Will an M1 Mac Studio run a 3k screen @ 120Hz?

[Sharky II]

Hi,

I'd like to buy a portable monitor to go with my Mac Studio M1 Ultra. There are a new crop of 16" OLED monitors that are relatively affordable, have pretty accurate P3 Wide colour and run at 120Hz.

UPERFECT 3K Portable Monitor 16'' 120Hz OLED Monitor 100% DCI-P3, 1ms, 100000:1, with Type C Mini HDMI, Laptop Monitor Built-in VESA Hole, External Screen with Smart Cover for Laptop/PC/Mac/PS

16" 3K OLED Monitor: The 16-inch portable monitor features a 3K resolution (2880x1800); The OLED screen delivers vibrant colors, and an impressive 100000:1 contrast ratio, enhancing the richness of media content, which provides sharp and detailed visuals for a superior viewing experience.

The 4K OLED 120Hz models are very expensive and I know my machine wouldn't support 4K 120Hz.

Would the M1 Mac Studios support 3K (2880x1800) @ 120Hz (via either HDMI or USB-C) or would it be limited to 60Hz?

Cheers

My M1 MacBook Air can push my ultrawide screen, which is 3440x1440, at 175hz over USB-C. 120hz at the resolution you require should be doable given the amount of bandwidth available, but probably not via HDMI as the M1 only has HDMI 2.0.
