Netflix computer 4k or HDR requires either a intel 7xxx or Nvidia 1xxx
Not seeing anything about 9xx there

Netflix 4K only requires HDCP 2.2, which the 950's-980's support.
HDR is supported in "all Maxwell and Pascal cards"...but whether Netflix (or Microsoft) add additional requirements on top of that I dunno. The 10's definitely work with or without the new Intel DRM.
9XX's *should* work, but it's not like MS has handled HDR very well to begin with. Their desktop implementation is still horrid.

You'll need an nvidia card that not only supports the HDCP 2.2+ spec but ALSO the hardware HEVC chip optimizations needed to decode 4k HEVC in realtime. Those are only found in the most recent nvidia cards and the intel chips mentioned previously. That's the key.
While you can play x264 4k content in other geforce cards as long as they support the resolution, because x264 hardware decoding has been in all of these cards for a few years now, you can't play HEVC, 4k, and now HDR on them.
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo
Check the eighth and ninth generations of PureVideo (and VDPAU feature sets F through H) to find the right graphics card for your hardware decoding video needs.
Generally speaking, if it's a Maxwell (GM) series card, you're out of luck. But if you have a Pascal (GP) series card, you ready to go!
And finally, the cheapest, most robust Home Theatre PC graphics cards supporting VP8/VDPAU-H is the GeForce GT 1030, at about $75.
I hope this helps.
