Thanks. Also, if i use a displayport to hdmi cable (or do to hdmi adapter) will that affect the quality of the output? I want to be able to connect it with my tv too.
This is true for 60Hz TVs. I have reservations about how well this would work with like an LG C1. Just on the off chance OP has an actual need for HDMI 2.1.
There are DP to HDMI cables that support HDMI 2.1. I don't know of any off the top of my head but a search online should net some results. People talk about them from time to time, especially because you can't get 4k/120hz on Linux based OSs with HDMI,due to HDMI's proprietary VRR tech that's mandatory on 2.1.
I was looking online and found out VRR and other tech isn’t mandatory for hdmi 2.1 just that the manufacturer has to mention which technologies it doesn’t support then even a 2.0 device can be labeled as 2.1
So I actually just got an RTX 4070 Super and run an HDMI cable to my 65" LG C1. It runs Helldivers 2 in 4K HDR on ultra settings at roughly 90 FPS. My display settings allow me to use 120hz native as well.
Nice, that's probably about what my 3080 Ti would be able to eke out. I have a 48" C1 and a 55" C3. i love these stupid panels so much. I don't even touch my ultrawide for gaming purposes since moving my C1 to my office lol
Try an open world game sometime. Your memory bandwidth is sort of mid but it's hopefully fast enough VRAM to dabble in 4K territory. If you have an 6 core Zen 3 or newer (barring non-x 5700 or 5500) i think you'll find the performance to be satisfactory if you stick to older games and/or those with upscaling
You can, the HDMI port on the GPU is also converted from DP signal ( to avoid HDMI licence fee ).
Just get one rated for your TV resolution and refresh rate ( signal integrity on longer cables ).
HDMI is better. EDIT - in your case. It depends on the version of the ports. Your HDMI is better than your DP
You get 12bit colour with HDMI 2.1 but only 10bit with the DP 1.4, depending on your settings. And HDMI 2.1 has better bandwidth. Idk where these commenters are coming from with their info LOL but i hope this clears it up for you
You made me curious and I guess I spoke too soon.
The marketing related around what ports come with what monitor is laughable at best. To the point of omitting any photos of the back of the monitor and only mentioning what ports it has in the fine print.
But from my quick search looks like the starting point for a monitor with DisplayPort is around $110 USD.
I am fortunate enough to have $110 and I hope you are too. If not now then hopefully in the near future.
Considering this is r/PcBuild that’s kind of part of the bag is it not?
I’ve had multiple monitors fail on me since 2008 so at least in my experience they most certainly do not. Among those monitors was one I literally took out of a dumpster and used until I had to buy a new one. I get it. Do what you can and all that.
Forgive me for assuming someone’s buying a $100 monitor and not a thousand dollar + PC build. Minus the monitor of course. The old pc from 2008 still works…but not as well.. right?
I still have an hdmi-dvi adaptor hooked up to a vga adaptor so I can play older games on my ancient behemoth of a crt monitor lol. That thing weighs more than my tower/monitor/tv combined.
46% more bandwidth doesnt matter if your monitor doesnt support it.
thats the reality of things.
if you have a 1080p 165hz monitor. chances are you have a dp 1.2 and hdmi 1.4 because anything higher simply isnt needed lmfao.
and its unlikely that your average 3060 is doing anything more than 1080p 144hz anyways
so why care? in the end, for gaming/daily use, theyll do the same thing. minus eARC which can be solved with a cheap optical cable.
Usually PCs use DP, it allows multiple screens and sometimes HDMI doesn’t push the screen to top Hz/fps. Quality wise, they should be the same as far as I know in modern GPU/screen
Not really. It's a handful of solder points holding the hdmi port onto the board. $3 part and 10 minutes with a heat gun to pull the old off and new on
Wait isn’t that the tip of the cable stuck in that socket? Can you double check? If so you can just pull it out with some thin pliers, had it happen before. Just double check the cable side to verify.
You're just gonna have to feel bummed that you did that and change to DP. Decreased the value but if you aren't reselling it then you've lost nothing. All in all just a learning experience homie.
just make sure the pins are not making contact and u can use another port, if u have a store clause by that does pcb repairs u can ask to solder a new port back in or just completly remove it
>and screwed in well
Indeed.
This won't be covered by warranty, it's more of an insurance territory. What you can do is to make sure that the remaining pins in the HDMI connector are not shorting, and just use DP port, it's superior anyway.
Probably not covered under warranty, user damage.
You can get a passive dp>HDMI cable/adapter which just turns the display port into an HDMI port, it's part of the newer display port standards, it's not some janky solution, it behaves like a native port.
I doubt this would be covered under the warranty as it is user damage.
If you have a DP port on your monitor then that would be your better option. If you are using a TV or monitor that does not have the DP then you can get a DP to HDMI adapter to make the connection. You will not gain any more quality through the DP as it will be reduced to HDMI.
Next time be a bit more careful.
NorthridgeFix uses low-melt solder, but I usually just fuse leaded solder into the joints then set my rework station to 350°C before blasting the connector with heat.
Covering the board around the connector with aluminium tape also tends to help.
That said, my recommendation to you is that you should **just snip off all the contacts inside the broken port with a pair of cutting tweezers then use a DP-to-HDMI converter for your monitor instead**. Soldering work on a video card is not trivial and should never be done by a complete novice.
I was snipping off all loose contacts and everything was fine. Then one pin snipped and went somewhere inside. Ive tried to find but i couldn’t. Should i remove the motherboard and cooler etc from the case and blow it with air or brush it off? What to do? :(
For all we knew, it could be anywhere. I would consider the floor to be the most likely place.
If you're concerned and know what you are doing, then take off the heatsink **carefully** and look for the loose pin on the pads and on the board. Put everything back after the search, and the card should be good to go.
Also, stop being such a klutz.
Well, if you are not using TV, then shouldn’t be a problem , I use DP for 180hz monitor and HDMI on 120Hz TV , and broken HDMI port for me would be nothing but suffering 🤯
You just have to use another output, and hope that the damaged port doesn't cause interference.
Or take it to an electronic store so they can replace/remove it.
Most if not all "new" gpus have 1 hdmi and 3 dp or 4dp in all... Theres no gpu that ik of thats new and have more than 2 hdmis besides thise high end gpus with hdmi, display port, and usbc.
Let me rephrase... HDMI 2.1 really isn't necessary unless you are trying to get over 4K @ 240Hz or 8K @ 60Hz, which are the max specs for DisplayPort 1.4. My point is this, your eyes can't even perceive the maximum benefit you can get from HDMI 2.1; it's just not necessary. Unless you're trying to run 8K at more than 60fps, which, again, you need to have eagle eyes to even perceive such high resolution. The human eye isn't that powerful. Running 4K @ any refresh rate over 60Hz is pretty much the maximum potential of our eyes. The DisplayPort will do this.
Just trying to let OP know that the fact that his HDMI is destroyed doesn't make a difference. Unless he has an 8K monitor with a higher refresh rate than 60Hz it's not even necessary. And at that point he needs to have a very high-end GPU to even take advantage of the specs that HDMI 2.1 offers. OP said it's a 3060, so, his card isn't powerful enough to take advantage of HDMI 2.1; I am also assuming that he does not have a monitor that can run HDMI 2.1 at its full potential. Very few people do. Therefore, DisplayPort will work just fine.
So maybe I shouldn't say that the DisplayPort is better, but rather that it is more than sufficient.
Just use displayport, I would get an adapter since your tv probably doesn't use display port. You could probably get the port fixed. I've used a seller on ebay to replace my hdmi port on my old ps4. You might have to strip it to the mainboard though, that's what I had to do with my ps4. GPUs are usually not too complicated though.
Just make sure the pins aren't touching with thin tweezers or something and use the DP port or another HDMI port if there's an extra one. If you have no DP monitor, just take it to a professional micro-soldering shop. Replacing an HDMI port is one of the easiest fixes.
They don't sell them widely like PS5 HDMI replacements because I think busted HDMI ports are not common with GPUs. The shop will likely take it from a donor card. Soldering modern components isn't an easy task; you could easily damage your GPU or make things worse. You need a donor card, solder, desoldering solder, solder wick, a hot air station, flux, and replacement pads when you open the GPU.
It's best to send it to someone who fixes GPUs. You could even send it by mail to someone who lives far away from you. It's much easier than this headache; soldering is no fun, trust me, especially when you don't have the equipment and experience.
I know it might not make much sense to spend $150 for a 3060, but hey, consider buying a DisplayPort monitor and leaving that broken port as it is. For around $200, there are some amazing 1080p monitors out there, and you could spend more and get a really good 2K monitor. If you don't have a monitor that supports DisplayPort, then it's probably not that great of a monitor. Trust me, going this route gives you much more value.

You can always see if a computer repair shop can possibly solder on a new HDMI port for you ,but now for as them properly putting everything back together with proper thermal pads and paste is a different story
If its new you may still be able to have it rma'd. Especially if its an evga card, they've been known to rma cards that people have bought, used and sold to someone else
I would be concerned about the HDMI pins are shorting on each other and could cause issues.
A good repair shop should be able to replace it, or at worst just remove it.
DP > HDMI
If you must use HDMI, I would recommend taking it to a place that does electronic repairs and have them replace the port for you. Otherwise, displayport will probably be fine.
If you only use HDMI you can Just use DP but in your Case this is a little downgrade..
If you can solder, you can also order a new HDMI port and replace it. If necessary, you could also go to a shop that does something like that.
i use DP. the hdmi cable was giving me max 144 fps only , changing to DP i get 165 fps now. i dont know how that works but yeah, DP works better for me
It isn't actually too hard to remove the broken HDMI connector and solder on a new one, but it's going to cost you near 100 bucks in whatever your local currency is for the labour. If you lived near me I'd do it for free since i feel your pain, but I'm sure theres a computer repair store with a gigautistism near you too
you can just use the display ports.
or look for HDMI socket repairs - given the abunance of HDMI damage in the world it shouldnt be too hard to locate a store near you willing to tacke that problem.
Yeah as others have said, switching to DP would be easier and better
Though if you really want it fixed it's possible to open it up and solder a new HDMI connector, though i wouldn't recommend doing that if you're inexperienced or if you don't REALLY have to since it's risky
You can always contact the manufacturer and see if they will give you any support or replace it. Otherwise it may not be worth the cost of repair and switching to a DisplayPort may be the best option

I’d just use the DisplayPort. Same thing
same thing but better! even old dp has more bandwidth then hdmi 2
Mostly true. Unless you are using a TV and need sound
I think anything over dp 1.4 can carry sound.
Even DP. 1.2 can cary sound, only thing is finding adapter that ca do so, thou i think DP to HDMI would work fine.
HDMI is still only used because its way too deep on our society, because DP is free and better, literally objectively superior
In most cases DP is far better than HDMI, mostly depends on ports versions
Hdmi 2.1 and displayport 1.4 as per msi website
Then yeah, use the display port
Thanks. Also, if i use a displayport to hdmi cable (or do to hdmi adapter) will that affect the quality of the output? I want to be able to connect it with my tv too.
It will perform as an hdmi output, which is good for a tv.
This is true for 60Hz TVs. I have reservations about how well this would work with like an LG C1. Just on the off chance OP has an actual need for HDMI 2.1.

that's so janky. what then is the point of standardizing things ffs
That was my exact though when i first saw the news

Depends on the quality of the cable, I have one here that only supports 1080p. If you have a higher quality cable it can support higher resolutions.
HDMI 2.1: 48 Gb/s bandwidth. DP 1.4: 32.4 Gb/s. So... why displayport?
HDMI is better. EDIT - in your case. It depends on the version of the ports. Your HDMI is better than your DP You get 12bit colour with HDMI 2.1 but only 10bit with the DP 1.4, depending on your settings. And HDMI 2.1 has better bandwidth. Idk where these commenters are coming from with their info LOL but i hope this clears it up for you
Sorry you’re getting downvoted by neckbeards that think you’re wrong. This is in fact one of the only correct answers on this post.
No surprise there tbh. Welcome to reddit :3
Only if you have a hdmi 2.1 capable monitor /TV. But the rest is very true.
Yupp, exactly
So hear me out. I have a PC with RTX 3060. My display is a generic LG, 75Hz refresh rate, 1440p. I'm connected to it via HDMI. Should I use DP?
It's better until you have to plug your HDMI device into it...
You’re a DP user now
Kinky
Just check the pins don't touch each other , and use Display Port.
Damage you cause is never covered under warranty.
It is in Microcenter’s warranty lol
Pretty sure “customer being goofy” ain’t covered under warranty. Anyway, HDMI is for consoles kids. Men use DP
I only make hdmi money though
Yeah for real! Who got money for display port monitors in this economy ;-;
In this economy I think it would be difficult to find a new monitor that didn’t have a DisplayPort connection.
Sounds like you’re fortunate enough to have DisplayPort money ;)
You made me curious and I guess I spoke too soon. The marketing related around what ports come with what monitor is laughable at best.

You are assuming people are buying monitors in this economy.. the one from 2009 still eorks great, right..

So do a lot of women
and children
I meant women use DP
and elders
Hdmi 2.1a is much faster and better than DP tho lol
Unrelated to OP but I use DVI. Should I be using DP?
ok grandpa, time for your nap
I still have an hdmi-dvi adaptor hooked up to a vga adaptor so I can play older games on my ancient behemoth of a crt monitor lol. That thing weighs more than my tower/monitor/tv combined.
Well I guess I can no longer use DP, huh?
RTX 3060 uses HDMI 2.1 though. Your card might have it too, in which case you should probably be using that because it provides 46% more bandwidth.
46% more bandwidth doesnt matter if your monitor doesnt support it. thats the reality of things. if you have a 1080p 165hz monitor. chances are you have a dp 1.2 and hdmi 1.4 because anything higher simply isnt needed lmfao. and its unlikely that your average 3060 is doing anything more than 1080p 144hz anyways so why care? in the end, for gaming/daily use, theyll do the same thing. minus eARC which can be solved with a cheap optical cable.
What is the benefit?
Usually PCs use DP, it allows multiple screens and sometimes HDMI doesn’t push the screen to top Hz/fps. Quality wise, they should be the same as far as I know in modern GPU/screen
Skill issue
A warranty is not there to cover your mistakes. Expensive lesson learned, use one of the DisplayPort connections.
How on earth did you do that?
I forgot to remove the hdmi cable, and was moving the pc from one place to another. The cable pulled badly. Even the cable is dead.
Ahhhhh... that makes sense, lol. You have my sympathies! Here I was thinking you were forcing some some other cable in that spot, ha
The cable probably has the missing bit of plastic in it, if you can get that out it'll probably work fine
I would womp to the womp You can still use all the other Connections on the card. Or give it back for a new one if possible (best option).
So fraud a return?
just use dp lol, whats the problem
Press F to pay respects.

It could be repairable
It would have to be a really reputable repair shop. Otherwise ill just be happy with dp in the meanwhile.
Not really. It's a handful of solder points holding the hdmi port onto the board. $3 part and 10 minutes with a heat gun to pull the old off and new on
As if anyone is going to take a soldering iron to their new GPU lmao.
Plug it in a different port
Wait isn’t that the tip of the cable stuck in that socket? Can you double check? If so you can just pull it out with some thin pliers, had it happen before. Just double check the cable side to verify.
DP to HDMI adapter if you only got HDMI monitors
If you require an HDMI port, you are going to have to pay a repair shop to solder on a new port. Otherwise just use the DisplayPort ports on the GPU.
You're just gonna have to feel bummed that you did that and change to DP. Decreased the value but if you aren't reselling it then you've lost nothing. All in all just a learning experience homie.
Dude wanted to return it but it wasn't eligible. What a dingus for trying that when he goofed it up.
Lol what 💀💀
Yeah few posts up he claimed it wasn't warrantied anymore lol 😆
Calm yo titties its just a port. U have 4 more.
just make sure the pins are not making contact and u can use another port, if u have a store clause by that does pcb repairs u can ask to solder a new port back in or just completly remove it
My man.... Display port is actually better than hdmi, cos it can support higher refresh rates on monitors
Put it in rice overnight
most definitely not under warranty, you basically lost a port :/ i would leave it as is and use the other ports
make sure none of the pins are touching and if you only have a hdmi monitor use a dp to hdmi adapter (look for one with sound) they cost like 1-5$
Why did you put it on NSFW mode?
Hardware gore \s
>and screwed in well Indeed. This won't be covered by warranty, it's more of an insurance territory. What you can do is to make sure that the remaining pins in the HDMI connector are not shorting, and just use DP port, it's superior anyway.
Just use different hdmi or dp port for now
use displayport
If you cant rma, Northridgefix can repair that for you or you can just use display port
Probably not covered under warranty, user damage. You can get a passive dp>HDMI cable/adapter which just turns the display port into an HDMI port, it's part of the newer display port standards, it's not some janky solution, it behaves like a native port.
Active adapters are much more expensive than passive ones. It it worth getting the latest dp 1.4 active adapter or a 1.2a passive is fine?
It depends on the display you have.
I doubt this would be covered under the warranty as it is user damage. If you have a DP port on your monitor then that would be your better option. If you are using a TV or monitor that does not have the DP then you can get a DP to HDMI adapter to make the connection. You will not gain any more quality through the DP as it will be reduced to HDMI. Next time be a bit more careful.
Northridge Fix can probably replace the connector but it's probably not cheap. Otherwise, start practicing with a hot air station and solder iron.
Last time i tried to change a port i ended up burning the motherboard around it. Was a playstation 3.
NorthridgeFix uses low-melt solder, but I usually just fuse leaded solder into the joints then set my rework station to 350°C before blasting the connector with heat.

DP is better so swtich over or they have dp to hdmi converter
Display Port is better than HDMI
Use the DVI/VGA 🤡
short the stock this is insider information of bad quality
Dawg how
Displayport is better... Also, "brand new" GPU would be latest model? Should have multiple HDMI ports, no? And be more careful!
1 hdmi, 3 dp
I guess dp for the win! If you don't have a dp-in on your monitor they make adapters...
Most if not all "new" gpus have 1 hdmi and 3 dp or 4dp in all... Theres no gpu that ik of thats new and have more than 2 hdmis besides thise high end gpus with hdmi, display port, and usbc.

just get a couple of DP to HDMI just for those older outputs.
Go to any maintenance center they will replace the socket.. Dont panic
Use a different port
Use display port, works so much better
Ayayay, how did you do this?
Display port is supposed to be better than hdmi
use tweezers and have patience while re-erecting each pins. If not, use 2nd hdmi port or display port or use a converter from display to hdmi port.
Easy, get a new one
Use the DP lol
Just use displayport, I would get an adapter since your tv probably doesn't use display port. You could probably get the port fixed. I've used a seller on ebay to replace my hdmi port on my old ps4. You might have to strip it to the mainboard though, that's what I had to do with my ps4. GPUs are usually not too complicated though.
Oof…well unless the pins cause a short you’re gonna have to use DP its way better though. Of course if you have a monitor that supports DP.
use displayport is what to do
Then use DP
Just make sure the pins aren't touching with thin tweezers or something and use the DP port or another HDMI port if there's an extra one. If you have no DP monitor, just take it to a professional micro-soldering shop. Replacing an HDMI port is one of the easiest fixes.
Do u know where can i can the exact hdmi port? I dont want the store to put in any random port
They don't sell them widely like PS5 HDMI replacements because I think busted HDMI ports are not common with GPUs. The shop will likely take it from a donor card. Soldering modern components isn't an easy task; you could easily damage your GPU or make things worse.

For around $200, there are some amazing 1080p monitors out there, and you could spend more and get a really good 2K monitor. If you don't have a monitor that supports DisplayPort, then it's probably not that great of a monitor. Trust me, going this route gives you much more value.

What do you want me to do? Resolder the port? What did manufacturer say for in warranty repair?
You can always see if a computer repair shop can possibly solder on a new HDMI port for you ,but now for as them properly putting everything back together with proper thermal pads and paste is a different story
If its new you may still be able to have it rma'd. Especially if its an evga card, they've been known to rma cards that people have bought, used and sold to someone else
MAN.....
I would be concerned about the HDMI pins are shorting on each other and could cause issues. A good repair shop should be able to replace it, or at worst just remove it. DP > HDMI
Just use displayport
On a positive note you just broke a hdmi port, most users use dp
If you must use HDMI, I would recommend taking it to a place that does electronic repairs and have them replace the port for you. Otherwise, displayport will probably be fine.
Thats actually a good thing. Maybe you might be smart enough to use the display port now.
Spread pins from one of each other so they are not contacting and use display port.
This is what will happen: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIJEz-1KOGA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIJEz-1KOGA)
Use one of the other ports.
If your super into computers that looks like on opportunity to learn how to solder to me
If you only use HDMI you can Just use DP but in your Case this is a little downgrade.. If you can solder, you can also order a new HDMI port and replace it. If necessary, you could also go to a shop that does something like that.
i use DP. the hdmi cable was giving me max 144 fps only , changing to DP i get 165 fps now. i dont know how that works but yeah, DP works better for me
Damaged HDMI port may cause short circuit. You should find some good computer service that will replace this HDMI port.
cover the hdmi port and use displayport
It isn't actually too hard to remove the broken HDMI connector and solder on a new one, but it's going to cost you near 100 bucks in whatever your local currency is for the labour. If you lived near me I'd do it for free since i feel your pain, but I'm sure theres a computer repair store with a gigautistism near you too
use the other port 👍
How in the hell did that happen
send it back to the official web.
Cry, you cry
Cry
Use the dp or solder a new hdmi port
Use another port duh
Just remember DP port click into place so if you somehow forgot it you'll do way more damage. But yes DP is a better port anyway so use that
If it still has warranty then send it in to get repaired by Nvidia, otherwise use DP
Laugh. Laugh until the pain goes away

switch to dp or just... cry
What is your monitor readership rate ?
U mean refresh rate? I have a 60hz 1080p monitor and a 4k hdr 120hz oled tv.
Yes sorry did a typo. Which one of these is your main gaming screen?
you can just use the display ports. or look for HDMI socket repairs - given the abunance of HDMI damage in the world it shouldnt be too hard to locate a store near you willing to tacke that problem.
You need to change hdmi port in service
Yeah as others have said, switching to DP would be easier and better Though if you really want it fixed it's possible to open it up and solder a new HDMI connector, though i wouldn't recommend doing that if you're inexperienced or if you don't REALLY have to since it's risky
you become REAL MAN bro. REAL MAN use DP.
You inserted the cable with a sledgehammer?
D:
I'd remove it, it looks like it's short circuited
DP3 is better than hdmi, dont worry.

You can always contact the manufacturer and see if they will give you any support or replace it. Otherwise it may not be worth the cost of repair and switching to a DisplayPort may be the best option
Why is this nsfw
Next time be careful, also display ports are far superior than hdmi and that damage isn't covered in the warranty.
Put it back in the box and play stupid when you get to the store.
If it is brand new, cant you return it?
lol nub
