Hi All
I am thinking of upgrading my graphic card as I now have a 4K monitor. My current card can't handle that. I have read on this forum that some cards Nvidia don't work well with PD. Has anyone got suggestions for a not too expensive 4K card that is sure to work with PD 16?
Regards

err. i recommend GTX 1050Ti >/= 2GB Vram; for, you don't need extra power supply dongle because the gpu draws power from PCIe slot. totally working with PD16 is up to CL... err, you'll see the fingers pointing to each other, CL & nVidia... already... ^^

Thanks for that info PepsiMan. I will have a look at your suggestion. Unfortunately the innards of a PC are another country to me! I depend on "experts" to add hardware but I am wary to spend good money and then find I have more problems than I started with.
