4K cable needed for gaming

[m1tp2king]

hi. I plan to buy a new 4K PC.

I have a choice of buying a 4K TV screen or a real 4K gaming screen.

for a 4K TV screen I will be using an HDMI cable. does it need to be an HDMI 2.0 cable? I have a choice of 2 cables. one has bandwidth of up to 10.2 Gbps.

the other has 18 Gbps.

will they both work ? what's the difference ??

what a cable with Ethernet included. what does that mean ?

 

if I buy the real 4K gaming screen, I need a display port cable. what number or version should I get ? may want to use Nvidia G-sync.

 

please let me know as much as possible about 4K cables and what is needed to play at 4K.

thanks.

I use for UHD a displayport cable

 

everything is fine and i think every DP cable is more or less the same

 

I'd say go for DP

what about a 4K TV screen, I think I need an HDMI cable for that.

any info about that ?

You need HDMI 2.0 to support 4K at 60Hz.

DisplayPort cables have different ratings

You need 1.2 to handle 4K/60

As far as 4k monitors vs the TV's go? I personally can't really tell a difference. Either way they both look fantastic in my opinion.
