This PC currently has an Nvidia GeForce GT 710 which in modern graphics
terms couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
Couldn't even play video from my camera.
However up until recently graphics cards were both scarce and expensive.
Just started comparing the 710 to 730 (which I have seen around £50) and
the review was flattering to neither.
Any idea of the lowest spec which would drive a 4K screen, cost under £100?
I've realised how long it is since I looked at all this and last time I looked it took quite a bit of searching to work out what was (possibly)
what.

Friend of mine just got a 1070 for £125 off ebay, if that price point is useful to know.

Be wary of used cards, as they might be ex-mining GPUs that have been thrashed 24/7. There's a higher risk of failure with those, and you have no warranty.
Sold my 1060 for £80 which I was a bit disappointed about, but hey ho. The going price at the time was a lot nearer to £100.
