Windows 10: Need help with HDMI 2.0 CABLE

so bassicly i have my laptop connected to monitor and my monitor is 165HZ but with normal HDMI cable i get only 120HZ so if i buy the HDMI 2.0 cable and plug it into my monitor and laptop will it have 165HZ?and u might be wondering "just get the display port cable" i have it but there is no hole for it in the laptop only for HDMI so will HDMI 2.0 work to 165HZ?

:)

 

Why exactly is ATi considered be better at HDMI?

I plug my HDMI cable into the card, then into my TV. Those are the steps that I have to do. All the steps you list make absolutely no sense to me.

 

HDMI Cable

Hi Quinten,

For us to isolate your concern with the HDMI cable, we would like to know the following:

• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
• Is this the first time you experienced the issue?
• Are you getting any error messages? If yes, What is the exact error message?
• Have you tried using your HDMI to other devices? If yes, what is the result?
• To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We look forward to your response.

 

HDMI cable not detected by computer

I want to connect to a monitor or TV with HDMI. No signal to either. Monitor says "no signal coming from your computer".

I have tried with no success:

• HDMI directly into Nvidia 980 HDMI slot
  
• HDMI directly into motherboard slot, Intel i6700k with integrated graphics
  
• HDMI indirectly into HDMI(female)-to-Displayport(male) adapter, into Nvidia 980 Displayport slots
  

I have verified:

• Cable plugged into second computer, connected fine to monitor and TV
  
• Tried different HDMI cable, same results on both computers
  
• Displayport slots on Nvidia 980 work on monitor with DP-mDP cable
  
• Both monitor and TV are 4k. Output is 4k on other computer, and 4k using Displayport on this computer.
  
• Used newest graphics driver for Nvidia 980
  
• Used old graphics driver (2020) for Nvidia 980
  

All cases, other computer connected successfully and this computer received "no signal"

Other than the hardware checks and the driver checks, I am not sure what other steps I should try.

Since it applies to both Nvidia 980 and motherboard, and since Displayport works but HDMI through Displayport doesn't work, I feel like there is some issue in the computer working with HDMI signals.

Thanks, Ahmad
