I've always used the lowest end cards for pure video playback. Did it for many years before I ditched HTPCs and went to Andorid TV. My ONLY issue with the Shield is the color reproduction issues when playing an HDR file on a non-HDR display.I installed the GeForce 1030 card last night. Running Kodi 18.0 64-bit w/ Windows 7.
It’s working great with my BenQ W6000 for both 1080p and 4K HDR files.
Hopefully it will work great w/ the JVC NX5 playing back 4K HDR.
Yeah, I think most people into PC have had that expensive PC card experience. Been bitten once too many.
That’s why I was hoping the 1030 card (rated for 8K video) is sufficient since I don’t want to spend another $300 on a card that will be beaten by an $80 card in about 5 years.
I’m exactly 0% into gaming, just pure 100% video playback w/ Kodi.
And yes, I’m sure someone is thinking, “If you’re buying a JVC NX5, why are you bothered by a PC Card that is only $200-300?”![]()
FWIW I had a different issue with Kodi 18.1 and Windows. Color wasn't washed out, but it was over-saturated big time. Kodi DS player didn't seem to have that issue. You aren't seeing that on your BenQ?
