Depends on the game. But they should be playable at 4K if you turn the settings down. Most of the benchmarks you see at 4K are using ultra settings. Which the Vega 64 won't on many modern games.

You'd just connect via HDMI 2.0 cable and turn off any automatic image enhancements. If the TV doesn't have an option to set the input as PC. Also with a lot of games in Windows. You'll need to set the TV as the primary display.

I've a samsung TV 4k 65, it has 3 hdmi, and my mac has 2k resolution (apple led cinema 27), I'm not searching to play at 4K, 1080p or at max 2K will be fine, the games are not FPS, specialy fighting, adventure, platforme, for likesouls or fps I prefer directly on PC. I think it can works with 2K non? my tv is in this link, I think it's ok for gaming.

Just connect the cMP to your TV via HDMI, and switch your TV to game mode / computer mode (this is not mandatory, but can help to reduce input lag).

Then it works just like normal setup. The gaming resolution is up to you, you can select whatever you want in the settings. And the resolution that not supported won't show up. There is nothing to worry about. Just try and see what you want, then play.
