Doing so should allow you to see the difference between 4K and FHD. There should not be a video card requirement to do this.However, I don't know whether the issued software will allow the needed cropping. My impression is that the industry really would prefer to use 4k as a vehicle to reset the digital image infrastructure, get rid of a lot of legacy hardware and software in order to move out with a much more capable set of standards. So managing the combination of older hardware and 4k photo software will not be easy</blockquote>
