It's pretty vague unfortunately regarding HDMI:
"Latest Display Connections
Ready for the latest displays
Radeon™ GPUs with the Polaris architecture support HDMI® 2.0b and DisplayPort™
1.3 for compatibility with a new generation of monitors that would make any
gamer excited:
• 1080p @ 240Hz • 1440p @ 240Hz • 4K @ 120Hz • 1440p ultra-wide @ 190Hz"
It does not explicitly say 4K@60 on HDMI. The high refresh rates may only be
available on DP. HDMI 2.0b does not imply 4K@60.

Your board may work, but others might not depending on the board, cable,
monitor, etc.

The display features that are validated are stored in the vbios and the vbios
is updated by the board vendor based on what features they validated on the
board.</pre>
