Hello. I tried my best Google-fu on this with mixed success.
So I hooked my deck into my 4k TV that’s displaying at 4k 60hz and it was locked at 30 fps, thought that was odd so I switched it to 1080 60hz and still locked at 30fps. I changed it to 2k 120hz and now it can hit 120 fps. So why can’t I set it to 60 hz and get 60 fps?
Maybe a weird 59hz thing? Not sure. Any help would be great.
What dock are you using? Not all of them have enough HDMI bandwidth for 4k at 60 Hz. You’re unlikely to be able to run many games at that resolution and framerate anyway, to be honest. It is odd that 1080p at 60 Hz is not working, though.
It’s the official dock with an adequate hdmi. It can do 2k at 144 just fine, but the software just won’t allow 60hz to display at 60fps.
I’m aware that games can’t really run at these resolutions anyway, this is just something that I found.
That’s odd. I’m on the preview branch with the official dock, and 4k at 60 works, albeit with a lot of input lag for some reason. Have you checked the cable with another device?
What about 1080p at 120, can you just limit the fps to 60? You may even be able to use 40 fps at 120 Hz.
Check your HDMI cable. You’re probably using one that isn’t specced to support 4k60.
I know if it’s one that says “HDMI with ethernet” on it it will definitely work.
As I said, the hardware is adequate. There is some problem with the software with 60hz. The fact that it can’t get 60fps at any resolution is the smoking gun.
I thought it was worth a look. I’ve seen it before where a cable didn’t support 4k60 that the device wouldn’t go to 1080p60 either.
There have been a lot of issues with the official dock that seems to point to bandwidth issues.
