[SOLVED] 4k display graphics card

[mrthickness]

hey guys.
new here so please be gentle .
I currently have a gen3 i7 , 32gb ram pc and I have just had a new 4k monitor for it.
but I don't know if my setup will give me a 4k / uhd resolution/display on it or just a hd display.
so im looking for a graphics card ( pref NVidia / GeForce ) to just display 4k and the odd bit of photoshop.

would a gtx 1050 ti card give me that or not ?
my motherboard is a asus pbz7-v lx and I am using the onboard graphics for now.

any help would be great as im wondering if just a new graphics card or upgrade to a gen 8 i7 with new motherboard would be more cost effective.

thanks

Intel HD Graphics 4000 supports resolution up to 1920×1200 through HDMI and 2560×1600 through DisplayPort. Therefore you will need a new GPU to display at 4K. When you look at the specs sheet for the 1050Ti it will support 4K https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1050/ via Displayport 1.4 or HDMI 2.0b. Did your monitor come with any video cables?

Much lesser GPU's than a 1050 ti can display 4k. A GT1030 or GTX 750 ti for example. Pretty much any GPU with display port should do 4k 60hz if im not mistaking.

Then you should be OK with any new GPU like the 1030 or 1050Ti.

A 1050 ti is a waste of money unless you plan on doing some gaming or utilizing it's potential in some other way. Much cheaper cards will like a 1030 or 750 ti will do fine if all you want to do is display 4k on the desktop.
