AMD has big plans for its GPUs and one of the biggest shake ups will be the new DisplayPort 1.3 connector.
Rather than teasing the incredible clock speeds its next graphics cards will have, the company gleefully explained that the new DisplayPort standard will be able to power 5K displays with a single cable.
