If you are trying to be cheap with 4K you are not going to have a good experience.

What do you suggest then that is not going to be a lot of money?

Probably. My 750ti does it with tons of headroom so I imagine the 750 will fare fine.

Wait why are you cheaping out on this when I assume you have a 4K tv/monitor?

Really? I only have about $300-350 so I'm needing a cheap graphics card for the 4k TV. Thanks for the input.
It only needs to display and play 4k YouTube videos.

GTX 750 Ti does not support VP9 hardware decoding which is what Youtube uses these days, Youtube does not encode H.264 4K videos anymore

You need minimum a GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 card, GTX 1050 2GB GDDR5 card or GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5 card

Is this a troll?

My old gtx280 handles 4k fine.

Any cheap modren card will be fine.

Looks like old GTX750 no HDMI 2.0 or DP1.3
RX550 or GTX1050

/thread
If its only for 4K Youtube get the GT 1030. The non ddr4 version if possible.

lol fuck you man i encoded a 40 minute video on a ryzen 2600 and radeon 7800. yes, the old radeon card.

GTX 1050 3GB is the MINIMUM required for netflix 4k streaming.

encoding support is not the same as decoding support

4K@30Hz? Anything with HDMI 1.4 or any DP
4K@60Hz? Anything with DP 1.2 or HDMI 2.0.

he said he wants to watch video, not play games
a literal intel integrated card plays youtube in 4k

Honestly the cheapest answer might be a 4K Chromecast. They play YouTube just fine. You control it from your phone. Botnet caveats apply

Not every integrated card is enough. You require a very recent Intel processor.

Oh thats the best answer. Do this OP.

Who gives a damn about hardware encodes? Any i5 should be able to chug that 4K video.

> tons of headroom

maybe for spreadsheets

>Who gives a damn about hardware encodes? Any i5 should be able to chug that 4K video.
The difference is 10w of load vs 80w.

Btw. the cheapest 4k, HDR, HDMI2.0 Platform is an AMD Athlon 200GE with onboard video

Intel don't put HDMI 2.0 on motherboards

Ooooh. That's important.

order from aliexpress

He probably just needs a GPU not a whole system

what he means is this + a cheap mobo is the same price as a cheap 4k card. so its a smarter choice if he sells his cpu, mobo ram and buys a new set

Over long periods of time, yes it can be.

this and he won't ever have to deal with pic related

You dont need a high end graphics card for 4K YouTube. You could literally get a piece of shit card from a decade ago. You just need a 4K display and a machine that wont choke out on the packets its receiving. You could buy a raspberry pi and do this if you really wanted to.

I might do this, thanks user.

Thanks to everyone who helped. It looks like I'll man up and get a 1050 for some gaymin and YouTube.

1050 3GB for Netflix 4k, don't get the 2GB version and fuck yourself out of potential netflix 4k streaming.

You must be new to say Raspberry Pi, that's shit autists freaked out over in 2011 Jow Forums, I've been here that long.

lolno man, youtube does 4K in VP9 now. You either have a beefy quad-core i7 level processor or a GPU/iGPU with native VP9 HW decoding.

As a side note, would a i5 from 2012 @ 3.7Ghz be great for it? I don't think it would matter if I have a decent GPU in it.

If you have a decent GPU, the GPU will take care of everything assuming everything is working right.

You could probably do lower bitrate 4k content on that i5, but higher bitrate 4k bluray remuxes might be too much without hardware decode.

Probably not at 30fps, 60fps I'm not sure.

this too

Cool, it only needs to load the upcoming 4K porn and YouTube, I'll be gaming on a Xbox One X. Thanks.

Damn I guess my Core 2 Duo and GeForce 6150 dont know their own strength lol.

I can't wait for 4K hentai to become mainstream ^.^ I upgraded to 1080p in early 2011. I had the same 2ms response time monitor since then and it has never failed me. Oh by the way, should I snag a 120hz Chromecast 4k for 120hz YouTube off of a phone or does it not really matter for a Xbox One X? I think only 60hz would be needed but it has ChromeCast for phone youtube plays for now.

Buy the cheapest hdmi 2.0 card. Be sure it supports hdmi 2.0 or you wont be able to do 4k 60hz. It doesnt need to be powerful i can drive 4k 60hz off my macbook pro with integrated geaphics.

How many dropped frames?

he's probably a boomer that can't see more than 24fps anyway.

0%

> would a i5 from 2012 @ 3.7Ghz be great for it?
I have an i7 @ 4.2 but can disable half of the threads for you. Give the test video.

lol, you lying

my 5820k generally hits around 30-40% CPU use during 4k playback without GPU hardware acceleration. w/ GPU hardware acceleration it's around 5% CPU use and around 60% GPU video decode (as measured by windows 10 task manager).

I'm running at 4.0Ghz, so I could see some i3's and older i5's having issues.

That's AMD right?

>spending money just to play 4k youtube videos

No, i7-5820k. 6 core 12 thread. running at 4Ghz (stock is 3.3Ghz)

4k youtube seems just fine on my ancient 2500k

Integrated Intel graphics and yeah the mobo connector is compatible

Why does linus make these dumb videos instead of working on linux?

>i9
What the fuck are you doing with that kind of power, trying to run two instances of Atom?

dummy look at who contributes to linux
if he dont shill them, where his code come from??

well now he can start shilling IBM because they own RedHat and combined make more commits than Intel now

lets hope they start pushing the POWER processors for cloud workloads and that shit starts to filter down to enthusiasts

shitposting on Jow Forums when he should be on /v/

But you still need GTX 1050 with 3GB of RAM for netflix 4k.

I have a GTX 960 with 4GB of RAM, and it doesn't work.

>You need minimum a GT 1030 2GB GDDR5
He doesn't if the CPU is good enough and VP9 doesn't require that much to hardware decode. Don't need HEVC support either if it's a decently modern CPU, any GPU which is capable of outputting 4k will do just fine.

OP does need to make sure the GPU has HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2, so there's that.

>You either have a beefy quad-core i7 level processor or a GPU/iGPU with native VP9 HW decoding.
no, you don't.

>would a i5 from 2012 @ 3.7Ghz be great for it?
very probably but no guarantees :)

Here's some context which may or may not tell you much: On my Ryzen 1600 with a RX570 which does NOT have VP9 hardware decoding mpv uses "150%" playing a VP9 4k 60fps video which is about the load of one core/one and a half threads. Since mpv uses plenty of threads frequency sits at something like 2.6GHz. Further, playing 3 4k videos (one on each of my 4k monitors) uses way less than half the CPU.

My best guess is that a i5 at 3.7 GHz will be able to hardware decode VP9 4k 60fps just fine and it won't be anywhere near 100% load.

he only said youtube 4k, the 750 is a $45 card (that can be found for way cheaper locally usually) where a 1030 is at least $80

That's because the 700's have the specific hardware decoder support. A ARM phone can play back 4k YouTube thanks to on SoC hardware decoders while a 9800 GTX can't.

>>AMD RX460
AMD RX460-480&560-580 does not have VP9 hardware decoding. Windows has a shader based implementation for Polaris, Linux does not.

I'm reading newegg reviews that say the 750 can do 4k video on youtube fine, I don't know what you're going on about with the VP9 shit.

Thanks bud, I'm probably going with a GTX 750Ti and a Chromecast TV I can get for $240 at Walmart. The same TV is $450 on newegg, I'm not liking that they're jacking up the prices there, have you noticed that?
