Those fan hubs ^.^

EDIT: @vantt1, this may be a dumb question, but what OS are you running? If it's Linux in any form, you'd need to install official drivers for your GPU, in order to get proper performance. That, and I'm not sure how good the support for Ati/AMD on Linux is these days.

Windows 7, using latest drivers. Would Windows 10 do any better?

Did you get the 4K Ready cable?

It's not the cables or adapters, they work fine when connected to my own i7 machine.

Yep looks like it is the video card.

5770 doesn't have 4K resolution output on any port be it DisplayPort or HDMI

It can do 4K @ 30 Hz via DisplayPort.

Is it the 512mb or 1gb version?

From AMD's own site...

◾Integrated dual-link DVI output with HDCP8
◾Max resolution: 2560x1600
◾Integrated DisplayPort output
◾Max resolution: 2560x1600
◾HDMI® (With 3D, Deep Color and x.v.Color™)
◾Max resolution: 1920x1200
◾Integrated VGA output
◾Max resolution: 2048x1536


so, it is already out of spec, but - if you've got the 512mb version, almost certainly no-go!?

In other news, I do not really know the real world need for AVX / Prime95 on Haswell-E (where this DOES fail) however, for all other benchmarks I can throw at this, my CPU seems more than happy for extended duration, and the temps are well within TJMax... Idle temps are mid 30's, running an AIO cooler

The below is my 5930K, voltage looks exceptional for the clock, the uncore voltage is a little high, but - I'm running it at 4.7ghz :D - temperature is after a couple of hours of CPU-Z stress test.

1 GB version. I'll try swapping it into my i7 machine to see if it can still do 4K. If it can, then it means it's the Celeron that's the bottleneck.

I'm a bit out of date on the 5xxx series but what do you mean by 1GB or 512MB?

I know they are the two different versions of VRAM but I figured they would have the same resolution output as the AMD website notes which is set to 2K for Display port

When you say 4K @30Hz are you referencing DisplayPorts own spec or the video cards?

Either way it is the video cards own output spec that sets the limitation

Well, it shows up in the list of supported resolutions, and I can set it as that resolution. You'd think if ATI/AMD designed the card to top out at 2560 x 1600, they'd at least put a software limit in the drivers or have a warning saying that performance may suffer at this resolution.

Maybe but not always. 
 
It isn't exactly rare for people to see or get resolutions in games, media, or output that their hardware isn't capable of doing due to the OS they run or hard-coded lists of settings.
 
 
Anyway, it seems you've resolved it to the 5770 being the limiting factor. Saves you time and money

Seems like there's no other way. What is the cheapest GPU that can handle 4K @ 30 Hz video playback because I'm a cheapo?

Wihtout any fancy stuff like madVR and without using advanced filters ? Theoretically most Intel integrated GPU should if the processor is desktop and 4th or 5th generation, at least i5. But I think that a Nvidia gtx 750 should pull it off easily. I would not bet that anything below would do it. (I mean most would, but with HEVC after the corner, I would avoid getting something too dated)

I'd prefer not to use integrated graphics, because...

And I think I'd rather just buy more hard drives instead of future proofing for HEVC. Hmm...I could upgrade from the Celeron G1820 to an i3 4170, get a GT 730, 4 more GB of RAM, and another 1150 socket motherboard and more RAM, then I can build another PC for whatever purpose because I already have a spare case, PSU, SSD, HDD and a hypothetical Celeron lying around.
