How is it actually possible to fuck it up then? I seriously want to believe that the jews are behind this right now.
Is there any way to overclock the hdmi Signal strength on a gtx 980?
Haven't had any problems with the $8 cable I bought from the hardware store desu senpai.
Still suspect I overpaid for it.

I'm running a 1440p 144hz monitor off a £3 Display cable, Cheap cables for digital signals are fine.
You should not fall for the cheap-ass noname chink shit cables. It shouldn't be premium or whatsoever, but it should be: a) well-known OK quality brand; b) reasonable price per length that you get.
I got my 2-meter long hdmi cable 7 years ago, at that time it was like 15-20 bucks, I don't remember the exact price. Cable is thick, covered with some sort of plastic net layer for additional protection (from cats, sharp things etc) and so far working like a charm, literally zero fucking issues with the cable.

All signals degrade over long distances; and the longer the cable, the more noise it picks up. Generally, the 2 ft max from your desktop to your monitor simply isn't long enough for any significant noise or degradation to affect it.

What brand was it?
You must be retarded OP, I bought 10 hdmi cables off Amazon for 3cents each plus 3$ shipping for the lot. Only 1 of them has broken in 4 years of use.

You ever figured that maybe it's your GPU /mobo? The hdmi isn't working properly. It's not the cables.

i unplugged that fucker and the *gold* plated shit got stuck into the port while the rest of the cable came off

All i know is that i had some older HDMI cables that didn't support ARC for whatever reason. Pretty much new but TV never found the ARC device with the cables plugged in. Works fine with newer cheapo $2 cables. I know HDMI is supposed to be the same, but never figured out why ARC didn't work. HDMI passthrough worked fine. Oh and I also had some older cables that didn't support HDMI-CEC. Not sure why either. Maybe just too old?

Whats wrong with you?

This pains me to look at.

Yeah but that's all digital means. If it works, then the expensive cable won't look any better than the cheap one at the same mode. But the cheap one won't work at all in some modes. Digital is why he has a black screen instead of blurry shit or color bands etc. Digital works or it doesn't. OP's doesn't.

It's a digital signal, over an analogue medium. I've had good luck with the amazon basics to drive my 4k panel, though.
I've got five $1 6ft HDMI cables and a $5 15ft one, haven't had any issues with any of them.
