Yes. Decoding a video isn't that hard for a cheap new graphics card. In fact, it can decode 8K 60Hz with DisplayPort.

Guter Tag, Leute

 

i am planning to build a small form factor movie streaming HTPC and was thinking to use the Pentium G4560.

now here is my question: is the G4560 able to procces a 4k 60fps video while paired with a RX550?

since this will most likely be the bottleneck i thought i'd ask

 

with great regards,

H264 or H265?

 

for H265 you will need a i5 or better OR a kabylake CPU or 10xx GPU (they have h265 hardware acceleration)

 

if it is H264 you may be ok but I feel it might cut it close (not really sure)

 

EDIT: I think you will be fine.

Youtube is all h264, Netflix 4k is h265. the difference is h265 can get the same quality for half of the bandwidth at a cost of being 4x harder to process.

 

The CPU is kabylake so you should be fine.
