need help

[prajwal007]

Hey guys
this is my first build
i am going for
GPU- zotac gtx 980 amp extreme edition
Monitor-samsung 28d590ds/xl led monitor

The problem is connectivity
monitor has displayport and hdmi
the gpu has displayport, hdmi and dvi

suggest me cable on newegg

HDMI is limited to 30Hz @ 4K, HDMI 2.0 can reach 59/60Hz @ 4K but you are looking at $60+ cables alongside that this Sammy doesn't even have an HDMI 2.0 port so it really doesn't matter as you are limited to ONE choice only... Displayport.

suggest me a displayport to displayport cable (name model) which is available on newegg
it should support 4k
i will be doing high end gaming like BF4 and cod advanced warfare

Please suggest one

Just use HDMI to HDMI or displayport to displayport.

Bingo, no need to make anything more complicated. Just use the cable for the port that you want to use.

If i'm not mistaken really the only difference between displayport and HDMI is HDMI includes sound.

Any displayport will do at newegg. There isn't really difference AFAIK.

Exactly, just get one that fits your length requirements. If you can buy from monoprice it will probably be cheaper than newegg.

The monitor should include a DisplayPort cable.

That monitor is a 4K panel that does 60Hz, so you will want to use a Displayport cable.

Yep. Use the DP cable that comes with it.

I love how we have tech with acronyms like DP and DVDA. Hilarious. Anyways, as I said in your other thread, OP, you can put everything in ONE thread so that people can see the big picture and actually help you. I've seen at least 3 threads from you that are all related. What is the point of that? Just put everything into one thread and leave it that way. Only make another thread if it is unrelated to your build.
