Itsme Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsme Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Oh that's good to know! It looks like bestbuy has some cheap cables available. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Bestbuy is extremely overpriced for HDMI cables you can get quality ones for very good prices on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I have one of these, it is 4k compatible at 60hz, but it's not HDR compatible. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00S0C7QO8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsme Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erebus44 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 You should also look to make sure your video card supports that resolution at 60hz as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsme Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 It looks like it does. It's a UHD 610 (G4920 CPU) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsme Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 I ended up getting the adapter and 2.0 cable and it worked. Thanks for the help guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
