I need help with an HDMI cable, i don't know if it's 1.4 or 2.0 so how can i tell?

[Predatorrr696]

I have a 4K tv which i play games on, as i have heard HDMI 1.4 doesn't support 60fps on 4k however i tested this cable but i'm not really sure if it's actually giving me 60 fps in games or not

Steam has a built-in FPS counter, look in the preferences.

EDIT: Derp. Right, this doesn't help. You're talking about the FPS your TV will show, not about the FPS the PC will send to it.

It doesn't really help as it gives me above 60fps on 4k resolution in all games unless i turn on Vsync
The only game which i "feel" that it's running on really 60fps is Payday2 only on 1080p resolution (even tho the fps counter gives me 300-250 fps) when i turn it up to 4K the fps counter gives me 71-65 fps but it feels slower than that when it's running on 1080p

note: the bag which the cable came with says (1.4V 1.5m) what does the 1.4V mean?

What framerate do you get with V-Sync enabled?

If you switch input chanels on your TV, doesn't it show the used resolution & refresh rate?
Any "high speed" labeling on your cable?

actually it does show 3840x2160/60p not sure if 60p stands for the refresh rate or not

There are only two different kinds of HDMI cables. Standard and high speed. The version number is the signaling technology, not the actual cable.

it's shady how most hdmi cables are hard to tell
apart ... each cable should have a stamp on it
supports , 1.4, 2.0 , 2.0a, etc... or 10.2 gb/s , 18gb/s

HDMI 1.4 gives enough bandwidth for UltraHD 4K @ 30Hz.

HDMI 2.0 gives enough bandwidth for UltraHD 4K @ 60Hz.

Try set the card to output YCbCr instead of RGB in the “adjust desktop color settings” section of the Nvidia Control Panel. Depending on your monitor, considering you are using a TV.
