Why do you have to add a 150+EUR GPU? There are many cheap options. You can get Radeon R7 250 under $50, which absolutely destroys i7-6700k's integrated HD530.

- jsheard 10y agoThe R7 250 doesn't have a single 4K output, nevermind the two he needs. For 4K you need Displayport 1.2 or HDMI 2.0. (Technically HDMI 1.4 also supports 4K but only at 24hz, which is fine for TVs but a miserable experience on a PC desktop)
- izacus 10y agoAs other commenter said, none of the cheap GPUs come with DisplayPort I need to drive my current 34" UWD display or future 4K displays :/
- jdietrich 10y agoLow-end GPUs are a very poor value proposition. For $89 you could have an RX 460 with nearly 3x the performance of the R7 250 plus HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.4.
- std_throwaway 10y agoWhat is the added value of 5 times more than enough compared to 2 times more than enough?
- jdietrich 10y agoThe R7 250 is considerably less than enough if you have a 4k monitor. GPUs aren't just for gaming - if you use Photoshop or Premiere, you'll want a decent GPU. An increasing number of applications are making use of GPGPU processing.
