4K TV only displaying 1080p when connected to PC?

I own an HTC VIVE (original) which I hook into my gaming PC to play, which I then hook into a TV in my basement to show everyone what I'm seeing. However, my PC is only outputting 1080p to my 4K TCL TV and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it? Both my Display Settings and NVIDIA Control Panel say that the maximum resolution supported is 1080p. My PC uses a GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition so I don't have any worries about my card not being able to supply said resolution so I'm thinking it might just be my cable? I'm using an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter which converts DP from my GPU to HDMI which goes to the TV as my VIVE uses my only HDMI port. I attempted hooking my VIVE into my DisplayPort adapter and the TV into native HDMI but it would not allow my VIVE to turn on. Thoughts?

does the tv work at 4k when the hdmi port on the 1080ti is used?

 

I think you need a dp to hdmi 2.0 adapter.

It would appear not. I'll look into an HDMI 2.0 adapter or HDMI 2.0 cable. Thanks
