USB 3.0 Adapters -> USB 2.0 maximum resolution

coolspot · 10-11-2012, 04:19 PM

Hi all,

The new USB 3.0 adapters support very high resolutions... if one of these adapters run in USB 2.0 mode, what is the maximum resolution? Also, is there a performance impact when running in USB 2.0 mode?

Thanks.

The resolution is the same on USB2.0 and USB3.0. The higher bandwidth of USB 3.0 will give higher quality, but it will still be perfectly usable on USB 2.0.
