All the research I've done says that GPU is what matters for 4K video playback, however on my Phenom II 1100T (yes I know it's ancient by CPU standards) when attempting playback of a 4K video (not encoding or decoding, just straight playback on the version of Media Player Classic that comes with K-Lite) CPU performance is pegged out and it won't smoothly play.
I have a Sapphire R9 380X for a GPU and all research I've done has told me that is more than enough to handle 4K video.
I'm looking to upgrade to a Ryzen CPU and motherboard bundle but I don't have a bottomless budget. What I'd like to know is, which Ryzen is the minimum that I need to be able to seamlessly playback 4K video?
Thank you in advance
