Hello,

 

I bought a 4K monitor for my old HP computer. I am trying to find a basic graphics card that will play 4K video. Current graphics is the AMD Radeon 6450, which i read is around 27w max power consumption. The power supply is the standard HP 300watt.

Motherboard is Cleveland GL8

 

Thank you

 

Best Regards

Sam

Unfortunately, I have bad news for you

 

There is no basic video card that has enough power to display at 4k resolution.

 

You will need a PC with a powerful processor  and a PSU with at least 450 Watts RMS as well.

An AMD HD 7750 will be about the best you can do.

 

It will work with the installed PSU.
