Thanks, that is some helpful info for prospective K600 card buyers. It looks like this card with an adapter cable from Club 3D is the best, most economical way to go for a 4K/60Hz CustoMac mini system. 4K TVs with HDMI 2.0 are quite common and have come way down in price lately. So all one would need is their Quadro K600 + this cable for it to work properly. Note that this white cable below is close to ten feet long or 3 meters. If you don't have anywhere to hide it just get the shorter adapter. See below.With the card idling while pushing 4K, it's around a 2 or 3, primarily due to some rattle in the fan itself rather than as a result of the RPM. It's louder than the CPU fan, but this is due to its different frequency content; a 3.5" hard drive that is actively seeking would be about as loud. It easily blends into the background HVAC noise here.

I know that the cable will cost more than the graphics card but going with this specific cable should give 100 % success on most newer 4K televisions. DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 cables that are not active will not work. If anyone wants a black adapter where you supply your own HDMI 2.0 cable instead, one of those without retail packing only costs 21 USD.

I have not tested these yet as I only have a 1080p television. So if anyone tries this for a Home Theater setup let us all know how it works for you. Most everyone in this community uses Club 3D adapters to get 4K/60 with monitors and TVs that only have HDMI inputs and no DP.
