CPU in this machine is an Intel i5-4670K @3.4GHz but does run cool overclocked to 4GHz
GPU is Asus GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5
8GB system memory

Should this be good enough?

I've tried a 41GB 4K film in VLC player and its very choppy and goes grey alot, but in MPC player it seems to work fine.

Thanks
Pete

I have heard to install a version inbetween then upgrade to the desired version, I may do this to avoid any potential loss.

Best ist:
13 -> 14 -> start once -> 15 -> start once -> 16 -> start once -> 17

Well, 4K is one thing but possibly 10-bit can be a challenge as your GTX760 is not likely able to decode that with hardware-acceleration, so it must be done via software/CPU.

No that's way too much steps in between.

I assume at this point I'm better to stick with 2160p x264 8bit videos until I upgrade to a video card that supports HEVC hardware decoding?

Glad you said that, wasn't looking forward to all that installing, lol.
What would you recommended installing in between?

Thanks

)

Kodi will retain the older local databases, so don't throw them away just yet (just in case...).

^^ you do need to start it once after each upgrade Wink

If you want v18 you can just skip v17

Your GTX760 is indeed getting a bit old in the current HEVC 10bit HDR landscape. As long as you plan to use Windows 7/10 you could try a simple $70-80 GT1030 card. FYI, the GT1030 card is not Netflix-compliant, should you want to use that later.

The GTX 1050 3MB or higher cards should drop in price now that the RTX 2080 is coming. However the 2070/2060 cards are already delayed... Rolleyes

There are also the AMD video cards... But it also depends on how deep your pockets are.

Depends if your update Process work Tongue

With Vanilla Kodi would that work. But my way is just save.

well i own a GTX 1060 and it literally pulls off everything for me , Tongue

if you plan to buy something i won't recommend to pay a hefty price for RTX or GTX 1070-1080Ti series one , 1060 does a good job.

GTX 1060 Max Q-Design 6GB is good enough. anyways congrats for ur new 4K TV.
