It's unclear why the author posits that the graphics cards (s)he has on hand only support HDMI 1.1. Just because they only support 1080p output doesn't really mean anything about the HDMI revision they support. PCI-e should have nothing to do with that either.
Also, I'm not sure what spare parts bin the OP has, but if you don't have something that supports anything higher than FullHD/1080p, you've got some ANCIENT graphics cards.
For reference, here's one of the oldest graphics cards I could find on Newegg, the GTS 450. First released in Sept 2010... according to Nvidia it still supports an output resolution max of 2560x1600:

- taspeotis 7y agoThe article says: > Apparently some video cards that I currently run for 4K (which were all bought new within the last 2 years) are somewhere between a 2010 and 2013 level of technology. Which I find unhelpful, because I can buy a new GeForce GT 710 circa 2014 from the local computer store today. (Dirt cheap, passively cooled, I assume that's the niche.) Buying new doesn't mean it's contemporary. A cursory Google suggests my old GeForce 960 (which first came out in 2015; also I'd consider it mid-range at best) supports HDMI 2.0. Elsewhere it mentions a GT 630 which is ... from 2012. So yeah the 2012 era GPU bought two years ago is "somewhere between a 2010 and 2013 level of technology."
