4K @ 30Hz

[Itsme]

I have an asrock deskmini 310 set up as an HTPC type of system and just recently got bigbox set up on it. I noticed when playing for the first time that my NES games are lagging both in sound and gameplay. I noticed my specs state my HDMI is 4K@30Hz and my DisplayPort is 4K@60Hz. I have my HDMI hooked up and was thinking of getting a displayport cable but my TV only has HDMI ports (55" TCL). Is there anything I can do to get around this?

You can get cables with display port one end and HDMI the other, or you can get display port adapters, that plug into the port then you plug the HDMI cable into the other end of the adapter.

Oh that's good to know! It looks like bestbuy has some cheap cables available. Thanks for the info.

Bestbuy is extremely overpriced for HDMI cables you can get quality ones for very good prices on Amazon.

I have one of these, it is 4k compatible at 60hz, but it's not HDR compatible.

Well, I had left shortly after my last post and got the only one they had. After plugging it in, I had the same results. Little did I realize the cable is not rated for 60hz (4096x2160@30Hz). FFS

 

Guess I'll order one from Amazon!

You should also look to make sure your video card supports that resolution at 60hz as well.

It looks like it does. It's a UHD 610 (G4920 CPU)

• Max Resolution (HDMI 1.4)4096x2304@24Hz
  Max Resolution (DP)4096x2304@60Hz

Correct, so he needs a cable or adapter to go from display port to HDMI 2.0, like i said in my first reply.

I ended up getting the adapter and 2.0 cable and it worked. Thanks for the help guys
