I don't think it meets the minimum requirements for subscription streaming such as Netflix HDR either. For flawless playback of anything, I recommend a 4GB or higher model beginning with inexpensive GTX 960 ( I use) or GTX 1050Ti (positive feedback). I would also consider full size dual fan models but it is not a requirement. Also be prepared to use W8 or W10 with or without Creators Updates (I use the latest Fall Creators Update, FCU).
Hi
I do have an Intel based HTPC and i used it to playback all my stuff trough Kodi.
After some issues with the afedchin build and the lack of HDR capabilities i came across your guide to achieve 3D MVC and 4K HDR playback correctly.
If i understood all that i read correctly i do need the following for perfect 2D, 3D MVC and 4K HDR playback.
- Nvidia graphics card
- lav filter
- mad vr
- mpc be
As I'm a little unsure about please let me ask some questions
- will kodi automatically invoke the external player if an 4k HDR mkv is selected?
- is the Gainward GeForce GT 1030 SilentFX (2GB HDMI 2.0b HDCP2.2) sufficient for flawless 3D and 4K HDR playback?
- if i set the resolution to 3840*2160 as default for kodi and windows all will be upscaled but will it autoswitch colorspace for UHD and non UHD content?
- will 3D MVC playback autoswitch resolution to 1080p?
Thanks in Advance
