Introduction
The ULT-unite 8K DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 Cable is designed to provide a high-quality audio and video connection, supporting resolutions up to 8K@60Hz and 4K@144Hz. This cable allows you to connect a DisplayPort-enabled source device to an HDMI-enabled display, enhancing your viewing and gaming experience with stunning visual effects and dynamic HDR content.
Important Notes & Warnings
- Unidirectional Cable: This cable is unidirectional. It only supports signal transmission from a DisplayPort source to an HDMI display. It does NOT support HDMI output to DisplayPort input. Ensure your source device has a DisplayPort output.
- G-Sync Compatibility: If you experience issues when G-Sync is enabled, please try disabling it.
- GPU Compatibility for High Resolutions:
- NVIDIA "Turing" (e.g., GTX1650S/1660Ti/RTX2060/2070/2080Ti) and "Ampere" (e.g., RTX3060/3070/3080) series GPUs can output 4K@120Hz and HDR simultaneously.
- Other NVIDIA cards (e.g., GTX1060/1070/1080Ti) output a maximum of 4K@60Hz.
- AMD RX5700/5600/6900/6800/6700 series GPUs output a maximum of 4K@120Hz 8bit YCbCr420 and do not support HDR.
- Resolution Dependency: The achievable resolution and refresh rate depend on both your DisplayPort host device and the connected display device. For example, if your DisplayPort host device supports 8K@60Hz but your display only supports 4K@60Hz, the output will be limited to 4K@60Hz.
- Incompatibility: This cable is not compatible with KVM switches, docking stations, Hubs, PlayStation, or Xbox consoles.
Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your DisplayPort source to an HDMI display:
- Connect the DisplayPort connector (marked 'DP IN') to your computer's DisplayPort 1.4 output port.
- Connect the HDMI connector (marked 'HDMI OUT') to your display device's HDMI 2.1 input port.
- Ensure both connectors are firmly and fully plugged in.
- Power on your display and select the correct HDMI input source.
- Your computer should automatically detect the display (no drivers are required).

Maintenance
Cable Handling
- Always disconnect the cable by gripping the connectors, not by pulling the cable itself.
- Avoid sharp bends (greater than 90 degrees) and excessive pulling to prevent internal damage.
Care Instructions
- Keep connectors clean and free from debris.
- Store the cable in a dry environment when not in use.
User Tips
- For optimal performance, especially with high refresh rates and HDR, ensure your graphics card and display both support the desired specifications (e.g., RTX 2060 for 4K@120Hz with HDR).
- If you encounter display issues, always check your GPU drivers and update them to the latest version.
- Remember the unidirectional nature of the cable: DisplayPort (source) to HDMI (display). Connecting it in reverse will not work.
- If using G-Sync and experiencing problems, temporarily disable G-Sync in your graphics card control panel to diagnose if it's the cause.
