Nvidia new driver enables 4k@60HZ via hdmi

[TerryMathews]

yes

Failing to see why it's Nvidia's fault your monitor transmits incorrect EDID. Sounds like you need to ask your monitor vendor for a firmware upgrade.

People thinking that it's not for marketing purpose. Check this post from a High-End enthousiasts:

So is that mean my Titan sli set up can run hdmi 2.0 ?
I'm kind of lost didn't quite understand!

They want to get those customers, the ones ignoring the real truth.

Not sure there are a lot of normal joe's with 4k monitors at this point...

Yeah but if you have the choice between a AMD R9 290x with HDMI 1.4b and a GTX 780 which the consumer might believe is a HDMI 2.0 card, the consumer will choose the HDMI 2.0 card even if he doesn't have a 4k panel.

Marketing 101.

Another cheat / hack from one of our favorite GPU company.

I think the lesson here is to use DP until HDMI 2.0 is released. DP has been superior for some time anyway, so I really don't get why a lot of people use HDMI other than for HTPC or as a secondary connection.

so, your opinion is that Nvidia shouldn't have created this feature which benefits early adopters because it might lead to market confusion?

That's a ridiculous assertion. I ask you again, can I get a list of features you don't approve of so we can work on getting them depreciated?

What? This is really on the edge of trolling.
