For a long time I have been running a dual monitor system with a Full HD
22" and a "less than" smaller monitor (Dell 1505FP) off my Nvidia GeForce 710.
I am used to this, and would like to retain the extra footprint.
The obvious step would be a 4k monitor which works well for me off my
laptop, as 4k monitors seem relatively cheap at the moment (or at least
TVs are) but my graphics card won't support that resolution.
Any recommendations for a suitable graphics card?

Any 10 series nvidia card.
It's worth checking outputs - some older/lower end cards will do 4K on Displayport but not HDMI. Some TVs need HDMI 2.0 rather than HDMI 1.4, or will only do 4K at 30Hz over HDMI 1.4.

The mother board is PCI_Express 2.0.
The cards are PCI Express 3.0
I assume that they would run but at reduced performance, which leaves the maximum resolution in question.
Looks as though I may have to suck up the loss of the screen (perhaps it
can be fixed) or look for a 15" monitor.

Just started looking.

Offered on eBay for not a massive amount compared to the 8GB 1070s.
Does this look a reasonable solution to my needs?
