I got my 4K Sony the other day and trying to get 4K output to the TV from my GTX-TITAN but it does’t like detecting it to go 4K in X (booting into windows allows me to ok)
I have 2 GTX-TITANS and have 30’’ Monitor connected via DVI port on card 1 and the TV is connected via the HDMI Port on card 1 as well.
Running…

The DVI port says max 330 Mhz but the HDMI says max 165 Mhz (not enough for 4K)

Is this a bug with the TV reporting via EDID incorrect information (ie I should report to Sony) or the Nvidia Driver? If EDID reports wrong how does window know to support it?
Still doesn’t explain why the HDMI is limited to 165 Mhz and won’t allow (without entering lots of options) 4K output over the HDMI. the Nvidia Windows Drivers has no trouble doing 4K over HDMI Port.
Nividia created 4k support in their 319.23 drivers and newer but it isn’t proper. The HDMI port should be capable of 340 Mhz and the driver will do this perfectly stable (on my 50 inch seiki) but unfortunately the driver still reports back that the max pixelclock of the display is only 165 Mhz so you have to use some modeline verification overrides to make it work. At the very least I would use these:
This insures that none of the EDID settings on the monitor will prevent a 4k mode from being used as well as the max pixel clock being reported by the driver which is totally wrong which nvidia has not fixed and to allow non 60Hz modes to be used (for 24hz, 30hz, etc…)
At least (at the moment) 4K out of the Box without the options/modeline addition via the DVI port works 100%
Now to wait until my Sony gets its HDMI 2.0 upgrade at the end of the year and then of course wait until someone puts out a new graphics cards which does HDMI 2.0
I don’t see how this worked at all without halving the horizontal (or was it vertical?). You need ~300 Mhz of pixelclock to run 3840x2160@30Hz. On DVI anything over 165 Mhz uses dual-link DVI it uses dual TMDS not single like HDMI (HDMI is only ever single TMDS even @ 300Mhz).
I wouldn’t be surprised if you got a picture but it would not be correct. I know my seiki will display a picture using a DVI → HDMI adapter but it will just be like 1920x2160 or some weird resolution where your losing half the resolution and text looks like crap.
The only way to drive these monitors at their full resolution/refresh rate is with a native HDMI port or display port → HDMI adapter, usually active only (which is what I had to use on windows funny enough).
Now I was able to do 17Hz just fine using a DVI → HDMI adapter.
when playing video (vlc/mplayer etc) I get quite alot of banding when lots of movement whilst playing on the Sony TV.
I do have a HDBaseT extender in between but I don’t think thats causes the problems as HDBaseT should support 4K 30 fps perfectly well and in windows via the same HDBAseT I have no problems.
I’ll swap over to the HDMI and add the “hacks” in so I can get 4K over HDMI and see if that works.
