Thanks, the tests are very useful for me to choose a gpu card to pair with i5-Haswell cpu.
A question, have you disabled the Kaby Lake iGPU in test 1 ? Just to make sure that the GTX950 was playing the game, not the iGPU.
I think the limitation of the GT1030 is 4k HDR 24/30p, it can't handle 50/60p. But still waiting for your further testing.

I realise that this thread is mostly concerned with 4K capabilities, but I've just put one of these cards in my HTPC and have a different issue. My issue relates to my AV receiver, and the only possible solution (other than replacing the receiver) is to pass the video and audio through separate ports on this card (HDMI and DVI). Could anyone tell me if I can pass video to a TV using one port and audio to a receiver through the other port?
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your quick response. I'll get the necessary adapter and set it up tomorrow.

Can someone clarify this for me:
If I have GT 1030 with less than Kaby Lake CPU, I can
t play 4K / 4k HDR files with Kodi?
Thanks.

Within Kodi that shouldn't be a problem. The only CPU-specific stuff that I'm aware of is to do with DRM for Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc playback and Netflix etc.
Ok. So 4k HEVC material should not be a problem with GT1030 + Haswell CPU, but HDR won
t work because Kodi simply wont support it yet.

Have a look at the following post where it talks about Intel Harware, NVIDIA GPU's Win7+ and DSPlayer and follow the link:

Do you know if the limitation is because of Haswell CPU or because of GT 1030

The GT 1030.
I tried it with an Kaby Lake i7 7700k and a Haswell i5 4570. Results were the same. I don't think this GPU does any CPU offloading.

Is the 1030 capable of playing 4K HDR (through Kodi and external players like MPC/MadVR)? I don't care for any additional enhancements just 4K HDR playback.
Can it play high bitrate 4K HDR files (like up to 70 Mb/s)?
