Re: Displayport/Displayport yields no video at all
5060 SFF has two DP 1.2 video ports. If you use a straight DP to DP cable and cannot get any video from either port, you need to verify the DP cable and monitor (in DP mode) both work using another DP video source. UHD620 or 630 can only support 4k @ 60Hz at DP. Also 5060SFF cpu should have UHD630, not 620. 620 is used in mobile cpu only (e.g., i7-8550U) which requires a different socket. Was it a typo? Do you actually mean UHD 630?
Converting DP to hdmi is not as straightforward as it sounds. The conversion adapter must be directly connected to the DP video source receptacle without a cable. You need an active DP to hdmi adapter because 5060 DP out is not dual mode (DP++ logo).
When the GPU detects an HDMI adapter, it will send an HDMI signal instead of a DisplayPort signal. The pins of the DisplayPort will be mapped to the HDMI pins. Keep in mind, though, that this will only work for 1080p or lower resolution. Therefore you cannot achieve 4k hdmi by converting from DP.
My Samsung UHD S70A S32A70 has both DP and HDMI inputs. Trying the 5060 DP port to monitor DP port yields no video from either 5060 DP port with a male to male DP cable. I am awaiting delivery on eBay # 224741520830 cable to try the DP to HDMI conversion. The DP to HDMI port converter I have is not rated to 3840 x 2160. The new cable is supposed to be rated at 3840 x 2160. It is supposed to be here in a few days.
Yes it is Intel UHD Graphics 630 I have loaded. Having said that, shouldn't the available resolutions be listed, even thought they might not be able to be displayed properly?
if monitor is set to refresh at 60 hz, only straight DP from 5060 without conversion can support 4k. if DP does not give video, something wrong with DP-DP cable, monitor DP in, or PC DP out. if you use HDMI adapter, pc will tell you what resolution is available. it seems DP to HDMI can only go up to 1080p. this is consistent with your report "I am unable to get a choice higher than 1920x1080".
I tried another male/male DP cable, same results. I called Samsung service. They said if the monitor has a DP and HDMI jack on the back, it is for U.K. market. Don't know it is is true or not. But, the straight thru DP cable does not work at all. I think I'll return it, and try another manufacturers UHD monitor.
not familiar with 4k monitor review. if I understand your issue correctly seems your Dell pc DP does have positive DP video output which you converted to HDMI albeit at lower resolution. It is just you do not have a verified working 4k DP monitor to test the native DP video signal resolution directly without any conversion, assuming you have good quality DP to DP cable.

Did you adjust the settings in Windows:
Go to Settings → System → Display → Advanced display settings, and adjust the resolution.
