ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Using a 50in 4K TV as a monitor (supports 60hz refresh via HDMI 2.x). Also have a 32in TV 1920x1080 which is a second monitor/TV connected via DVI to HDMI. Card must support HDCP2.x. Would prefer that the new card have 2 HDMI 2.x ports. Still need to have a dual link DVI as I also have a 27in 2560x1440 monitor that I sometimes use when I want higher refresh. Case mounts the MB horizontally and I have no space restrictions in any direction. RGB on the card is preferred. I may upgrade to I7 or Ryzen in the next 3-4 months.
