Hi.
I have got an Asus strix gtx960 4GB. My main interest is home office work on a 4k tv 40 inch monitor (not bought yet) excel word and casual bluray conversion. Maybe casual gaming for the kids.but I understand 4k would not be the strength of the 960. So the gaming might be at 1080p. Is this card fine for this for the upcoming few years? Moreover I just got the card used but in excellent condition for 140 dollars. Was that expensive?

They go for about that refurbished. It wasn't an amazing deal but a rather fair trade.

The 960 will be great for 4k playback and desktop use. My wife uses one and it has treated us very well. it has HDMI 2.0 native compatibility so that is nice.

It won't really be able to game at 4k though, you're correct there. But 1080p should look just fine and be supported.

for general use the GTX 960 will be better than integrated for many, many years to come.

It is no less than 5x faster than what intel offers for integrated graphics today - so it...

$140 is not too bad. a comparable 1050ti is about that new. i would have gone that way myself but not a terrible buy.

it'll run a 4k screen fine for basic office type stuff. but as you know won't do 4k gaming. 1080p would be ok with reduced settings for newer games. only problem may be the tv screen itself. sometimes they are not as clear as a pc monitor. you may have some issues with documents and such looking right on a tv monitor. not 100% you will have this problem but it is a common one especially on cheaper tv's.

Casual work will be absolutely flawless. I personally have a GTX 760 2GB, which is a few years older than your 960 and it runs my 4K TV at 60Hz without any problems. Simple tasks like using MS office, surfing the internet and watching 4K movies experience was without any issues.

But gaming was terrible at 4K. If you scale down the resolution to full hd and game settings to medium, AAA titles will run at 60fps.

If an older card does not have issues doing casual work at 4K@60Hz, a newer 960 won't have it too!

In my country the prices for the card are higher. A normal zotac 1050ti is around 180. An Asus 1050ti strix is about 240. I have a gtx 970 aside. Might keep it for the 4k tv and keep the 960 for 1080p projector.
