    I believe 1.3 adds more bandwidth...

    Double the bandwidth, and ability to transport compressed audio DolbyTrueHD. It also says that 1.2 can go up to 1920x1200 while 1.3 can go all the way up to 2560x1600. So unless you're using a 30" monitor, I don't think it's a big deal.

    As to which one it is exactly, can't tell you, I don't have the 7811FX, and I don't have a 30-inch monitor to test it with :p
