I think a Geforce 1030 can do 4K, HDR and 3d under Windows 10 has all then eeded hardware/driver support. The issue is in finding a Kodi build which can do MVC 3D playback AND 4K natively, the 3D MVC build is only for Kodi 17 and the developer who maintained the MVC fork got upset and stopped updating it.

There are various solutions that call on PowerDVD or another player to play MVC content but this just seems clunky (IMHO)   
 Thank you for some useful information. I hadn't realized the only dev who worked on the MVC fork had another hissy fit. I thought this was a place for grown-ups to work together towards a common goal.

Doe that fork not do 4K? I'm not interested in updating Kodi every few weeks. I want a system that works (which I sort of have at the moment) and not mess with it constantly. I understand the desire to build and build and build but for me once it's working and working well you need to really wow me to make a further change.  
Not sure about the fork support for 4K or HDR support in general, I don't think any current Kodi build does HDR but NVidia 10XX on Windows can with other apps. For some reason Netflix insist on 3GB video RAM for 4K support so you may need a 10XX card with 4GB+ VRAM in certain scenarios.

Hardware wise Intel broke MVC support in newer hardware so newer hardware can do 10K/60 but not MVC, older hardware can do max 10K/30 but can do MVC.

To me it seems if using Windows then Nvidia has full hardware/driver support but software isn't there yet. Also, next gen TVs will likely make 12bit RGB available and at least for Linux it looks likely they will skip the current YCbCr 10bit implementation and go 12bit RGB as its easier to work with since nearly all Kodi Linux build do overlay and mixing in RGB (Not sure about Windows).
