I am a recent owner of a RTX 2080 Super card.
Is it normal when the display settings are raised to 3840x2160 for the display to be crystal clear on the monitor on the hdmi port and a monitor on a display port to have the fonts appear fuzzy and it gives a recommended resolution of 1920 x 1080?
Do I need to get an hdmi 2 into 1 cable and run both on the HDMI or should I be running both on the display ports.

Not normal. Both should be clear. I'd run both on displayport.

Did those and it didn't make a difference. I can run the Monitor (4k TV) on HDMI cable at 3840x2160 Windows recommends the other Monitor (4k TV) to run on 1920x1080, it using a display port to hdmi cable as the TVs only have HDMI ports on them. When I use one of the other ports on the secondary TV with my work HP Elitebook laptop, also using an HDMI to display port cable it works just fine.

When I tried this it would only used 1920x1080 for both monitors.

So it sounds like one of the hdmi ports on your monitor is the problem, or one of the displayports on your gpu has a problem.

HDMI port runs great at the 3840x2160
It's the display ports that aren't.
Since I use two 42" TCL Roku TVs for computer monitors one is using a hdmi to display port cable for the monitor having the fuzzy issue.
Would be unfortunate if it was a card issue as I just purchased it the middle of last month.

Sounds like it could be an issue in the hdmi to display port or display port to hdmi conversion. If your tv's both have hdmi and no display port i would try hdmi to hdmi without any conversion and see what happens.

Do you not have 2 hdmi ports on the gpu to use then and thats why your converting one of them?

The card, EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER KO GAMING only has one HDMI port. It has display ports and a USB-C for the other ports.

I disagree as the op said he used the dp to hdmi conversion cable on his laptop and it worked fine.

Yeah but if i am understanding it right he was using the notebook to power one tv and his desktop to power the other instead of using his desktop computer to run both connections. i'm not saying the conversion won't work alone i'm saying it might be an issue trying to get the same gpu to run the hdmi to hdmi and the display port to hdmi conversion at the same time. I never use any type of conversion cable or adapter so not much experience doing it. I guess maybe i understood it wrong though about how he used his notebook.

On the secondary monitor I am using three of the ports.
HDMI port 1 goes to the EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER KO GAMING via a hdmi to display port cable.
HDMI port 2 goes to a linux machine (hdmi to HDMI)
HDMI port 3 goes to my HP work laptop (HDMI to Display port cable) This instance had clear fonts.
I ordered a 4K UHD display port to HDMI cable in case it's the quality of the cable that I'm using causing the issue.

The old cable was the culprit. New 4k UHD HDR cable is resolution matches the HDMI one.
