I'm Building a HTPC 4K PC system and I'm searching for a cards with HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 compatibility. The information that is found is not clear or consistent and nothing on [HDCP 2.2] - High-bandwidth digital Content Protection.
 
The information on each SPEC is not consistent or clear as a few state HDMI or Deep Color but not HDMI 2.0
 
This is my third HTCP system and one I want to be assured its 4K HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 Compliant prior to the purchase of a card as the watchable difference is Huge!
 
Could anyone possibly help identify cards that are HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 Compliant/compatible?
 
Thanks, moe

    GTX 950 and GTX 960 have both HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2

    ...an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.

    Thanks, mod
    I have been looking at the Part#: 02G-P4-2966-KR  
    GTX  EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+ Whisper Silent Cooling 1279MHZ Graphics Card
     
    It’s listed as HDMI 2.0
    BUT nothing about HDCP 2.2 compatibility or support for H.265 and I want/need to see it in writing myself listed on a spec page or on something from the manufacturer you would think it has to be listed somewhere?
     
    Again thanks, moe

    All GTX 960's and 950's have HDCP 2.2 
     
    So far all the Nvidia cards with HDCP 2.2 are
     
    GTX 1080
    GTX 1070
    GTX 960
    GTX 950

    Thanks Mod-Gabriel, its been long and drawn out sourcing a Video Card for my new HTPC 4K PC system.
     
    I have only been able to theoretically from information and reviews confirm EVGA GTX 950 and 960 Video Cards support OR are compatible with HDMI 2.0 - HDCP 2.2 - at true 4k Resolutions of 4096 x 2160 @60
     
    I also received a reply from a EVGA Rep who stated: "I can confirm that the GTX 950 and 960 are both HDMI 2.0 compatible and HTPC 2.2" 
    RE: H.265 - The GTX 960 and its GM206 chip also feature support for H.265 encoding and decoding.
     
    Everyone quotes these cards if Only a single manufacture exists and every card is exactly the same?
    The Gigabyte GTX 960 does not support true 4k Resolutions of 4096 x 2160 @60
     
     
    Here is the Links to the 3rd party supporting information:

    After much research, too much in fact, I've decided on a card just over $200 CAN Part#: 02G-P4-2966-KR
    EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+ Whisper Silent Cooling 1279MHZ Graphics Card.
     
    Thanks all, Moe

    Just wanted to update this thread regarding HDCP 2.2 compliance. According to Nvidia spec sheet:
    GTX 1060, 1050, and 1050Ti, all support it as well.
     
    The other consideration one might want to be aware of is the HDMI version. The 10 series cards have HDMI 2.0b and the 9 series cards have 2.0
     
    While 2.0 can support 4K@60Hz, 2.0b has a lot of added support with a higher bandwidth like HDR, and a 21:9 theatrical aspect ratio.
     

    W7 Pro 64, MSI X99A Godlike , I7-6850K, EVGA GTX 1080 Ti, G.Skill DDR4 3200MHz 32GB, Samsung 960 EVO 1TB M.2 and 850 EVO 1TB SATA, WD Velociraptor 1TB, Corsair AX1200W, Acer Predator X34 and Oculus.
