gebraset Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 It has been confirmed by an AMD representative on the OCUK Forums that the latest silicon from the processor and graphics card company will not support HDMI 2.0. The latest standard of the display technology offers ample bandwidth for 4K Ultra HD at 60Hz, but happens to be missing from AMD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 What a waste. I no longer care about this card for my desktop...I've been eyeing 60Hz 4K TVs for a while now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
capthowdy575 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 why in the world would they do this? I mean it's like shooting your self in the knee with a arrow. also I wonder if the nano will be the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Since they use the same GPU, I'd assume they Nano will fall short in the same way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 It is weird, wonder if freesync has any relation to this or what :/ At least it has DP capable of 4K 60hz but meh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
capthowdy575 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 I don't see this going good for amd since pc gamers running 4k care about refresh rate. also people have been holding out for this card for awhile now. I know I'm still waiting for skylark and all this monitor craziness to settle down first. I really want a curved display but I also want 144hz refresh rate lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm_freek Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 someone explain why hdmi 2.0 is a deal breaker? id just assume dp would be the preferred output. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I no longer care about this card for my desktop...I've been eyeing 60Hz 4K TVs for a while now. isn't dp superior ? and dp is cheaper because there is no royalty cost like as hdmi Edited June 21, 2015 by jdm_freek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 If you're connecting to a TV, HDMI 2.0 is preferred over DisplayPort 1.3, and full bandwidth on HDMI is able to be carried at longer distances than DisplayPort. So while DisplayPort has a higher bandwidth, it's limited to three meters, whereas HDMI can carry its full bandwidth up to ten meters. NVIDIA has HDMI 2.0 support with the GTX 900 series and TITAN X, so it's curious why AMD decided not to with the Fury cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp9801 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 There are people who use a TV as a monitor or have their computer connected to a TV in the living room for an HTPC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm_freek Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) There are people who use a TV as a monitor or have their computer connected to a TV in the living room for an HTPC. ok but correct me if i am wrong but a tv makes for a horrible monitor and not many people are going to buy an enthusiast gpu for a htpc it would be such a waste. the same goes for those who might buy this gpu for 1080p. i am going to spend $650 on a gpu its going to be because i have 4k monitor and the goes for the titan x why spend $1000 on a 12 gig gpu and mate it with a $200 1080p monitor such a waste hell they tested it at 12k @ 60hz im sure it can do 4k @ 60hz http://wccftech.com/amd-fury-x-tested-12k-60fps/ Edited June 22, 2015 by jdm_freek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
