Graphics card for 4k 60hz desktop use...

[BEN_UK]

Hello,

I need a graphics card that will do 4k 60hz for Windows use general desktop work email office etc.

My current onboard video card will only do 4k 30hz and it destroys my eyes.

No gaming needs at all.

What the cheapest video card that will drive 4k 60hz.

I have a giga byte M28u hdmi 2.1 monitor. Which my series X and PS5 connect to but also need to connect my aging computer.

Are hdmi 2.1 graphics cards still very rare and far to expensive ? 4k 120hz in Windows....

Thanks Ben

You just need a HDMI 2.0 graphics card for 4K 60fps.

GTZ 1050ti should which you can pick up for £200 .... others may know cheaper options?

I believe my problem is my onboard video card with HDMI is only 1.4 version.

So I just need a video card that's HDMI 2.0

£200 far to much for me.

Was hoping for around £50 surely that's do able for HDMI 2.0 card ?

Just unsure on what model

I'm sure the GTX 950 supports 4k 60 and they can be picked up for £80.

GT 1030 is the cheapest card I can find with hdmi2.0

edit; or GT710 if you get one of the re-released ones and not a 2016 card

Thanks for the information.

I'll go look at second hand prices.

What motherboard is it? If it has Displayport 1.2 then you can get an adapter to HDMI 2.0 which should be cheaper than a GPU.

Or if the monitor itself has Displayport, then a DP to DP connection works. In that case it even if your motherboard doesn't have DP, it should allow you to use a cheaper GPU with DP instead.

Like other have said above the GT 1030 with GDDR5 is the best your going to get some older models use GDDR4 so be careful when buying.

This one is currently £72 and has HDMI and DP.
