[SOLVED] How do I Output 4k to my 4k Ultra hd Tv with new workstation with Geforce RTX 2080ti Pallet TR3 system?

[spikeysonic]

I have just got a workstation built .

Threadripper 3960x, with a Geforce RTX 2080 ti Palit graphics card, 64gb ram so so has grunt.

I have a Samsung ue 6400 40 inch 4k TV, and with the new workstation got a BenQ pd3200Q quad definition colour accurate monitor.

The graphics card has 4 display ports. I have a display port conection to the BenQ monitor which is displaying

2560 x 1440 resolution.


I got a display port to hdmi cable to connect the TV which previously was connected to my laptop with a plain hdmi cable.


So why is the 4k TV which should have the highest resolution only displaying at 1920 x 1080 standard HD as opposed to 4k on the TV and quad hd on the monitor.


How do I get the TV displaying ultra 4k display resolution in hdr? and the monitor quad hd hdr?

What do the advanced display properties state in the settings menu?

are you sure the DisplayPort to HDMI converter can handle the bandwidth needed?

and have you set the correct output resolution and enabled HDR in Windows Display Settings and/or Nvidia Control Panel?

No idea on the cable/converter just brought one from a phone shop, what should I look for in the cable for bandwidth.

the requirements you need should be listed on the packaging for both the adapter and any separate cable you may be using with it: 4K / HDR capability.
older, lower bandwidth revisions may not support either.

How do I set hdr in the display settings and do I need Nvidia software to do it on the graphics card...

you should be able to set in either, but i would be sure it is set in both.

right-click on Windows desktop > Display settings.

download the standard driver package corresponding to your GPU = Nvidia Advanced Search.
and go through each page of options in Nvidia Control Panel and make sure everything is set correctly for both displays.

Why not use a true HDMI cable?

Very simple, I thought the fancy new workstation graphic card only had display port outputs, following your post I had a much closer look and feeling a bit ot a tit one of the ports was a hdmi port, so its fixed with said cable. 🙂 thought all four were display port
