4300G enough?

[wildgg]

I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to APU's so forgive me if this is a stupid question..

It will be used with a 58'' 4k tv, 4k playback is not needed, 1080p would be fine.
It will be used to watch movies and livestreams(twitch/youtube/F1TV), no gaming.

Is the 4300G good enough to run this?

a 4300g will output 4k video to a TV just fine.

 

It can't 3d render 4k well, but output is no issue.

It'll do just fine at 4K playback. Just make sure the motherboard supports HDMI 2.0 at least.

 

I run my TV off a PC, who's hardware swaps depending on whatever side project I'm doing. The M.2 drive with the OS configured for such is like the neighborhood cat. Ensuring HDMI 2.0 output is the only real requirement, where anything capable of doing that is also capable of doing the task at hand.

 

My i7 4790k on the other hand only came with an HDMI 1.4, which means it needs some sort of e-waste display adapter (at a minimum) to run it, so its currently supported by a 3950x and GT 1030.
