Hello,
this if my first post here.
The computer that powers my 1080p HDTV in my living room is from 2014. The LG Plasma TV is now failing, so I want to buy another TV, and 4k is cheaper -- and way more common! -- than 1080p these days. I know I need a new graphics card, and think I found one. I do not game, I only need a graphics card that is "good enough" to power a new 4k TV on an old PC. I found:
GIGABYTE GeForce GT 1030 2GB
Which fits the bill. Now I have these questions:
Joe
PS: Here are my computer specs: (Just a broad view. I can get much more detailed if necessary.)
Hewlett-Packard h8-1360t 1.00 (year 2014)
3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-3770
16 gig RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 (Display adapter)
Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)

- Can my old PC handle this card?
- How easy is the install? (I have never installed any hardware before)
