Burning Typhoon on 25 March 2017

I have a GPU on my PC.  I have a new 4K TV... 50 inches.  Displayport on my GPU..  Obviously no display port on HDTV.  How do I get displayport to get 60 FPS on my 4K TV?...  Right now, it's 4096 x 2160 30, or 1920 x 1080 60.  No good.  I need 4096 x 2160 60.  Can I use a displayport to HDMI?  No HDMI 2.0 on my GPU.

I have an R9 390X but upgrading to GTX 1080 Ti in april.

Please help.  I need 60 FPS...  Obviously not for gaming on my R9 390x (anything above 20 FPS would be a miracle at that res, lmao), but to stop the stuttering with everything else (web browsing, youtube, twitch, everything else) on my 4k TV.  Price was a steal with all the features, and quality of the TV, for 561 dollars total.  Wtf... M series Vizio from best buy, in case anyone is curious. 100% new.  Not referb, or anything.  Incase you're wondering why I didn't just get a 4k monitor with displayport.

Again, please help.

I'm not sure, but I think you need an active adaptor from DP1.2 to HDMI 2.0. One like this:

:(  it doesn't say 4098 x 2160, but 3840 x 2160.

Which is the same resolution as your TV. 4K tv's don't have the correct aspect ratio for 4K. So Ultra HD is a more accurate definition for 4K tv's. A passtrough that supports 4098x2160 probably also supports 3840x2160 since it has a lower pixelcount.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

?  My TV is 4096 x 2160, according to my PC.  3840 x 2160 images actually have black bars on the left and right.  Not the case with images that are 4096

you're not even curious about Vega and wait a bit just to see if it is worth anything against the TI?

No.  I've waited long enough for Ryzen 7 1800x.  Vega will either be slightly worse, or comparible to the Ti, (I think) and I can get the Ti sooner.

It was an example of an active adapter, it doesn't need to be this one.

Appearently Visio is (practically) the only brand that seems to do this. I don't know if there adapters available up to true 4k since its a platform that receives very few videosupport. Netflix and Ultra HD blu ray don't support it for instance, since those are limited to 3840. HDMI 2.1 should support it though a motherboard with HDMI 2.0 should also do the trick. It will also support HDR.

Of course not.  And thanks.  I ended up going with this:

@Qwark,  It's okay.  I was kinda wanting an ultra wide anyway, and I kinda feel like I got one.  Without those extra pixels, there wouldn't be any black bar, there would just be "no tv taking up that space."  I'll take the black bars, because when I switch back to my PC monitor, I get more screen space, and I do get to use it for something.  More is better.
