Since I am having slight issues finding a cheap GPU for my main PC that supports 4k so I can watch Movies and other videos in 4K I am thinking of just buying the 5600G cpu and running two monitor one to my 4K TV and the other to my old 1080P tv that I used to surf the web will this work for both at the same time

I am pretty sure the CPU can support 3 or 4 monitors. So I believe the limiting factor will be what your motherboard actually has for connections and permits. Check the MOB manual/site.

^^^ Bond is correct.... lmao, I typed this in a rush going to bed, sorry bond
I had no problem using the 5600g with a 4k monitor but I only ran it with 2 monitors for less than a month

4k60hz for sure (got 5600g / 5700g systems), 120hz not so, but could :


On an ASRock B550i Phantom Gaming here with a 5600G and with latest Adrenalin, you have to enable Freesync Premium on the LG OLED (enable Game Optimizer and inside Game Optimizer settings, then turn on Freesync Premium) in order to enable 120hz on 4K 8bit 4:2:0 chroma.

Definitely the motherboard is limiting to HDMI 2.0 by the looks of it.

I asked this question on amazon and had one reply that said no its 1080p because apparently its based on ram speed which is limited? that doesn't make sense I think that this person possibly doesn't have a HDMI cable that can do 4k because I was running into the same issue with my gaming system it wouldnt do 4k 120hz on 60 Hz but when I bought a proper cable it did 4k 120 hz and of course I had to plug it into the proper HDMI port on the TV. if this is the case I wonder if it might be just cheaper to build a new system around the amd 7600 chip that I have in the drawer and use the onboard gpu in that lol

That person doesn't know what they are talking about. Motherboard manual is at the link below. The HDMI is limited to a max of 4k 60Hz. It doesn't specific what the displayport will support.

I am pretty confident that rx480 will do 4k 60Hz.
