The Display Stream compression standard will be used in DisplayPort 1.3 since it is a Low Latency, Zero Artifact compression algorithm. Display Stream Compression is already being used in mobile, but will be used in DP 1.3 because we’re reaching the limitations of copper bandwidth. But the ultimate goal of DisplayPort 1.3 is to support 8K resolution, which will either be 7680 × 4320 (16:9) (33.1 megapixels) or 8192 × 4320 (~17:9) (35.3 megapixels).

Right now, with DisplayPort 1.2 we are using all the bandwidth for 4K displays, which is something that was thought about way back when DisplayPort was created. Now, with DisplayPort 1.3 companies want to be able to power two 4K displays (or 4K 3D) or even one 8K display with a single cable. 8K is 4x as many pixels as 4K, and you simply have to use compression in order to be able to accomplish 8K at a reasonable bandwidth. In order to do 8K, they will only be able to support just under 12 bits per pixel. DP 1.2 will continue to be an ongoing brand for all of the new 4K stuff coming in late 2013 and 2014, but DP 1.3 will be seen as a future standard to work towards.

I would love to see a 4x4K Eyefinity group test! :D
 
It's all about making the ports adaptable to the future. Same as they are going to put pcie 4 before pcie 3 bandwidth is being totally used.
