I want to watch 4k movies from pc on my 4k tv , maybe the odd game but main focus is 4k movies.

Current system

amd fx 8350 - cpu
gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3 - mobo
msi r7850 twin frozer 3 - gfx
16gb ddr3 - ram
1000 watt - psu

Any ideas please , ive looked for info online but keep reading conflicting things about gfx cards so i have come here , should have come straight away.

cheers
 
Just see if ive got this clear , if i got the above cable my current setup will be fine ?

Basically any card with hdmi 2.0 will do 4k movies , what amount of grunt will it need ?
 
lg 49 uh850v - tv
my hdmi cable is 2.0 , im sure its just 2.0 not with a or b , cannot remember
mpc-hc (need to add madvr) / also use powerdvd16 but only for 3d - software

looking at specs of tv it says HDMI 3 (HDMI 2.0a) it says 2.0a does that mean cannot do 4k with hdr ? but can only do 4k ?

i dont play games anymore so dont need to worry about that.
 
Cheers IT Troll

I might have more questions we shall see , currently having other issues with dj equipment that cost me a lot of money so need to sort that now before moving forward on this

Thanks again
