Just to give everyone a heads up, I messaged ASUS Product Support about the Z590 motherboards (since they do support 10th gen Intel CPUs) and none of the Z500 (Z590) series motherboards from Asus at least (and I think this applies to all the other motherboard brands: MSI, Gigabyte, ASrock, etc.) supports Intel SGX (got removed in that motherboard generation) for playing 4k UHD bluray content, even if they have a HDMI port that supports 1.4b to 2.0 on the motherboard itself. Going to assume only Z490 (I do own a Z490 board already that has one of these already and has the Intel SGX feature on it and HDMI 1.4b (4k 30 fps only) on it already and does work with the PowerDVD software) and before supports both the Intel SGX and the HDMI port on the same board needed to play the content with 7th-10th gen Intel CPUs of course.

I thought this info would be useful for Cyberlink to have in there System Requirements to be updated on which motherboards exactly that supports 10th gen and below support, only Z490 and below supports this.

It's really good to know the feedback you received from ASUS.


Per the playback requirements cyberlink published, it specifies that not only the CPU and also the motherboard must support the Intel SGX feature in hardware perspective:

I believed it is well-said.

According to the new Intel SGX announcement here, 4K Blu-ray playback on Windows PC has came to the dusk already.

It's time to simply use a 4K Blu-ray player to play your collection on TV.
