I want to get a 4K monitor, but my motherboard doesn't support it.

This might be a dumb question, but I felt like I needed to ask anyway. So, I want to get a 4k monitor, but my motherboard says it only supports monitors with a resolution of up to 1920x1200. I don't plug my current monitor (1920x1080, by the way) into my motherboard anyway, I plug it in to my graphics card. I want to know if the 4k monitor will work, or be at 1920x1200, or something like that? Thanks.

What is your motherboard and graphics card?

If you have dedicated graphic card, it only matters if your GPU supports 4k.

If your graphics card supports 4k resolution, then you are good.

Also, look carefully at the connection options details.
Usually, you need a displayport connection for greater than 30hz support.

What is the make/model of your graphics card and of the 4k monitor?
