Can any gtx 1030 do 4k 60hz?

[Iris Zizka]

Are there any gtx 1030 cards out there that DONT have hdmi 2.0 spec and/or can't handle 4k 60hz?

I was looking at this

On paper, yes. But without HDMI, it will be limited @ 30 Hz with 4k...

According to the geforce website, it should support 8k without a problem: https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-1030/specifications

However, the AIB partner cards probably don't have the latest gen connectors on there if you can't find any with the 2.0 spec. So yeah 4k 30hz seems to be the max. Unless you find one with displayport.

FYI, the GT 1030 is very low for a 4k display, not even as powerful as an IGPU. So it's ONLY good for regular desktop apps, don't even think about running 4k videos at all, it doesn't have the power to do it.

uhh... so youre saying some of them only have hdmi 1.4 spec?

Actually, it is limited to 24

HDMI 1.4 introduced the kind of bandwidth required to deliver 4K video, but HDMI 2.0 can dole out 4K video without compromise, at 50 and 60 frames per second. In HDMI 1.4, the rate of 4K was limited to 24 frames per second.

GT 1030 is a fair bit more powerful than a typical iGPU (e.g. Intel HD 530), and has a built in HEVC decoder that supports hardware decoding of 4K/60fps video.

Good to hear, I thought the GT 1030 was like the GT 730 just a bit more powerful and on a newer architecture.

https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/GT1030-2G-CSM/specifications/ The asus site doesn't give hdmi max res so it's unclear if it's 2.0. Newegg just put the max as 1200p just because the asus site doesn't say otherwise. You may need to contact asus to see if it is 2.0.

The 1030 is a lot more powerful than a hd 530 which can do 2 4k monitors with videos on each. It's around a 750 and common igpus are not that powerful.

I have not heard of a GT 1030 that does not have HDMI 2.0b. Not saying it isn't possible, but it would be kind of crazy. One of the big selling points for a card like that is home theater use, and why would you gimp the HDMI output for that?
