[SOLVED] 4k resolution

[moyski]

I have a LNIK8PG desktop. Is it possible to set it to 4k resolution?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You might want to list the specs to your system like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

We can move forward from there.

Welcome to Toms Hardware @moyski !

Listing your full specifications will help alot, but as a quick straight-forward answer, as long as you have a Display Port 1.2 port, cable and a 4k monitor, it is able to support 4k

Desk top LNIK8PG

Intel HD Graphics 630 should be able to do 4k over HDMI 1.4 at 24 Hz or at 60 Hz with display port.

Unfortunately i can not find any more information on "LNIK8PG". Is this a prebuilt PC? Maybe there is some other model number available? Or maybe you can find the make and model of the motherboard?

I put in an extra SSD. The original specs were:

LNIK8PG
Intel i7-7700
4.2 GHz
16 GB RAM
C 231GB SSD
E 1.8 GB HD

Sorry but i think we would need to have the model number of the motherboard to determine what kind of ports you have available.

Can you maybe download CPU-Z and list whatever you get under the motherboard tab?

 

[moyski]

my motherboard is ASUS PRIME Z270-P

my motherboard is ASUS PRIME Z270-P

- Supports HDMI 1.4b with max. resolution 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz


So you would be able to get 4K trough the HDMI port in the motherboard. Though that refresh rate is a bit meh.

Good. Will my graphics card handle it?

Well it will handle the resolution it self. But playing 4K video's, i'm not actually sure. It might actually be ok at that refresh rate.

Gaming at 4K?` - Not even close.

Is HDMI the best. (I also have a DP cable)

 

[Spaceghaze]

There is no DisplayPort on that MB. If you mean DVI-D, it will only give you max 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz.

It is driving the monitor fine now at 4k, but the frames per second isn't very good. Even playing spider solitaire the motion is very few frames.

Yes 24 Hz refresh rate is not much to brag about. How are videos?
