*Why can't I set my monitor's resolution to 4K resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and 10-bit color depth?

Limited by the HDMI2.0 bandwidth specification, if your monitor's HDMI specification is HDMI2.0 or an older version, 

it will not be able to output a resolution of 4K 60hz 10bit through HDMI2.0, and can only be set to a maximum of 4K 60hz 8bit.
 

If your monitor meets the specifications and the cable bandwidth supports 4K at 60Hz with 10-bit color depth 
(we recommend using the included cable or a certified cable that meets the specifications),

and your host device also supports it,you can set the resolution to 4K 60hz 10bit in the display card settings. 
Below are the steps for setting it in NVIDIA Control Panel:
 

1. To "NVIDIA Control Panel"
