Hi guys I was wondering .. I have a set up is capable of 4K gaming atleast I think so .. 

I7 8700 K overclocked to 4.8ghz 

32GB ram 

GTX 1080TI watercooled overclocked 

I have a Asus 2K monitor 144Hz which I use to play my games

I also have a 4K LG TV in the same room .. I was wondering can I play game at 4K res if I connect the pc to the TV will it give me at least 60Hz at 4K res also my TV only has HMDI connection no display ports. 

which cable do I need ? I mean HDMI TYPE :? what's the longest HDMI cable I can get as my TV is fairly far away from my pc .. there is no way I can get it closer .. so I do need a long cable around 8-10 Meters 

 

any help would be appreciated 

 

thank you

You need HDMI 2.0, which your GPU has.

 

The problem is that TVs could have rather long input lag, though that do vary between model.

Length doesn't matter with digital cables. Just get any standard HDMI 2.0 cable. That should be enough unless you're running HDR.

but for games like witcher 3 or assassin creed abit of lag shouldn't make much difference .. for First person shooter it does . I just wanted to test 4K  ..so HDMI 2.0 should be fine ,. thank you
