I know this is probably not going to make a huge difference but wondering whether I should get something like an Nvidia GeForce EN210 1GB graphics card instead of using my Intel i5 9500 processor for 4k film watching?
The processor does okay but I'm looking to run some 10-bit HDR files so wondering if a graphics card would share / take some of the load from the processor?
I don't have hundreds of pounds to spend on this - the graphics card is £10.
I could spent up to £100 but as prices are stupid at the moment... that's why I got that particular processor so it could handle the 4k files, plus, it's for our HTPC which is nearly silent so adding a card with fans would add noise and I fear, a lot more noise.
