Hi im looking for a graphic card for my future htpc. What i need its only for play content in 4k (hdmi 2.0) and decode everything by hardware.
I dont need the to play games so i dont want to spend a lot.
 
Solution
Hard to say, 4K stuff is just starting to hit and with things like Netflix 4K, they are limiting it on the PC end so far to only run on a PC with an Intel Kaby Lake CPU/GPU. That's it. So hard to say, get an Nvidia 1xxx series which have HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 and all the stuff 4K is supposed to have and it may not be supported.
