Anybody know a good 4K graphics card/cards that can run games such as Crysis 3, Battlefield 4 and so on with 4K and max settings and 40+ FPS? I'm not actually going to buy one so my budget is 2,000.

780 Ti or R9 290X. Recommend Crossfire/SLI for 4K.

Not to sure, but, for the extra money you'll get a small boost on higher res displays from the 690. It wont be much of a boost, but it is a boost, all depends on your budget.

I'd go with the 780 Ti personally, SLi.

I would say only 2x 780ti or 2x 290x will suffice for 4k gaming. I would say that max detail 4k is pretty much out of the reach of modern hardware.

Thanks, I'll think over it when I even have the budget for 4K :/  I've seen a $130 1GB GDDR5 support 4K graphics cards, such as the Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X HD 7770 GHZ? O.O what kind of FPS will those get on crysis 3 at lowest with 4K?

extremely bad with a 7770, to get a satisfying experience with 4k, Going for a R9 290X custom cooled is your best choice. At 4k, A R9 290X can max out Crysis 3 getting an average of 44FPS, just imagine at low at 4k with 7770, even worse then that.

Okay before you even start PLANNING to go 4k, let me tell you a little story about how the normal human eye can't see the difference at normal viewing distance anyway. Actually better yet, read the article yourself

Just check the graph/chart in that article and calculate which size screen at which distance you have to be at to make use of 4K

if your looking at gaming at 3840x2160 60hz DONT BUY ANYTHING YET!!!
DisplayPort 1.2 at the moment will not support a single stream image and will only produce a 4k image at 60hz using Multi stream transport (MST).
At the moment HDMI 2.0 is the only way at getting a true 4k image at 60hz with out the use of MST.
At this stage there is no GPU that supports HDMI 2.0 and Nvidia will not say when or even if they will have HDMI 2.0 on there next gen cards.
I also spoke to DisplayPort and they have told me that DP 1.2 not will but "might" support Single stream transport, but there has been no testing or research towards this so it don't look good for DisplayPort.
So untitled HDMI 2.0 is released onto a GPU. Your only option is to buy one of those MST screens and throw it away when the appropriate technology is released.
So if ya on a budget I would wait out.

For people like my self who game on 40" + screens, 4k is the holy grail. A 3840x2160 resolution might not be much of a difference on a 17" screen but for 40" or more there is a huge diferancne. You would be blind not to know the diferance

You are missing the point, you have to be insanely close to the screen to notice 4K - and most people just don't do that.

For example your 40 inch screen, you have to be freakin 2,5 feet(0,6m) from the screen to grasp the full potential of 4K. WHO THE HELL IS 2.5 feet from a 40 INCH !?

I don't see 4K becoming a standard in gaming for a long time.. We have such great DPI now with pure 1080p that 4K will really just seem useless to most.. Some technologies, even though greater, just don't have as big an impact on the market - it's all about supply and demand. And the demand for 4K just won't be there, people are just fine with running 1080.

But whatever, to get back to the subject (which has been answered) - The best buy for 4K gaming would be R9 290 depending on what country you are in. If your country hasnt been hit by the increase of AMD card prices due to mining, then the price/performance ratio on 290 compared to 290X, or any NVIDIA high end cards just is just WAY better.

I have used a 40" Sony XBR for a monitor for over 4 years, and i will never go back to anything that's 40" or less. I tried using a dell 30" and though it had a bigger resolution,it was just too small for me. I sit about 1 meter or less away and i can tell you right now there is a tremendous amount of difference in resolutions when using large screens. 4K is the new way of computing being that fact that you don't have to settle for little tiny screens and sit at ya desk like little hermits. Time to PC like a Boss. The bigger the screen the more virtual realization you get. But this is only accomplished by using bigger resolutions. If ya ask me, 3840x2160 is still too small.
The only reason PC screens are as big as they are is because its the maximum size you get can out of a 1920x1080 resolution without having any loss of pixel density. So yeh i kinda agree on your point when it comes to a 22" screen but 55" screen 4K is a must.

wow a graph chart. Although this is more then debatable, i don't need a graph to tell me what looks better first hand. You obviously don't own a 4K display so you really don't a valid opinion. I own a 4K display and there is more then a noticeable difference and alot more work space when working on a 3840x2160 resolution. Also if 1080p was so great why then do we need Anti-aliasing? at 4k theres almost no need for it.
I dont know why but im starting to see that there are some 1080p fan boys getting around and i don't see the point.
2160p is far much better then 1080p as to 1080p to 720p the end

I'm curious as to how gaming would appear on a Q+ TV. It does have 2160 horizontal lines but vertically it shares the extra subpixels from neighboring pixels, kind of a pseudo-4k.

Id only change to 4K if your on a 40" or more screen.
I got my sony for under $2500 and its an ass kicking to 1080p, but im limited to 30hz at the moment so for games im still at 1080p for now
The time HDMI 2.0 is released on a GPU, the price of a 4K screen will be alot cheaper.

How amazing is 4K at 50" :)  I was amazed at how good watch dogs looks at 4K and makes anything smaller looking like a baby's toy. The picture quality out ways the fact that im stuck on 30hz. I don't even bother using 1080p 60hz anymore its just so crap at 50". I did at first but Iv gotten use to 30hz now and its not a issue to me considering the amount of quality im getting. Its almost like im gaming on a 4K console if that makes sense? So when HDMI 2.0 comes out its going to be another world changer.
Its really annoying to hear anyone say anything about 4K when not even owning a 4K unit them selves. They have no idea what there talking about and just go off what they read.
Here is my verdict
GTX770 4GB is the lowest card you want to go with when gaming at 4K. This card will get you over 30fps no problem in newer games. But the brilliant thing about 4K is that it revitalises older games such as dead space and mass effect.
I agree there is not much difference when under 30" but 40" or more ITS A MUST!
I Also don't understand why people spend thousands on there GPU's and then go buy a average display?

Current generation of GPUs is insufficient for real 4K gaming, unless you Crossfire.

780Ti is useless for 4k as well, since it's crippled by it's small 3GB RAM, Crossfired R290X is better there since at least you have reasonable amount of VRAM, but really, you'd better just wait for the next generation of cards for 4k.

Or of course you can buy Titan Z or something, if you have the money.

For example your 40 inch screen, you have to be freakin 2,5 feet(0,6m) from the screen to grasp the full potential of 4K. WHO THE HELL IS 2.5 feet from a 40 INCH !?


Nobody, but PC gamers sit much closer to their monitors so it is perfect for PC gaming. The difference is noticeable as I am looking at a 28" UHD monitor now. As for the thread, check out benchmarks for r9 290's in crossfire. For around $800 you can game at 4K with the settings pretty much maxed out.

I guess you have never seen a 4k display because FSX at 4k is a as real as it gets , for example London City Extreme at 4k looks like you are in a real airport , 1080p is ok but not a patch on 4k . Get a 4k screen and you will be amazed! I think people said similar things about HD TV but who would want to go back now to 720p?

You can get a r9 290x off ebay for £250, so £500 for 4k gamings not bad as monitors cost around £500 anyway? I can confirm that you have to go crossfire or sli for 4k so this has to be taken into account before getting a 4k screen.

I read a post here a couple weeks ago. Dude is running xfire 295x2's on a 4k monitor. Of course he has a $5k pc, a 2011 maxed out with full wc. His only problem was trying to get the 2 cards to play nice with each other. For some odd reason the xfire wouldnt work but either single card would. He said the 4k was amazing but was looking at 30ish fps on bf4.

The R9 295 x 2 would be a great 4k card(s) especially in quad crossfire! So by the way would 4 x HD7990 , especially as the bitcoin boys are now offloading them on ebay for some reason. But what I don't understand is why Nvidia charge so much for dual GPU cards . Why is the Titan Z over £2000, when 2x titans are about £1400? Most other markets if you buy two together its cheaper. Wonder if thats why they made over a billion $ last financial year???

If you can wait 3 or 4 months R9 295 x 2 should come down to £699 like the HD 7990 did . Lol

So... get the AMD R9 295x2 then. It'll be the best for your 4K needs haha.

Dual Hd 7990's wouldn't be very great, because of the frame dips, major heat, noise, etc. If the HD 7990 was still at <$500 it would be probably the best value 4K GPU :p  But now that the price has shot up to $1,000 it just isn't worth it. Probably the best value for your money now is Dual R9 290's. They would only cost $700 and they would be able to run BF4 at max settings 4K with 40 frames on average.

4k only needs fxaa or smaa... hardware aa is pointless unless you are taking frame still photos, or you are already getting far more than 60/120/144fps, or whatever fps matches the refresh rate your monitor is set to. by not using hardware antialiasing, vram usage is reduced dramatically. crysis 3 maxed out with fxaa at 4k is only using a tad over 2gb.... this 6/8gb stuff is overkill. their going to have to invent some new processes or whatever to use the vram in these cards if we all switch to 4k.

Dual HD 7990's mine running around 70c on benchmarks , no more noise than gtx 780 , total cost for dual set up £580 , about the same cost as one gtx titan but 3Dmark 11 of 23k instead of 14K, so best bang for buck at the moment. Dual R290s cost around £400 but 3Dmark 11 16K. Happy days.

I was talking about the old price. Now it's almost impossible to find a HD 7990 that hasn't been used for more than 9 months, or hasn't been used for heavy mining for less than $600 ... The HD 7990''s already cost $1,000. It just isn't worth it at $1,000.

Let me ask you guys one thing. What are the benefits of playing at 4K? Other than the fact that you don't need to put any AA?

I am hoping that the gtx 880 SLI will give me 20k 3DMark 11 and hoping it will be under £700 but will have to see. Got a gigabyte R9 290x and 290 crossfire setup giving me 18430 3Dmark 11, cost £425, so not bad but cant use my nvidia 3d with it , also wont do 4k on Samsung 6900.Lol
