Will I be able to use my PC with a 4K tv that has HDMI 2.0 and 60hz?

I have a GTX 780, but wouldn't that also need an HDMI 2.0 port to be able to game at 60hz?

Apparently NVidia has a cheat way of increasing the frames.

Use dual dvi or display port.

The TV doesn't have dual DVI. Is there an adapter that would work?

hdmi will do all the tv can do. All tvs have ONLY a 60hz input the television itself upscales the hz or frames. That is why monitors are better for certain applications it can be a frame for frame representation. And hdmi can support that.

At the moment your options are pretty limited.
As Alpha alluded to, Nvidia has implemented a cheat that allows you to get 60Hz at 4K. Basically it reduces the colour space, so it's not a perfect solution. Apparently it's reasonable for video and gaming content, but looks pretty average for desktop and would be terrible for video or photo editing. Details are here: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-kepler-4k-hdmi-1.4,27117.html

Displayport 1.2 properly supports 4K @ 60Hz, but at the moment there are no DP to HDMI 2.0 converters. Given that the use-case your looking as is going to be increasingly common, I would expect these adapters to start appearing on the market in the not-too-distant future. I'd expect to pay a good deal of cash (like $100 +) if you're an early adopter though.

Unfortunately, at the moment your stuck with 4K @ 30hz, or accepting Nvidia's hack/cheat mode.

All 4K screen, TVs or Monitors, should be released with DP 1.2 in my opinion. If you're paying that kind of money for a next-gen device, it should come with the interfaces to actually properly use it!

Thanks for the info. I may pick one up now and wait on a new graphics card or adapter since I found a 2014 LG 4k smart tv with HDMI 2.0 that is similarly priced to its 1080p TVs.
