More High-End GPUs Are Now Compatible With Dell's 8K Monitor

GETTING 8K DISPLAYS to work with Windows 10 PCs can be difficult, as Dell is finding out.

But playing with 8K on PCs is a discovery process for Dell, which shipped the first-ever 8K display—the Dell 32 UltraSharp 8K Monitor—recently. The small initial stock of the $5,000 display sold out in a few days.

The display won’t work on all PCs and needs specific hardware and display ports. But Dell is finding out that more hardware than it originally thought can handle 8K graphics, including AMD’s Radeon Pro WX 7100 workstation GPU (go.pcworld.com/amdwx7100).

The 32-inch display shows images at a resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels. The monitor shows stunning colors and features 33.2 million pixels and more than a billion colors.
