Cheapest GPU that can drive 2x 4K @60Hz?

Hi,

So I sold my GPU as i never used it (GTX 1080) for any games as I'm studying Cybernetics engineering and don't really need it. I upgraded the rest of my PC specs using the money gained from selling it. PC runs smooth and all, but the integrated GPU in my i7-8700K only runs one of the displays at 60Hz and the other at 30Hz, really distracting the framerate difference when moving the mouse, so i end up using one of my 4K monitors.

 

Needless to say, i want to buy a GPU that can run 2x 4K panels at 60Hz, i prefer nVidia's driver software, but I'm open for any option, all I care about is the price, and ofcourse that it meets my one requirement.

 

Do any of you have any suggestions?

thanks in advance!

 

[Totally unrelated but to avoid anyone asking, my specs are]

- i7-8700K 5GHz OC - MSI Gaming M5 - CPUWatercooled

- 1TB nVME Samsung 960 EVO

- 32GB DDR4 2166MHz]

You could probably just use a 1050 or something else with 2 displayport outs. Mobos usually only have one DP out and one HDMI out onboard, IIRC HDMI doesn't push 4K 60Hz, you need DP or DVI for that.

HDMI 2.0 and above can push 2160p at 60Hz.

Anything Pascal or Polaris (i.e. RX 460/560 and up) can do so.
