Hi guys im thinking of buying the samsung 40inch 4k tv
as i know it has hdmi 2.0
now the question is does my sapphire 290 tri x oc support this hdmi 2.0? Or is there a driver that supports it?
 
You'd be unlikely to have a happy gaming experience with just one 290x on a 4k TV anyway to be honest.

At the moment, if you have a 4k TV your only real option for playable framerates is 2x 980's in SLI IMO.

Personally I'd wait for the next set of GPU's if you are gaming on 4k TV's.

sapphire vapor-x 8GB would be better choice over the 980's for 4K.
 
Lol bloody annoyin 2 find out my 290 wont be hdmi 2.0 compatible i only upgraded a few months back from a gtx 680 grrrrr
 
4k TV's do support HDMI 1.0 as it's all backwards compatible.

But you need HDMI 2.0 to achieve 4k resolutions at 60hz.

Otherwise at HDMI 1.4 you are stuck at 30hz, which is pretty useless.
 
Some 4K TVs don't even support HDMI 2.0 so those models you'd never be able to drive at 60hz. I'm surprised the 980/970 support it even as HDMI 2.0 support is a long way down the list of priorities.

There is some talk of 4K TVs with DP but not followed up on it to see if any are actually coming out.
