[SOLVED] What do I need to display 3840 x 2160 on my new monitor?

[johnr283]

I just bought this monitor:Samsung A700 Series 27" IPS LED 4K UHD Slim Monitor with HDR Black LS27A700NWNXZA - Best Buy.
My current Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 has and HDMI and DVI output. The HDMI runs to my TV. Will a DVI to HDMI or DVI to DP adapter be able to display 3840 x 2160 on the new monitor or will I need a different GPU?

HDMI supports 4k.
DVI single link (GT1030 has single link) supports up to 2560 × 1600.

No 4k via DVI for you. Sorry.

Without some additional information that isn't a clean answer. The card may have dual link dvi or single link. Single link won't push 4k and dual link will only push 30hz, so the monitor may run, but not optimally. In addition to this the card itself will not push 4k very well, even if you have a pretty decent cpu which isn't listed. The HDMI interface is probably 2b which is able to push 4k at 60hz. Again though the card will more than likely not be able to push 60fps in most games at 4k anyways so that isn't really going to be the bottleneck. Reasonably high framerate 4k didn't really become a thing at the mainsteam nvidia part numbers until pretty recently. Because of this gamers in that generation that had 4k monitors down rezed to keep framerates up while playing games.

The DVI is single link, which for a resolution at 60Hz is limited to 1920x1200.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/gt-1030/specifications/ Also if anyone has questions regarding the DVI type, NVIDIA states both versions are single link.

Ok, I guess I'll buy a new GPU.
