I guess everyone who wants to use their 4k TV's at 60Hz will have to opt for the Green team, then.

or get an adapter

well, there you have it! straight from horse's mouth

 

Boo hoo.  Let's face it, if you're running 4K 60Hz, you probably have a DP compatible monitor.

Before people say "just use DP cable anyway", consider the users who want to connect a long HDMI 2.0 cable to their 4K TV for gaming.  Sure, 30 FPS is fine for House of Cards, but it is incredibly disappointing to be capped at 30 FPS on your awesome new 4K TV.  If TV's had DisplayPort in vast quantities, then the lack of HDMI 2.0 on video cards is not an issue.  This is not the case.

i so dont care about HDMI lol, it's high end GPU for PC Gaming, displayport is the way to go.

ppl who play on TV doesn't deserve such high end GPU, a low-mid range should be enough :D

But TVs are awful for gaming, horrible lag due to the image processing, and generally slow panels (8ms+).

I prefer not to have wasted spots on my gpu. I will never disgrace my rig by trying to play games at 30HZ. If I wanted to do that. I would get a console 

Test ideas by experiment and observation; build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail; follow the evidence wherever it leads and question everything.

And here I was hoping for DVI-D :). I wanna push 120hz frames on all games, and also my TV's HDMI. Dumb move by AMD they could've added the ports

Yeah, I'm also surprised that it does not have HDMI 2.0. We are slowly starting to see more TVs supporting HDMI 2.0

TVs don't even go above 60hz, say it says 120hz it just displays the same image twice to make you think it's 120hz, there are very few tvs that are actually 120hz, less then 8 I think.

most 4k tvs don't support 60fps at 4k, they are usually upscaled 30hz. and hdmi 2.0 sacrifices colour for 4k 60fps, cause it doesn'T have enough bandwidth for 4k 6fps with chrome 4.4.4

You got me wrong, I've got a monitor that uses 120hz with DVI-D and a TV with HDMI

But the Fury already has a single HDMI output. It being 2.0 instead wouldn't waste any slots at all.

Who still uses HDMI?

My monitor only has HDMI and DVI. Also use HDMI on TV for PS3/4 and laptop for movies.

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.
