Direct answer

Short answer: For a simple PC-to-monitor hookup, YEShop lists the Amazon Basics DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (uni-directional, 6 ft). The title calls out 4K@30Hz alongside 1920×1200 and 1080p, while some catalog bullets emphasize uncompressed audio and video “up to 1920×1200 and 1080p.” Treat resolution as something to confirm on the live Amazon listing for your exact GPU and monitor.

This is a uni-directional passive cable (DisplayPort source → HDMI display, DP++). It is not HDMI→DisplayPort, and the catalog says it does not support LVDS signal sources such as many A/V players. YEShop does not invent HDR, 4K60, or adaptive-sync claims.
