AMD Radeon Fury X doesn't have HDMI 2.0 support
So if you had a peek about all & everything presented in the past few days, one thing you will have noticed. The new architecture doesn't seem to offer support for HDMI 2.0, but instead still uses HDMI 1.4a. This means with Fury GPU based products, like the new project Quantum for example which really is a small form factor PC, you can't fully use it on an Ultra HD TV.
See, HDMI offer bandwidth support for 60hz, on 1.4a it'll drop back to a measly 30 Hz. A big miss if you ask me, HDMI 2.0 is the answer for products in the living room. Especially Nano and Project Quantum in mind, this might not have been the smartest move from the engineering team within AMD.
It's a bit of a thing for 4K gaming in the living room I'd say.
This question was answered by AMD Matt from our forums:
Q: Does the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X GPU have HDMI 2.0?
A: No. AMD recommends and uses DisplayPort 1.2a for 4K60 content.

Then what about AMD Quantum which "we’re talking 60 to 90 fps in all games when played at 4K (3840*2160) resolution" and has Fury X2? They promote it as a living room set, right?
Also, may be Fury's Display Port can send (via adapter) 4K@60 4:4:4 signal which can be correctly recognized by a TV?

Fury X is AMD manufactured card right? when MSI / Gigabyte / XFX and there others I can't recall of the top of my head.. When they do their versions maybe they will put HDMI 2.0 on their cards?
Or won't there be other manufacturers making this?

Lots of you people don't even come close to having the GPU power to drive 4k ... some of you can't even get 30Hz in games 1-2 years old at any decent quality settings yet all I see is people complaing about not getting 60Hz on the HDMI version on cards.
Where's all this elitists c**p coming from ? ... why should they bother implementing something that less that 0.1% of people use (and I'm sure its much less than 0.1%) ? ... if a product is good for 99.9% of people that's all that matters ... those 0.1% don't matter ...
I think this is a really bad move on AMD's part.
Look at the sales charts. There are A LOT of 4K TVs being sold right now, and most of the 4K content is on PC, not on 4K Blu-Ray or Smart TV networks yet.
The majority of people who buy a 4k TV buy it to watch TV(upscale on blu-ray looks great) not connect it to a PC so I doubt they care much about the few who actually DO connect them to PC's.
But I think that at time DX12_1 goes live in games, even Fury X/Titan X will be kind of weak.
I seriously doubt they will be weak by any stretch of the imagination ... I have a GTX 780 that drives most games to the max on 1440p at above 45-50Hz and its a fairly old card at this moment.
If 700+ euro cards would be considered weak 1-2 years down the road then there would be little reason to buy one unless you were swimming in cash ... it would be much better to get a cheaper card and upgrade more often.

If you can afford that kinf of performance in such small form factor, you can afford to have 4k TV with DisplayPort.

"In any case, with 4:2:0 4K TVs already on the market, NVIDIA has confirmed that they are enabling 4:2:0 4K output on Kepler cards with their R340 drivers. What this means is that Kepler cards can drive 4:2:0 4K TVs at 60Hz today, but they are doing so in a manner that’s only useful for video. For HTPCs this ends up being a good compromise and as far as we can gather this is a clever move on NVIDIA’s part. But for anyone who is seeing the news of NVIDIA supporting 4K@60Hz over HDMI and hoping to use a TV as a desktop monitor, this will still come up short. Until the next generation of video cards and TVs hit the market with full HDMI 2.0 support (4:4:4 and/or RGB), DisplayPort 1.2 will remain the only way to transmit a full resolution 4K image."
