I just bought a Westinghouse WC34DX9019 34" UWQHD 3440 x 1440 2K Resolution 100Hz 2xHDMI DisplayPort USB 3.0 Hub AMD FreeSync Technology monitor and it has 3 inputs. HDMI 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and a DP. My Zotac 750ti has HDMI and DP slots. What cable will give me the best performance of this monitor?
[SOLVED] Best connection type...

750Ti's HDMI is only v1.4 so only theoretically good for 4k30, although nVidia added a driver hack that allows 4k60 4:2:0 with only a few odd flickers in things like Control Panel. So the Displayport is best even though it's not Freesync capable (requires v1.2a that arrived on GTX 10xx)
Gaming performance isn't that bad at 1080p lowest settings for most of the latest games, which should look fine on a 4k monitor no matter how bad its scaler is. The card is clearly more comfortable at 720p with such games though and that should look OK at 1440p
It's actually high res video that's the biggest problem unless you have a powerful CPU (Athlon II X3 won't cut it), as it can only fully hardware accelerate H.264. Youtube 4k is presently VP9 (which requires GTX 950 or newer to hardware decode, 1030 works too but is slower in games than 750Ti) and using H264ify plugin essentially removes all high resolutions from Youtube. It has H.265 hardware assist but there's no H265ify because Youtube doesn't use it. Of course Google is moving to AV1 which would require RTX 3xxx to hardware decode, but none of those cards fit into 75w

I guess I should update my profile.... Ryzen 2700x is my processor. MSI 470x gaming mobo. I was rocking an AsRock 580rx card but it died. 750ti is a good back up. Might look to find a 1050 or 60ti. Thank you all for your comments I am using the DP slot so I will continue that until I upgrade the graphics card again. Which at the current prices WIL BE A LONG TIME.

A 220v gpu? Lol, no such thing. All gpus use 12vDC, 220v is psu AC input.
More than 10 sold? And only 1 feedback in the last 12 months.
A gtx1080ti FTW3 for $103? Even Linus Tech tips genuine gamer gpu club whom is selling gpus for MSRP or less wouldn't go that low.
If this is an honest deal, you're probably looking at 1 of multiple cards that's been sitting on a massively used mining operation for the last 3 years, and the owner has upgraded his racks and dumping old cards before they fail. Nobody else will have 10+ FTW3 for sale with 10 already sold.
Caveat Emptor...

The post was fraud and was removed. I think other scams are out there as people are losing their minds over this video card shortage. Sad to see the used card sellers gouging the $#!+ out of everyone. I'll hold our for better.
Ebay refunded. I am obviously in the market for a video card and I'm probably in the wrong thread but after reviewing the numbers I'm confused as to whether or not the 1660 or 1660ti cards are really that great. Seems they aren't any better than a 1070 or 1070ti. Is a 1060 or a 1060ti still a competitive card? RX 390?
