Hi all
I have been running xbmc 12 for a long time using and upgrading to Kodi 17.6 as its time to play 4K videos and other new formats. I run windows 7 on 2 of my front end pc and would like to know what GFX card I should get to upgrade one front end with a intel GPU and the other with a ATI card GFX card as none of these playback any 4k content.
I would also lie to know which brand and card is better ATI or Nvidia as I don't game on these machines and are only for playback of videos. I would like a GFX card that plays every file format out there as I know there is a few different types of 4K videos like 8bit and 10bit and HDR and other formats that are in 4K like V9 and Hevc.
could anyone tell me what I should upgrade to. I have herd that ATI don't let you have video settings anymore on the new drivers, is this true or have they added them back ? as I like to turn off all processing and colour corrections as I don't like the video touched.
on my ATi I use the old AMF catalyst control centre that lets you adjust settings for video playback like Dynamic Range Full and limited and Deinterlacing.
I have not had much experience with Nvidia so I am not to sure how they work.
so which has better play back ATI or Nvidia and has the most support for 4K filetypes and which plays the better video quality output for HDMI ?
thanks for any help and feedback
