And what sort of FPS would a single radeon R9 290 get on 4K medium crysis 3?

ChrisLouie · May 25, 2014

ASUS 4k monitor 28" $799 cheapest price I know of.

FunkyFeatures · May 25, 2014

I dont know the price in dollars, but roughly 500 pounds, samsung u28d590d is 4k and has tn and 8 bit color

I've been considering the Samsung one too, the Dell 4K monitor is only $500 but it has so many bad reviews.

FunkyFeatures · May 25, 2014

i believe the dell one is only 30hz(you can only see 30fps on it) can you link it?

CAaronD · May 25, 2014

It is only 30HZ

how about this one? http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-28-Inch-Definition-Monitor-U28D590D/dp/B00IEZGWI2/

Is there a big difference between 4K and 1440P? If not Is 8MS sufficient for gaming? I've been looking at the QNIX 1440P monitor, only $360

FunkyFeatures · May 25, 2014

i have heard 5ms max for gaming, but i do not have any experience so take it with a grain of salt.
Yes there is a big difference between 1440p and 4k
4k - 8294400 pixels and
1440p - 3686400 pixels. 4k is more than twice as many pixels as 1440p.

To your earlier post - That was the samsung monitor i was talking about - tn though pretty good picture, and a nice look. But you cant twist it as much because of the stand. If i had a rig that could run 4k right now, i would buy that screen.

CAaronD :

My guess - 60fps or so. 4k is very intensive, and even though it is high end, crysis is very demanding. BF4 Ultra at 4k/1080p 200% res scaling is about 35 fps.

andrei65 :

The excact model we have all been talking about in this thread

Well, repeating helps

i really love that monitor.

andrei65 · May 25, 2014

Oh lol didn't know ^^
Well i guess this is the cheapest monitor he can get

FunkyFeatures · May 25, 2014

Not the cheapest, but i believe the cheapest 60hz 4k. Dell makes them 30hz, but samsung is a great pick.

andrei65 · May 25, 2014

i meant to say 60hz but i forgot lol

FunkyFeatures · May 25, 2014

Well, 60 hz 4k, i believe the samsung is the cheapest, sadly it is not released in europe yet :/
I do believe AOC is releasing a 4k monitor, very close in price, so might wait for that if price is everything.

andrei65 · May 25, 2014

it will be released june 1 , it'll be released in about 1 week from now

FunkyFeatures · May 25, 2014

sounds cool - might pick it up, but i havent got the rig to power such a beast

andrei65 · May 25, 2014

a 290 is enough to play on low , ultra hd though i suggest you watercool it and overclock it

Doug Lord · Jun 22, 2014

Don't understand why people want to try and do 4k on the cheap. Spend the $$ on a lower rez monitor with really great color reproduction. Even the best setups barely push 1440p on ultra with mods and 60fps minimum. For 4k you need 4+ gb of vram per card. And 2x6gb 780s isn't going to handle 4k ultra 60fps. Even if it could no HDMI 2.0 or h.265. 4k is 1-2 years off.

TheMagicalWallaby · Jun 23, 2014

Do not get 4k. It is not worth it for a monitor. Just get 2560x1440 or 2580x1600p. And do not get the Dell 4k monitor, it is horrible. Plus, any 30Hz monitor is going to be horrible. But, I don't even think that you could get 30fps. R9 295x cards only get about 45fps on 4k. Heck, in Metro last light you cant even get 30fps on that dual card.

FunkyFeatures · Jun 23, 2014

I think 4k is great for prosumers, not consumers. Could be used for movie or rendering which is epic. I think 4k gaming is far from the standard, but for everything else, the only downside is money.

CAaronD · Jun 23, 2014

Oh well I just chose an answer. I don't even have the money for one lol

I can barely afford a QNIX 1440p monitor
