does my 780 support hdmi 2.0

[pagani123]

question in the title not sure if its just a software upgrade or hardware for hdmi 2.0

[thekeemo]

No

[KemoKa]

Pretty sure it's hardware. It's a different controller they're using afaik. Nothing you can do to upgrade it. Besides, you'll not be playing 4K games on a 780 over HDMI. If you're running 4K, it'll be using DisplayPort.

no only maxwell v2 cards (950/960/970/980/980 ti) support it

no it does not, i believe if you want 4K 60FPS output you'll have to use display port.

i dont think any tv use display port

[pagani123]

i can probably live with 30 fps for some games on the tv any idea when pascal is coming out 

[i_build_nanosuits]

Use dispaly port to hdmi.

^^ this if you use a TV

[pagani123]

Use dispaly port to hdmi.

awsome i will be able to play 4k 60fps thanks

[ANewFace]

nope

HA HA HA

 

....on a 780.....

Good luck with that. Let us know how it goes.

i mean i will have the ability to get up to 60 fps i could probably get 40 or 50 seeing my 1440p monitor gets 70 on high settings

1440 is roughly 3.7 million pixels

4k is roughly 8.3 million pixels

 

You think that you're going to get a 25% - 30% drop in framerate with your card trying to push 2.25 times more pixels ? You''l be lucky to get 20 fps.

 

The general consensus is that for single card gaming in 4k at high settings on modern games, you're looking at a Titan X (maybe a 980Ti)

never said high settings i would do medium settings and once pascal comes around ill upgrade my gpu

At which point it won't matter if you can do HDMI 2.0 of a 780

 

And please, I am genuinely curious. Why do feel it makes for sense to run a game at medium graphics settings at a barely playable frame rate in 4k than it does to play the same game at high/ultra settings and a rock solid 60fps in 1080?

the reason i dont use 1080 is because i can see the pixels. i have the rog swift (1440p) which i get 70fps on so ill use that for most of the gaming i just want to be able to go above 30fps on a 4k tv that's mounted above my monitor. i will mostly use it for tv and movies so its not like its my only monitor.

[braneopbru]

The point is that you can not go above 30fps on a 780 at 4k with reasonable quality levels. Turn it down to medium or low and you might be able to push out 40 something, but your game is going to look like shit because all the eye candy is turned off. 

 

It's not the number of pixel that make a game look great, it's the quality of those pixels. It's the effects; the lighting, the shadows, the reflections and all the little details. Whatever man, do whatever you want. If you want to play a game with 2006 graphics at 4k resolution, you go right ahead.

The 780 supports DisplayPort 1.2, which only adapts to HDMI 1.4, not 2.0.

[Glenwing]

Didn't know that.  But, couldn't he still game at 4k with the 780 by using that cable, or 2.0 required?

 

You could, but it would only go up to 30Hz like the native HDMI 1.4 port on the card, so he might as well use that.

damn

[pagani123]

I think he said that he could live with that.

ya it would only be for a little while until pascal comes

I've seen a CRT television with DVI so anything's possible.

[Glenwing]

I think he said that he could live with that.

 

He asked whether he'd be able to get 4K 60fps with a DP-to-HDMI adapter, that's what I was answering.

[braneopbru]

I've had my PS3 plugged in to a 16:9 CRT via HDMI with the resolution set to 1080i.

 

Anything is possible.
