Hello Kodi experts!
I apologize for posting on an old thread, but I looked for any recent discussion regarding the RX 560 GPU and there were none
I am trying to negotiate to get an RX560 2GB for cheap to upgrade my HTPC and I was hoping someone would tell me if I'll be able to run 4k HEVC content at 30fps with everything out of the box? Or do I need to learn some new things like "madvr" and "external players" and "tone mapping" (I've been reading through the GT 1030 thread cos that was another option I might be able to get for cheap).
I am very willing to learn how to do all of it, if i need to.
I am already running Kodi v18 RC4 with a very low-spec GPU (GT210) and it plays my 1080p content fine ... but I'd like to upgrade so I can watch 4k
From the RX560 spec, it says HDMI 2.0 , and from the loads of gaming info (..I'm not a gamer and don't intend to run games on this PC), the RX560 seems like a big step up from the 1030 in it's performance.
