HD6 series Maximum resolution over Displayport

[samuelmorris]

Hi,

I've been looking around and can't find many answers that support each other either way on this.

Would the Radeon HD6970 be able to drive a 3840x2160 display at 60Hz, yes or no?

The AMD spec sheet says a max of 2560x1600 per display, but of course 4K typically manifests itself as two displays stitched together anyway.
The HD7 series page shows 4096x2160 per display, but of course those cards were manufactured after 4K displays became well known to end users. At the time of the HD6 series release, they were pretty much unheard of, so the spec sheet might not have mentioned it.

Both cards appear to have displayport 1.2 fitted, so is there any practical reason why HD6 cards can't drive 4K @ 60Hz in practice?

Any info appreciated

Thanks

Sam

Having thought about it, would this be better posted in the AMD section?

What makes me think it's possible is this article:

But some definitive answer would be great, otherwise I'l just have to try it and see.
