No lower-port revision is inferred from 4K 60 labels. Public Supported Resolutions confirms working 1080p 240 Hz with VRR disabled, but does not establish its absolute fixed-rate maximum. With VRR enabled, it instead runs at 72 Hz with resolution halving. The incomplete refresh_rate_modes table is omitted so a proved 4K 144 Hz cap cannot derive a false overall 144 Hz maximum. Proved physical per-port 4K limits remain in video_inputs.
