woodsy15 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Hey there wonderful community. Starting a new cab build for myself, have been out of the game for 7-8 years so lots of new things to learn. I picked up a gaming PC at a great price, looking to do a 4K build and hoping for 120hz on the 43" TV eventually. Debate aside around 60 vs 120 etc. just wondering about connections i5 10400F 2.9Ghz MSI H410M-PRO MB 16 GB DDR4 Ram 250GB SSD OS Drive 1TB content drive (rpm drive) Win11 Ghost Spectre installed PNY Geforce 2060 6GB Ram Video card The 2060 seems like enough to do 4K so hoping things will work well The 2060 has a Display Port, HDMI, and a DVI connector Motherboard video has HDMI, DVI built-in I know whatever 43" LCD TV (120) I purchase will not have Display Port 32" TV for BG 15" for DMD So I am expecting HDMI for the 43" TV, is there any advantage to using a Display Port > HDMI adapter cable from the 2060 to the 43" TV? Am I better to use HDMI > HDMI for the 43"TV? Save the DP conversion for the 32" due to any limitations? DVI > HDMI could be used for the 15" DMD without much stress I am guessing Have not explored the MB BIOS much yet, but currently it seems the motherboard video is disabled in favor of the 2060 on startup. In the past Cabs I used the MB onboard VGA for DMD where the MB allowed PCIe and onboard VGA to function simultaneously... Thanks all for any advice as I try to get my cab building sea-legs back 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoYoda Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 If you're using a 4k TV and HDMI from a 2060 you're using HDMI 2.0... this is maxed out at 4k/60 It wont display 4k/120. You need HDMI 2.1 for that (both TV and GPU). This is why a lot of people use Monitors as DP has been able to do120 for longer. Adapters wont help. You could drop the resolution down to 1440p 120 and see if the TV just does an upscale but that will introduce lag... See here https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/audio-video/hdmi/hdmi-versions.php for HDMI specs "DVI > HDMI could be used for the 15" DMD without much stress I am guessing" - Correct. no issues here at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
