Yes and no. It's important if you are trying to play something that needs HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2, HEVC 265 decoding and your built in GPU doesn't support any of those.

If it does, than it doesn't matter. My $40 Android box can decode 10bit HEVC 60FPS 4K video.

But you have a 1080p monitor. 4k videos are rendered down to 1080p when your resolution is 1920x1080. They may be sharper than original 1080p but still your resolution is the same. For this instance, it seems your board's chipset is pretty much sufficient for full hd.
