I'd recommend looking at the specs of you're GPU on the manufacturers website.

I don't have an issue with my GTX 950 card. Its driver is up to date and it works well. It's just in case I could make the mobo work without it and therefore I could consider selling away the card. So the question is whether I could make the HD 530 deliver 4K via HDMI?

Yeah. Intel HD 530 will deliver 4K just like HD 4600 does. HD 530 still has problems from what I've seen.

The Gigabyte specs on the GA-H170-HD3 suggest that for 60Hz refresh rate 1920 x 1200 is the maximum resolution. You can go higher with an HDMI 1.4 cable but you will be restricted to a 24Hz refresh rate - that may be just fine for your requirements, but I would suggest trying it for a week or so before you actually commit to sell your GTX950 GPU. :thumbup:

It is in the board UEFI/specs - see the board specs on the OEM website for the board/CPU graphics support. For instance, from Z170N-Wifi specifications sheet:

    * The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
  2. 2 x HDMI ports, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096x2160@24 Hz
    * Support for HDMI 1.4 version.
  3. Support for up to 3 displays at the same time
  4. Maximum shared memory of 512 MB
vs the Z170X Ultra Gaming:

Onboard GraphicsIntegrated Graphics Processor-Intel® HD Graphics support:
  1. 1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096x2160@24 Hz
    * Support for HDMI 1.4 version.
