1070 - 4k from hdmi?

Yes it will. It’s a good card, very quiet but fairly heavy. I owned several of them.

Overkill for watching 4K movies though :)
 
It wont do 4K 10bit 4:4:4 chroma subsampling @ 60fps I think this is what you mean?

Edit* It may do actually as it is 2.0b HDMI but your panel may not, what TV/Monitor are you using?
 
I will do some gaming, but wasn’t specifically expecting 4k gaming.
However I have a 42” Samsung 6 Series 4k TV I use as the main display so wanted to be sure it was OK with that for general use - photo editing etc.
Like the massive desktop :)

I asked as I also was looking at a card with just displayports and couldn’t find a displayport to hdmi adpator that would do 4k @ 60hz.
They were either 4k @ 30hz or 1920x1200

I therefore wondered if there was some limitation on hdmi on graphics cards - if you followed all that!
 
Yes, HDMI has a bandwidth limitation. Only DisplayPort is capable of 4k60, as a general rule of thumb. It's the cable that's your limiting factor here, from a hardware perspective.
 
Ah, OK.
Checking a bit more with the above comments, if I double check the card itself has hdmi 2.0b output and make sure I use a 2.0b capable cable.
That should do it?
 
my laptop ( gtx1060 mobile card in it ) does 4K(UHD) @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4 @ 8bit* plugged into a 4k Sony Bravia 43" TV. You do have make sure you use one of the high-bandwidth 4K HDMI cables however. A cheapo one didn't manage the high resolution. There are loads of such cables available through the normal online channels.

No reason why your card wont do the same.

*10bit is not a selectable option on my settings when running the TV.
 
Cause if they are installed on a vertical motherboard, like most standard upright PC cases, the weight of the card can strain on the mainboard socket, and try and make the card sag on its un-fixed end.

I have no proof, but I had two 970GTX (one Zotac and one Palit) and both sagged badly in the motherboard. Both suffered from fan failure (bearings) earlier than they should do (Zotac perhaps to be expected) and I'm convinced it was because of the angle of the card and the fans running off the horizontal plane. It was only when the Palit went I noticed the sagging and I used a cable tie combo to support the end/corner of the card furthest from the PCI-E slot. That replacement fan was still going strong and had lasted 3 times longer than the original one when I upgraded to a 1070Ti, which also needs a cable tie mod to keep it level.

Anecdotal at best and I agree weight is irrelevant for GPU purchases, but if it does sag on the motherboard then that shouldn't be ignored IMO.

Any idea on the exact TV model? GPU will be fine for 4K @ 60Hz but it will also require the TV to have at least HDMI 2.0. A lot of older 4K TVs only have HDMI 1.4 which limits you to 4K @ 24Hz/30Hz.
 
Does anyone have any idea about HDMi and support for full 444, It baffles me, HDR baffles it, it's almost seems like leave it along and forget. GTX 1080, GTX1070, never been able to get the best settings, HDMi lead, tried 10m, 1m, multiple different once, TV is a SAMSUNG MU6400. I can't get more than 8bit, I can't do 444 FULL, HDR is washed out on the display and crashes the PC sometimes. God knows what's going on. (HDR looks fantastic on the PS4)

I've got a SAMSUNG MU6400 and 1070 GTX. 4k@60hz, 8 bit 444 full works fine though had to mess with nvidia settings and manualy force the TV to full as well.

Have had HDR working at 4k@60hz, 10 bit 422, worked ok in supporting games but Windows 10 didn't handle it well (looked washed out, and text not so crisp due to sub sampling). Think Windows 10 may handle a bit better now, but not tried it recently as it's a pain switching modes.

Ideally you want displayport 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 for 4k HDR. Still waiting for the hardware to catch-up, shame Nvidia didn't put Hdmi 2.1 on the new cards :(
