Steps For Checking HBR2 or HBR3 Compatibility

The following steps can be used to find out if your processor has HBR2 or HBR3 compatibility.

Note: Tiger Lake (11th generation mobile processors) and newer should support HBR3 but to ensure this, follow the below steps for the HBR3 supportability.
Note:
  • HBR2 supports a DisplayPort Max Resolution of 4096 x 2304 @ 60 Hz
  • HBR3 supports a DisplayPort Max Resolution of 7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz
