Question 4k @ 60fps HDMI limiting factor when connected to Intel i3-9100 @24hz ?

[Nine Layer Nige]

Scenario: I am watching a 4k @ 60fps youtube video on a 4k capable 60 inch 120hz TV via HDMI from a Mini PC that has an Intel i3-9100 which displays max output of 4096 x 2304 @ 24Hz.
Question - - - I know that FPS is not related to Hz but will I be missing less than half of the frames of the video as the CPU is the limiting factor in the 24hz or is there a lot more to this ?

That is the limitation. HZ and FPS are almost used interchangeably when talking about video resolutions even though there are technical differences.

Not so sure you will actually see the problem just watching videos. Even then there a lot of argument about how many FPS human eyes can really see. Most the scientific testing says 24fps but all the so called "competitive" gamer who think they were born on krypton and have eyes better than any other human insist they can see 600fps.

It all doesn't really matter that is a limitation of the cpu chip embeded IGPU when you use HDMI. You can't do much so why worry about it. The only thing I would be careful of is if the tv can not natively run at 24hz. If it is expecting 30 fps and you only give it 24 on the input it is hard to say what it does.

What you may notice is sluggish cursor movement @ 24hz. using the igpu.

4K video is not 4096x2304 resolution. It is 3840x2160. The Intel ARK shows the i3-9100 is "4k capable (3840x2160) at 60FPS. See the GPU section -- https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...to-4-20-ghz/specifications.html?wapkw=i3-9100

What is the motherboard?
I suspect that is the limiting factor.
CPU-Z will tell you.

It's not so much about how much the human can see but how much lagging and ghosting the monitor has.
This site was made for that reason and you can easily notice a huge difference in how stable the movement looks between 30 and 60 fps.
Also the scientific thing you talk about says that anything above 24 the human brain can make you seem like motion in contrast to a sequence of stills, they don't make any comment about higherer=smootherer or not.

4096 is a TV monitor spec not PC. My Samsung TV's are set for 4096x2160. Not a big gamer, I set that resolution for PC's.
