4k Graphics card query

[surya_sapui]

Hi Guys,

I recently buy a new TV sony Bravia kd-55x9000e & want to connect through Pc. Main purpose HD Cinema & 4k movie.
But I already have HD graphics card ATI HD 4850. Can this GPU support & deliver 4k content or require a new 4k GPU.

Kindly suggest...

You may not be able to game at 1080p60, forget 4k. Give complete details of the config.

Even entry level 9xx series Nvidia will be able to play videos at 4K I think. Though I am not sure about the 10bit capabilities of these. Otherwise GT 1030 should be good enough I think.

Going by your graphic card spec...
NO, it won't support 4k movie/video playback. You have to get a new GPU. BUT...

I am using GT710 for about a year now, though my purpose is to connect multiple monitors not 4k playback. I am using Core 2 Duo E8400 and G31 chipset board. At least few times everyday, my display crashes. I have tried many troubleshoot options, have RMAed. Nothing works. My guess is that old generation CPU/system and new gen graphic don't work fine and that's the view of some of the members here as well. Some claims it's working fine for them. It's more like a coin toss. It works for some and it gives some troubles for others. My suggestion would be don't buy a new gen GPU.

If you have content in hard disk, move to pendrive or external disk and plug it in your TV and watch the content.
