Any gpu made in the last 10 years should do it as long as it supports HDMI 1.4.

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

It really depends on how you are connecting your monitors and if they are high refresh rate.

 

Pretty much anything over the last three generations, maybe longer, should be able to push 4K 60Hz over DisplayPort, but will need to be more specific if you use HDMI.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)

would the new gt 1030 suffice?

But it will have reduced chroma sampling which would suck.  You need DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0 to get a good result I believe.

Yes it would. Other option are AMD 550 or 560. (the same price bracket)
