GTX980 in 4k monitor

[jowdemanne]

Hey guys,

 

I just bought a new TV, the Samsung UE75MU7000. I connected this to many things, one of which is my computer. It has a GTX980 in it.

I also have Plex and Netflix. I want to play both from my computer to the screen and not the native apps because I like to watch things faster than 1x speed and sadly this isn't possible in any native app on the TV.

What I've noticed is, when I use plex and play it in the webplayer on my computer, displaying on the TV (set to 4k resolution) it is very choppy. Audio desyncs completely, even at 1x speed it's hard for it to follow. The image just can't keep up with the speed. When I use Netflix at 1.5x speed it can follow, audio never desyncs, I just don't get 4k (I think because the internet is not fast enough but I doubt that too).

Could this problem be because I have a GTX980? All posts I find talk about gaming on 4k, but I'm not gaming, just showing.

I doubt the GTX980 is not strong enough to drive a 4k TV but I honestly don't know what the problem could be.

Does anybody have any idea?

 

Kind regards.

Oh believe me a GTX 980 is plenty for 4k, you're having some other issue in here, you could DDU in safe mode and reinstall the drivers fresh new for the video card to rule it out completely as the guilty part however the issue seems coming from elsewhere, are you trying to watch Netflix in 4k? as far as I am concerned you need a Pascal or Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake hardware due to DRMs.

Oh god, I need Microsoft Edge for 4k netflix... Damn, I really wanted to watch everything at a faster pace, I hate watching at 1x speed, it's so slow...

Even then, it means I watch 1080p on a 4k monitor.

When I tried to play youtube 1440p at 1.5X it had a lot of problems keeping up, constantly desyncing the audio.

Edit: and it seems I need a new GPU indeed. A GTX 10XX series are a 7th gen Intel CPU.

Yes the sad part is that pirates can watch that 4k content w/e hehehe as always the legit user is the one push behind.
