Hi
My system :-
Computer
CPU - Intel core i3 2120
Graphics - integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 ( Max Res 1366 x 768)
Windows 10 - 64 bit
A/V Receiver
Denon AVR-X1500H
Projector
Epson EMP-TW2000 (Max Res with HDMI input 1920 x1080)
Kodi
Krypton 17.6 with Estuary
Video Files
various, but mostly saved as 1080p.
I also have heaps of home videos (not sure of their resolution) and photos.
Connections
All connections are HDMI.
As can be seen from my setup, my weak link appears to be the integrated graphics in my old pc.
My questions are :-
1. Should I instal a graphics card ? Or should the whole pc be upgraded.
I can get a Nvidia GeForce GT 430 very cheap, which can go up to 2560 x 1600.
At this stage, I have no intention of going 4K or playing games.
2. While trying to improve my graphics, should I be looking at software players such as madVR, etc. integrated into Kodi?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
