This is where HDMI and DisplayPort usually differ. Both figures are at native resolution.
| HDMI | 5120x1440 @ 75Hz (no DSC) |
|---|---|
| DisplayPort | 5120x1440 @ 165Hz (DSC required) |
Inputs
| Connector | Version label | Count | Documented input ceiling |

Notes
Max refresh is 165Hz (corrected from an earlier ~240Hz assumption), confirmed twice (ASUS spec page + manual). 165Hz is DisplayPort / USB-C only - HDMI 2.0 is capped at 5120x1440/75Hz per ASUS’s own scan-frequency table and section 3.5 Supported Timing List. DisplayPort at 5120x1440/165Hz exceeds HBR3 and requires DSC. Only "VESA Adaptive-Sync" is named officially; branded G-SYNC / FreeSync certs are not. The HDMI 75Hz cap is official port timing (modelled as structured data above), not a Known Exception.
