Hello, I plan on buying a 4k monitor soon for light gaming and media. I've got 2x GTX 670s in SLI, and a 8150 @ 4.7ghz, so as I do know I'm 100% fine for 1080p, I know how gaming will hit me in 2160p so that isn't a problem.

The question is, I heard some people using two HDMI cables with one 4k monitor and getting 60hz basically by displaying the left half, and the right half separately (1920x 2160@60hz). Are my 670s capable for this? There's a full HDMI, and a mini-HDMI on both of them, so I've got the ports. I just wanted to know how to go about this, and if it really is a legitimate solution.

Thanks, Chase.

To support 4K in a single cable you need to be HDMI 1.4 compatible. I don't see a quick listing for which HDMI version your 670s support.

What is the model of the monitor you're looking at? Most 60Hz 4k monitors use a dual-tile design, which is similar to what you described, it combines two video signals into one and displays it @ 60Hz.

HDMI 1.4 won't support 4k at 60hz, which is what the OP wants, but 670's do support HDMI 1.4a at least.

And yes, 670's support tiled 4k monitors, which I believe is referred to has MST.

Industry Support for 4K
There are 2 ways of delivering 4K content, HDMI and DisplayPort.

A) HDMI

The current HDMI 1.4 standard only has bandwidth for 4K at 30hz. HDMI 2.0 will add support for 4K at 60Hz. Details should become clearer in late 2013. There are a few TVs on sale today that support 4K @ 30Hz through HDMI.

B) DisplayPort 1.2

DisplayPort can support 4K @ 60Hz using Multi-Stream Transport(MST). The graphics card provides signals for multiple displays but these are multiplexed on a single cable. Computer monitors such as the ASUS PQ321Q 31.5-in 4K 60 Hz Tiled Monitor take input using this format.

NVIDIA GPU support for 4K Resolutions
All GeForce GTX 600 and 700 series GPUs can support 4K resolutions through DisplayPort. The NVIDIA driver automatically detects 4K 60Hz tiled format, so no special user set up is required. In order to power games at this resolution with settings turned up NVIDIA recommends GTX 780 SLI or better.
