GTX 1060 3GB - touching HDMI cable loses signal / disconnects from monitor

[Spike_3]

Just bought the GTX 1060 3GB and it's working fine, getting 4K @ 60HZ 4:4:4 connected to Sony XBR49x830c.

However, merely touching the HDMI cable will cause the signal to be lost for a few seconds. I have the cable plugged in as secure as I can get on both ends, but to no avail, signal is lost by the slightest pressure on cable.

The DVI-D connection to another monitor works fine, I can tug/pull that cable and don't lose signal/connection at all.

And the same HDMI cable works fine when connected to my laptop so I've narrowed the problem down to the GTX 1060 graphics card HDMI output.

Anyone else having this issue, is this a problem with the card?

In case anyone else has this issue. I got the Club Display port 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 UHD adapter and run HDMI cable through that and it works fine now. Sucks that the HDMI port is crappy on this card though, display port works fine though.

There is more of a handshake for HDMI then DP or DVI
