Even a HD 2500 from Intel Pentium ivy Bridge which they are mostly in notebooks is sufficient to watch 4k videos (My asus x55a, with a caddy hdd of 1tb and a 240gb ssd can watch 4k videos easy)

Due to an OS issue that prevents my HTPC from sleeping or shutting down, I leave it running 24/7. I currently have a GTX950 feeding my 4K tv/monitor, but if I run the GTX950 at 4k60p, I get a lot of what looks like compression artifacts, or maybe imperfect upscaling from my video playback. Would I really have any difference in quality at 1080p60 between my GTX950 and HD530, if just wanting maximum quality playback from my Windows Media Center HDTV tuner content? I don't see a quality difference,a nd it would be nice to knock a few watts and db off this machine running 24/7.

INtel hd has hardware decoders for h.264 codecs so you should nto see any difference in quality. Also playback should be very smooth. The artefacts could be because of a faulty vram memory module in the videocard or errors during read and writes on hdd or ssd, run a hdd disgostic tool and see what the smart data says. In theory the intel hd should be strong enought even for 4k.
