PC Processors

I plan to buy some x570 motherboard and Ryzen 5 3400G processor as a transitional solution until I buy a graphics card. I'm wondering if the Ryzen 5 3400G processor supports 2k resolution 2560/1440) at 144hz in a 10bit color palette and HDR. Of course not for playing games but for working in Windows and working in internet browser, watching content on YouTube etc. Or to be clearer. What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate that this processor can support to work in a desktop environment either via HDMI or DisplayPort

I believe that depends on your motherboard's specs concerning DP and HDMI outputs.

If the motherboard you choose has DP 1.2 or HDMI 2.0 you will be able to get 2k@144hz according to this cable site: https://www.displayninja.com/which-cable-do-i-need-for-144hz/

Depends on the Motherboard you choose what the maximum Resolutions will be.

Found this Reddit thread from other Users that mentions that both the 2400g and 3400g support 2k@144hz https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/mh0zt6/can_i_use_a_3400g_vega_11_for_browsing_and_stuff/

Thanks for your reply. I saw that Reddit thread and a few others, but they are all unverified and insufficient clarification of information. Almost all x 570 motherboards have HDMI 2.0 or Display Port 1.4 so the outputs themselves are not a problem. I am specifically interested in whether the processor itself can deliver a 2 K image at 144 Hz. I find it strange that I was not able to find out this information from AMD itself. I expected to find somewhere the data provided by AMD on all resolutions and refresh rates related to that processor.

To tell you the truth I haven't ever seen AMD give out Specs on its APUs concerning Maximum Resolutions and Frequencies.

Same goes for its GPUs. Most of the time I need to go to the 3rd party GPU's manufacturer's Support site to see the specs that many times shows the maximum resolutions and frequencies. Since they are all based on the AMD GPU chips they should all be the same or very similar in Specs.

Generally I check Websites dedicated to processor's specs like WikiChips and CPU World to find answers.

But in my opinion, I believe the 3400g will support 2K@144hz.  

The only thing I can suggest is your open a AMD Support ticket and asked them directly from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/contact-email-form
