Best method for getting 4K 60hz and audio?

[Scott1204]

Purchased a Samsung 4k 55" TV and upgraded to an Nvidia 1080 Ti graphics card. Researching the best way to get 60Hz refresh rate and audio working.

Previously, I had a 1080p display with a 980 ti and working audio over HDMI. After upgrading graphics, HDMI audio no longer worked despite following the information to repatch it. When I switched to the Displayport, audio was working so figured case closed.

Now that I have the Samsung TV, DisplayPort doesn't offer 4K resolution. I see there are work-arounds for it. In addition, neither option offers 60hz without more patching.

So my question -- what's the easier path...HDMI 4K + Audio patching or DisplayPort 4K assuming audio will "just work"? Any experiences/advice?

HDMI 4K + Audio patching or DisplayPort 4K

The ssdt is the same and required for either DP audio or HDMI audio or both. Depending on the specific 1080, DP audio usually works. On the other hand, HDMI audio rarely works; the fix is DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter. The permanent solution is a Pascal driver fix.
