Probably a stupid question but I'm not 100%,
Now I know to get 4k 60hz you need hdmi 2.0 ports(which my 760 does not have) therefore I can only get 4k 30hz(actually 24hz with hdmi 1.4)
Going into the Nividia Control Panel in the change resolution settings, im able to click my 4k tv and change my refresh rate to 60hz, once I do so my Tv refreshes and pops up with the res as usual, but it also says 60hz. So basically what my question is, is that false? I mean my 760 cant handle 4k at 60hz, but my tv pops up 4k 60hz So does changing the refresh rate of the tv in the Nividia Control panel actually make it 60hz?
 
P.S HDMI from gpu to TV is a HDMI 2.0 cable.

    You cannot do 4:4:4 full RBG color at 4K 60hz from your GPU as it doesn't support HDMI 2.0. However, you can if you're using 4:2:0 subsampling run at 60hz however, text isn't going to look crisp and the desktop may look off. You won't notice in games.. What is the color format you are using the Nvidia Control Panel?

    EVGA X99 FTWK / i7 6850K @ 4.5ghz / RTX 3080Ti FTW Ultra / 32GB Corsair LPX 3600mhz / Samsung 850Pro 256GB / Be Quiet BN516 Straight Power 12-1000w 80 Plus Platinum / Window 10 Pro

    Ah okay.. new to learning the color ratios.
    I was going by this..  
     
    HDMI
    4096x2160@ 24Hz
    3840x2160@ 30Hz
    2560x1600@ 60Hz
    2560x1440@ 60Hz
    1920x1200@ 60Hz
    1920x1080@ 60Hz
     
    Thats the ratio of wires, res, and Hz for the 760 found on the EVGA forums.. Im using a HDMI 3840x2160 so I figured I couldnt hit 60hz.. thus why I was confused.
    I was running 30Hz 4:4:4.. and might still run it.
    But your right, when I change it to 60Hz I noticed it changed to 4:2:0
    Researching around I seen in many places to use the 'quick brown fox' picture to check the difference between 4:4:4 and 4:2:0 
    Honestly Im seeing no difference.. both are completely readable and colors aren't messed up. Desktop also isnt off as well.

    So long as you can move around a window (in Windows) and it is smooth as it is at 1080p @ 60hz then you are getting full 60hz. As others have stated, with compression it is possible to get it to work on older cards that lack hdmi 2.0

    ...an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.
