Hey I purchased MSI's GTX 970 4GD5T OC and afterwards I found on MSI's website that the HDMI is version 1.4a. After reading Tom's Hardware's extensive review of both the 970 and 980, I thought the HDMI version would be 2.0. Indeed, the review includes cards from Gigabyte and EVGA that use 2.0. So I figured that'd be the standard MSI would use (incidentally, Zotac also uses 1.4a).

What might be the reason for this? Cost? I wasn't aware I'd have to research that particular spec :/

MSI Geno here,

That was a typo and we have already fixed it. It is Indeed HDMI 2.0, which we have updated on our website!

Cheers!

No you do not, as the HDMI spec is 2.0 to begin with. We mistakenly wrote it was 1.4 as a typo on our website.
