Which 5M Cable/interface?

Hi All

this seems like the best place to ask. I'm contemplating a PC upgrade, and once thats done, i may be in the market for a fast monitor.

At the moment, i'm gaming sat in front of a plasma with a mouse and keyboard on a piece of wood. Actually works pretty well, but obviously not ideal.

To move to gaming on the dining room table, i'd need to run a cable, 5 meters, or 4 at a push, from the PC to the table.

The other option is to make the PC more portable during the upgrade. its already as small as i can make it without changing the GPU to a smaller one, and/or the PSU to a SFF.

The cable would be easier.

So my GPU is a GTX1070, and according to the specs from NVIDIA (ASUS dont make any statements about it from what i can see) it has:

DP 1.4*, HDMI 2.0b, DL-DVI

* DisplayPort 1.2 Certified, DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 Ready.

Monitor is likely to be either 1080p or 1440p @ 144hz

2xHDMI
2xDP
1xDVI

Am i likely to get that over 5 meters? Anyone got any experience with this? is DP or HDMI better for this?

Thanks

ive just double checked, 4 meters should be enough

Ive made a bit of progress. I found that startech and club3d have displayport cables that are certified by vesa at 4m and maybe 5m in the case of startech.

The reviews seem postive too. They are significantly more expensive. I think i saw the club3d 4m one for 30 quid ish, which isnt a deal breaker if it works reliably.

I didnt get as far as hdmi

Thanks guys.

Who certifies the hdmi cables? Vesa? Or someone else? Self certification maybe?

Ill check out KabelDirekt, ive have something from them before.

Cheers
