I've got a Iiyama prolite B2888USHU-B1 that is connected via HDMI 2.0 cable to my 1060 6GB, however, the settings of the monitor only allow 1440p @60Hz or 4k @30Hz. Is there any way to set it to 4k @60Hz?

I believe the DP port on my 1060 may be damaged, but i do have a DVI port that is connected to a 2nd monitor at the moment. A possible solution might be to use a HDMI to DP/DVI converter? Or upscaling/downscaling?
 
Reading the specs, it indicates that to get 4k@60hz, you need to connect to the HDMI1 pot on the monitor, not the HDMI2.

dvi does not output sufficient bandwidth to allow a dvi to DP adapter to do what you want.

DP is really a good way to go.
Perhaps your DP cable is suspect or that it is not securely inserted.
 


It's not the DP, tried multiple cables of 1.1 and 1.2. Unfortunately the monitor still doesnt give me the option of putting the refresh rate at 60Hz
