P5Q Pro Turbo Graphics Card Options

[shailesh1]

Hi All,

I have an Asus P5Q Pro Turbo motherboard with a Q9300 CPU, 8GB RAM and Radeon R7 250X Graphics card in a HTPC Case.

I am looking to upgrade my graphics card as I want to watch 4K movies now. From reading the forums and similar questions, good cards are 1050 Ti and GTX 660 but these recommendations are mainly for gaming.

Would these cards be good for watching 4K blurays?

Thanks

GT 1030 is also capable of 4k movies but it may depend on the codec your movies are in. Please don't expect it to game at 4k at all though.

Thanks for the reply. I won't be gaming at all, it is just to watch bluray iso images, mainly 3D 1080p and the odd 4K UHD

I forgot to add watching 4K GoPro and Bridge Camera footage of holidays etc.
