madVR Hardware requirements?

[PeterAndersson]

I just got a samsung ks8005 55" tv and now im going to invest in a new htpc.

I have been locking at a Intel NUC NUC7i5BNK or Intel NUC NUC7i3BNK will they be able to handle MadVR at 4k? if i understand it correctly they have built in 10bit-4K decoding, so the question does the cpu and the iGPU have enough horsepower to run MadVR upscaling or should i build a HTPC with a dGPU?

Im watching mostly 720p & 1080p and a few 4k movies.

Now i know that the cpu's im talking about just where released so i understand if you can't give me a 100% correct answer but it should be known by this point how intel gen 6 cpus (U version) handle madVR?

get a dGPU.

it is not rare that intel NUC GPU are not really usable for madVR because they can't be used at max boost clock or and are thermal throttling.

U and T CPU are pretty much a money robbed anyway.

NUCs are terrible system IMHO. expense can get loud and have bad performance. there are better mini PC that do a better job.
