Forgot I had a MSI GTX 970 and want to use in my htpc.

The TV is a 4K Samsung QE65Q60BAUXXU.
The htpc has a 3200g (iGPU Vega 8)
16gb 3200 mhz ram
Samsung 970 M.2
Win11
Asus strix x470i with HDMI 2.0b port.

I tried VLC and KMPlayer and on some h265 4k movies I noticed some stutter in both players. The HDMI cable is 2.0

So I was thinking to install my GTX970. But I had a look and it seems that it doesn't support all the codecs and might struggle to display h265 content at 4k 60 ?

Is this true or I'm missing something on my current specs. Thank you.
 
check you gpu/cpu usage, if all fine, than that "stutter" is from movie frame rate out of sync with your refresh rate ie 25fps movie displaying at 60Hz
does your TV has motion enhacements? that can cope with this, it shouild be available in display setings on your TV once you switch source type from PC to something else, then motion judder reduction shoud be there

Oh wow! Interesting. Will have a look when I get home. Yes, all good on the cpu/igpu/ram usage while playing.

This is where I saw the gtx 970 part.


"GTX 970 doesn't have full hardware HEVC decoder. It only have hybrid GPU + CPU decoder. GTX 960/950 and 1000 series or later have full hardware HEVC decoder."
