Question Support for two 5120 x 2880 Asus PA27JCV monitors at 60 Hz refresh

[davebtw]

I just took delivery of two Asus PA27JCV monitors and want to run them at full 5K resolution of 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz. My RTX 3060 cannot support that resolution. I am willing to purchase a new graphics card, but since the max refresh is only 60 Hz I may not need a top gaming GPU. I have tried to find a selector guide for NVIDIA based cards but have come up short., The AI algorithms say that a 4060 might work but a 4070 would be better. Do I need that much horsepower even when not gaming?

I will be using this workstation for music publishing, photo scanning and video up conversion and editing.

Any suggestions will be very welcome!!!

Stuck at 30Hz then?

You'll need a card that supports DisplayPort 2.0 at least or HDMI 2.1

So, doesn't have to a massively expensive GPU.

RX 6600 would work for HDMI, RTX 4060 as well.

DisplayPort 2.1 you would need an Intel B570 or B580 or a shiny new RTX 50 series or RX 9070 /9070 XT.


Certainly won't hurt to have a faster GPU for video up converts.

I am looking at a RTX 4060 and yes the video upconverts would help as well. I already use hardware encoding from my 3060. Some answers I have gotten say the 4060 is not fast enough, that at least a 4070 is needed. But I am not a gamer so would that matter?

It really shouldn’t matter for anything but gaming. As long as the gpu can output at that resolution and refresh rate you’ll be fine running those screens.

A faster gpu would potentially help with faster video encoding as noted above, but it won’t make a difference in being able to run the displays: it either can or it can depending on the hdmi/displayport version it comes with.
