Unfortunately there’s no way to tell from the hardware itself what version of DisplayPort it will support. Check the original specifications of your device, or contact the manufacturer.
Are there different types of DisplayPort?
There are two main types of DisplayPort cable – the standard cable, and a smaller version called Mini DisplayPort. The standard cable is most commonly used. However, the Mini DisplayPort is ideal for smaller devices and compatibility with Apple equipment.
Are all DisplayPort ports the same?
What is the difference between DisplayPort versions?
DisplayPort 1.2 originally offered a maximum total bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps over its four lanes and a maximum total data rate of 17.28 Gbps. In comparison, DisplayPort 1.4 has the same four-lane structure but expands the maximum total bandwidth to 32.40 Gbps, and the maximum total data rate to 25.92 Gbps.
Does it matter which DisplayPort cable I use?
If you are in the market for a DisplayPort cable, you should choose a quality DisplayPort 1.4 cable from a company like Cable Matters. Even if your current equipment only supports DisplayPort 1.2, a quality DisplayPort 1.4 cable is still a great choice.
