4K@60Hz not possible, just 1440p@30Hz

Hi,

I have a Acer Aspire V15 Nitro BE VN7-572G-50NJ from 2016 with an IGP Intel HD Graphics 520 and dedicated Geforce 945m. Not the best in the world, I know.

I just bought a Philips 276e8vjsb for my PS4 Pro, but wanted to use the Display on my Notebook too. I just cant get 4K@60Hz to work on it though. While up to 1440p@60Hz seems possible, I only get the option to use 30Hz at 4K resolution. I tried to find out why, and it seems that my HDMI Port version is the problem, since its too slow (?). I tried to find a workaround by using my USB-C 3.1 Gen1 Port to connect the Display by DP 1.2, but it seems that USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 is just marketing bamboozle and just a plain USB 3.0 Port, which means that it would be too slow for 4k@60HZ too?


Would be nice if someone could clear this up for me, I read so many things, that Im just confused now. Is there a way to use this monitor at 4K with 60Hz? Maybe with an Adapter or something else?

 

Thanks

No. A converter can't magically invent frames it doesn't receive.
