Monoprice Monitor Compatibility

Hello, all! Been a while since I posted last.

 

     I had a quick question about compatibility with this monitor: https://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=12156

I was wondering if this would be compatible with this card: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Graphics-384-Bit-03G-P4-3784-KR/dp/B00EM2JQ8E

Since it only has these ports: 1 DVI, 1 DVI-D, 1 HDMI, and 1 DP, I was wondering if the monitor would be able to run at 4K, 60Hz, since it requires 2 DP 1.2 outputs to do so. Would an adapter to the new HDMI solve the issue?

 

Thanks, all!

 

-Evan

 

EDIT: I'm wrong. It only needs one! Anyone have any good 1440p or 4K monitor recommendations?

Why would it require double DP 1.2? It'd have two ports so you could have two separate input devices.

 

You should be fine with one just DP to DP cable?

Sig under construction.

Why would you buy a 4K monitor, but not go for 144hz?

 

also, the GTX 780 cannot handle 4K gaming or video streaming, so do not waste your time buying it. the only good canidates for 4K is the R9 295x2, GTX 980TI, Titan X, and SLI/Crossfire of up to 2 generations back for graphics cards.

 

EDIT* Im not saying it cannot do 4K, but it will have horrible FPS, and with 60hz, good luck.

The monitor requires 2 DP 1.2 outputs to perform 4K @ 60 Hz (at least, Monoprice says so).

the 780 WONT even be able to do that ingame, if you have some 4K60fps movies you might be able to, but gaming nah

Computer's don't make errors. What they do, they do on purpose.

What other monitor would you recommend, then? I have $500 to spend on a new monitor. I'm currently using a 19" Dell 1440x900 monitor, so...

Edit: I reread the product page, and it seems to suggest you only need one DP 1.2 to run 4K @ 60Hz.

 

Does anyone have any good recommendations for either a 1440p or 4K monitor (60 Hz is fine)?

 

To explain my want for a 4K monitor: I don't want to have to upgrade my monitor for at least 4-5 years, and that one was only $400 with a stellar Tom's Hardware review. I was thinking of playing games in either 1440p or 1080p, and running the desktop in 4K.

I wouldn't worry about monitor, I would worry about your card. If you want 4K, get the 980ti, save some money for it. if you want 1080 gameplay, get the 780, and spend your budget on this:

I doubt even having a 1080p monitor is going to make you upgrade in a year or even 4 years. what you are doing, is looking in the wrong freaking place. your cool with 60hz, but do not want to upgrade in 4 years? does that make sense? your basically saying you would pick graphics over smoothness and FPS.

 

better hz means the longer you will have the monitor before cards overcome it's refresh rate.

Good point. I already have a 780, though.
