Here’s where the real-world pain actually lives: the scaler’s internal bandwidth budget, not just the cable. A 10-bit signal at a given resolution and refresh requires 25% more raw throughput than 8-bit (1.25×), because you’re moving 10 bits per channel per subpixel instead of 8. At 240Hz you’re pushing ~12 Gbps more uncompressed data at 1440p, and that gap widens aggressively at 4K. Most mid-range panels use a fixed internal scaler that’s rated for a specific max, so forcing 10-bit @ 240Hz often means the scaler either drops you to RGB 4:4:4 8-bit, engages DSC compression to fit 10-bit into DP 1.4’s ~32.4 Gbps pipe, or throws up a “signal out of range” error. The telltale sign you’ve hit the scaler wall instead of the cable wall is that your
