Guys, may media player na ba supported ung 4k HDR? Last time I checked, 4k pa lang supported.

Ginagawa ko right now is play the movie directly sa TV via USB. Nadedetect ng TV na HDR sya and auto switch nya picture settings to "HDR brightness". Parang lumalabas I'm better off with the TV as media player mas maganda pa picture quality since displayed ung movie in 4k HDR compared sa PC na 4k SDR lang.. Btw Im using Kodi 17.4 on the PC.

Btw, the movie is encoded in HEVC HDR10

Hi-Media Q10 Pro supports 4K with HDR

Thanks, I also have an NMT that supports 4k HDR. I just wanted my current PC to follow the same route.

4k yes, HDR not yet.

ok kaya ito for 4k playback?


gt 1030 2gb

[rulesmeister]

^Nope, get at least 4GB of graphics memory. GTX 1050ti ang minimum pascal-based GPU for smooth 4k HDR playback.

[ninjababez®]

^thanks bro, ill wait this off the purchase nalang siguro pag nagmura na.

^Nope, get at least 4GB of graphics memory. GTX 1050ti ang minimum pascal-based GPU for smooth 4k HDR playback.

hirap ba pag below 4GB for 4K HDR?

[rulesmeister]

^yep, matakaw kasi sa graphics memory ang 8.3M pixels per frame tapos 24, 30 or 60 frames per sec.. The HDR content will probably consume some of the graphics memory too. Currently my total gpu memory is at 6+GB, playing a 4k 40GB movie file size will take 40+% GPU memory utilization (non HDR movie pa un). I haven't checked it if how much GPU memory pag 4k/HDR movie.If 2GB memory lang, Im sure nasa 100% utilization na ung GPU mo which will cause stuttering..

[ninjababez®]

^thanks for the heads up.  Btw may 1050 ti ba na 6gb ram?

[rulesmeister]

4GB lang ang GTX 1050ti, ung 6GB na mention ko is shared graphics memory (GPU+APU/onboard).

[DTNS]

^thanks for the heads up.  Btw may 1050 ti ba na 6gb ram?

wala. get a GTX 1060 with 6GB DDR5. pwede ka na rin mag Full HD games na naka-max ang settings! 

[ninjababez®]

^lampas na sa budget bro

btw ano ang advantage ng dual channel and single channel memory sa HTPC?

You can always scale it down. Youtube allows bitrate 4X that of typical Blurays when running in 8K.

Hello! I just got a 55 4k HDR capable tv. I would like to build an HTPC running on windows os and can play 4K HDR content without any hiccups. Any tips? Thanks!

[wheelee]

I read that the ryzen 3 220G is a good budget HTPC setup.

[jcads]

Tignan ko yan Sir... I'm torn between building an HTPC or just get a NMT... Salamat!
