelshd,
The PC used for the performance was an all-AMD build from Maingear. It added powerful Ryzen 7 9800x3D with Radeon 9070 XT, 32GB RAM, and MSI X670E with Gaming Plus Wi-Fi motherboard. Not surprisingly, the 8K output was upscailed from 5K using AMD’s fidelityfx super resolution 3 Apascoaling Technology.

Samsung did not say anything about graphics settings in the game. Our review of the card suggests that the average of 74 FPS performs a 4K performance between RTX 4070 TI Super and RTX 5070 TI. While there is no ray trading option in the game, it is likely that the graphics were at the lower end to achieve this result, and the FSR3 was possibly set at a performance-centric level with the frame generation capable.
The TV used in the demo was a Samsung 65-inch 8k Neo QLED TV model, which was particularly custom-proposed for this program. Samsung did not specify what the amendments were.

It is believed that the claims of “World-Fund” being made here are related to the game played on HDMI 2.1. Standard 48 GB/s can reach 8k@60Hz with its maximum bandwidth, so DSC (display stream compression) was used to reach 8K@120Hz.
Some suspected that amendments in TV Samsung talked about DSC related, but its new 8K TVs already support technology – every 8K TV made from about 2021 supports it. So, it is likely that some more related adaptation.
In January, the HDMI Forum announced the new Altra96 cable, which would enable the increased bandwidth of 96GBPS of HDMI 2.2. This is double the 48GBPS bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 and exceeds 80GBPS supported by display 2.1. This means that HDMI will support up to 480hz up to 480Hz up to 480Hz, up to 240Hz, and 10K at 120Hz without the use of DSC.
HDMI 2.2 is ready to come in the first half of 2025, when companies will receive full specifications, but it may be years before the standard appears in consumer equipment.
