Guys I need your help on something because it's imperative that I find the source of the issue finally.
So I use my 4k TV substantially to play some PC games through HDMI 2.0.
While my gpu has HDMI 2.0 and I can connect it easily on my 55UB850V and output 60Hz@2160p, I have frequent intermittent signal loss for a fraction of a second or sometimes a whole sec and then the picture comes back. This usually happens when I play, I don't recall having this issue on desktop. And I tried to use my gpu at stock clocks, because I thought that maybe it only happens when the card is o/ced but it happens at stock clocks as well.
Unfortunately I don't have Display Port to check on TV, but on my monitor DVI and DP work fine with this card.
This happens only when I connect it to my TV.
Is this due to the fact that HDMI 2.0 cable has its "issues" with such high bandwidth, because I don't think that the gpu hdmi 2.0 port is an issue. This has happened with another gpu that we tested here and hooked it up to my TV before.
So could this be an issue with the TV port or plain HDMI bandwidth issues?
And if it's the latter do you have any ideas on how to eliminate the signal loss, it gets really frustrating when I play on TV through my PC and I have them. Do I need a better quality HDMI 2.0 cable, or should I check something else?
Thanks in advance for any help
GPUS tested are Geforce 970 and 980Ti.
