[QUOTE="tony72, post: 1262766, member: 97107"] This part of the forum seems pretty quiet, but I'll ask anyway. My ten year old 1080p TV finally died, and it seemed crazy not to replace it with a 4K set, so I have a 50" 4K Samsung arriving soon. But my HTPC currently only supports 1920x1200 max via integrated graphics. So if I'm going to make full use of the 4K TV, I need to upgrade. I want to keep the HTPC near-silent as it currently is. So currently, I'm looking at fanless GT 1030 cards like [URL="https://www.ebuyer.com/791765-gigabyte-gt-1030-silent-low-profile-2gb-graphics-card-gv-n1030sl-2gl"]Gigabyte GT 1030 Silent Low Profile 2GB Graphics Card | Ebuyer.com[/URL] as the simplest solution, although I had a bad experience with a fanless graphics card in the past. Another route would be a new mobo with more up-to-date integrated graphics that supports 4K, but then I'm probably looking at a new CPU and memory also, so that's a lot more money.
