I recently picked up a U28D590D 28-inch 4K screen for only $700!! The screen is simply amazing. I turned it on, the windows apps are borderline too small to see, and web pages are impossible to read, and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend the screen to anyone with the sole intention of gaming. It runs a smooth 60Hz (tested with UFO tests), it has a 1ms refresh rate, and 370cd of brightness! There are more colors (shades of blue green and red) that I have honestly ever seen before anywhere (after looking at my Samsung 24in 1080p and this Samsung 28in 2160p side by side, it honestly saddens me the 4k is not today’s standard. The difference is drastic. Needless to say, games look simply fantastic. I currently have a gtx 770 set up on the 1080p screen. After hooking up the 4K to the 770 I simply cannot go back to 1080p. I’ve seen it and there no turning back, the screen simply looks too nice.
THE PROBLEM!
There are no cards (budget being <$1000 per card) on the market that will run ALL games at 4K and not dip below 60fps. The build I had in my cart at newegg before I ran into this dilemma had dual 780ti’s on a WC loop. Unfortunately I discovered the immense interal bottlenecking that’s the Ti’s have at 4K resolutions. Having only 3gb of vram will actually cause the cards to crash in some games at 4k!! I looked into AMD because their card have more vram and they just don’t run as fast as the Nvidia’s. Because I am not willing to wait until 2015, my only option at this point is change the game settings down to only 1600p on the screen. What a complete waste of awesomeness.
Does anyone know a graphics card (not the r9295x or the titan z) to be released in 2014 with at least as much horsepower as a 780ti and 4gb of vram??
I've heard rumors about a 6gb 780ti which I would be more than thrilled to pay a grand for.
I realize this field of knowledge (gpus @ 4K) is fairly specialized but any info is greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU
