Went to this adapter to get 4:4:4 at 60 hz. Was already able to get 4:2:0 at 60 but this would be better. Hooked it up, see it booting okay, then when windows goes to the login screen I get this blank screen of random colors…
DP to HDMI woes

Good day Alexander,
GTX680 can be a bit of a challenge indeed.
Strange colors are most often caused by a HDMI cable that does not support 18Gbps.
What HDMI Cable are you using (brand / type).
Here’s my standard checklist
* Make sure the HDMI cable you are using can do HDMI2.0 or 18Gbps.
I know it sounds a bit “easy” but many cables do state to support 4K but actually do not support that in 60Hz and/or the full bandwidth, that certainly goes for cables longer than 3 meters. It is always best to go for a certified cable, something like this http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/hdmi-20-high-speed-4k60hz-uhd-cable-.html
* On many TV’s you need to turn on “UHD Color” or “Advanced or Enhanced” setting manually in the settings of your TV for the HDMI port to which your pc is connected.
* Also it could help when connecting 2 screens, to set the screen connected thru the Adapter as second/secondary screen
* I advise you to make a custom resolution, set resolution to 3840×2160 at 60Hz and set Timing standard to CVT-RB (reduced blanking)
* Color Depth need to be set to 8 bpc (when running 4:4:4).
* What settings are supported by the adapter …
Best regards,
Marcel
