The monitor should have come with suitable cables, but I suppose you need a longer distance. As a note regarding your initial comment: HDMI cables don't have version numbers, but rather speed ratings, so there is no guessing game as to what a cable can handle. There is a certification process...

The GTX 1070 is limited to HDMI 2.0 spec, so 4K 120 Hz is not equivalent to 4K 120 Hz on your RTX 5070 Ti. For the GTX 1070 it would need to reduce the color format to YCbCr 4:2:0 to keep the bit rate below 18 Gbit/s. With the RTX 5070 Ti it would probably be trying to use RGB color, so double...

This is VGA ghosting, it happens with poor quality analog connections. It should go away when using HDMI-to-DVI connection though.

Probably just has a piezo beeper inside or something.

Please see Section 5.3.0 here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/how-to-connect-to-a-120-hz-display.3268285/post-20043090 If the graphics card has rear exhaust design then the cable will be heated by the air, but I doubt it would get more than 50–60 °C which shouldn't cause any problem.

Make sure the Scaling setting in the NVIDIA control panel is set to "Display", not GPU. View: https://i.imgur.com/xXc3ZYJ.jpg

If the GPU is the limiting factor then yes, but that's not always the case. You can just set your resolution to 1080p and find out what you get, you don't need to have a 1080p monitor.

As you lower the bit rate the quality will decrease, at some point it will become noticeable. I believe the claim is that it maintains visual lossless up to 3:1 compression ratio. So at standard 8 bpc color depth you can go down to the minimum 8 bit/px DSC (6 bit/px is only permitted for YCbCr...

Comparison would need to be done with still frames. It's not practical to compare with video except by seeing it in person, because you need to see the uncompressed video as a reference. Any video hosted online will be compressed with like 500:1 AVCHD so you'd never be able to use that to see...

I don't keep up much with the latest releases anymore so I can't help much with shopping recommendations. Not a helpful response I know, but didn't want you to feel ignored. The DSC algorithm is public and VESA provides a reference encoder for anyone to use. So if you'd like, I can compress any...

Timing can be left on default which is CVT-R2. CTA is generally used for TV formats, CVT was used for CRTs. DSC level will generally be set to tge minimum necessary to transmit the format. So you would start with off, and if you exceed the limits of the interface then you start at 16 bit/px and...

HDR itself doesn't factor into the calculation. It's just about whether you are transmitting with 8 bpc or 10 bpc color depth. 10 bpc with HDR is the same as 10 bpc without HDR for the purposes of calculating data rate. You can find the maximum refresh frequency with given settings by selecting...

The calculation is shown in the link, 30.77 Gbit/s. It is 1.19 times the 25.92 Gbit/s maximum.

Data rate for a display interface is a constant value that depends on the video format, it doesn't vary during usage. The maximum data rate of DP 1.4 is 25.92 Gbit/s. 2560×1440 at 240 Hz 10 bpc will exceed this...

DSC will be used automatically, only if the format cannot be transmitted uncompressed.
