Will a 2.1 HDMI work with my gtx 1080? Or do I have to get the standard 2.0?

Just got the LG C1 55"

My graphic card with the current market still the GTX 1080. I have no hdmi around the house (no, I do not, I use display port for everything atm)

I was wondering if I the 2.1 HDMI would work as a 2.0 with the 1080. So I have the cable waiting for the new graphic card.

If you're asking if a cable rated for the HDMI 2.1 spec will work with a device rated for only HDMI 2.0 the answer is yes, it will just operate at the 2.0 spec.

Basically I just buy 1 good 2.1 HDMI. Use it with my gtx 1080 and I will have the cable for the new card. Which was my initial plan 馃檪

With a 2.1 cable you can do 1440p 120hz or 1080p 120hz. Both look great on an OLED.

For 4k 120hz you need a 30 series card.

Yes, as Hero mentioned. The cable will work as a standard 2.0 cable with the GTX 1080 if I understood right.聽
