Any GPU's currently handle this reliably? Still rocking an R9 290x and I just can't take it anymore. I enjoy the 60hz/60fps highly slick appeal to videos on Youtube when I swap down to 1900x res.

Haven't kept up with current GPU's, anything sub $300 these days that can handle 4K resolution at 60hz reliably?

The Projector is only 60hz, but if it support HDMI 2.0, you may only need something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812443021&cm_re=displayport_to_hdmi_2.0-_-12-443-021-_-Product

The 120hz is "true motion flow", which is just some form of interpolation. It's not true 120hz.

Not for gaming, for online video as the title mentioned. Just for youtube and other playable video files at 60fps.

Maxed refresh for the 290x is 30hz and 60hz isn't available until you drop into 1900x resolution. I would like something that can play 60fps videos at 60hz on youtube in 4k resolution.

Wow, this really changed in the last 2 years. Didn't expect it to be that cheap.

if you want it JUST for youtube then as stated something newer but the 290x as far as gaming goes is still a beastly card. I would have thought with display port or something 4k 60hz for video playback would be achievable with your current 290x.

I have a sony 4k 350es Projector that supports up to 120hz. This projector doesn't have display port so far as I am aware and it does have HDMI 2.0

Yea, I'm not a serious gamer but I would love to replay Witcher 3 in full 4K at 60fps, but after investigations today it seems that still can't be done proper without SLI/Crossfire setups for the best card out there I Guess... I don't really game outside of rare popular single player title that I end up really loving. I was running Witcher 3 at 2500x most of the time with roughly 30fps over the past year and never had issues for gaming with this card. Sometimes, dropping down to 1900x and enabling 60hz and vsync really gets addictive in terms of how slick things look, but the graphics quality of course takes a big hit. Maybe the next generation gpu's will finally let me play Witcher at 60fps in 4K without costing more than my car.

well dropping from 4k to 1080p you would notice a difference but 1440p to 1080p you wont really. Its hard to tell the difference. Especially if you turn on things like AA and filtering etc. Only way you are getting 4k at 60hz/fps is with a titanXP and even then it has its dips.

I run at 135 inches with this projector, 1080 looks not so good even on the Witcher 3. But, at that res I love the high frame rate appeal, I love that glidey look and feel. Either way, I bought that adapter that was linked so hopefully it works nice when it arrives.

Assuming the adapter works as advertised you are set.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
HDMI 2.0, referred to by some manufacturers as HDMI UHD, was released on September 4, 2013.[109]

HDMI 2.0 increases the maximum TMDS per channel throughput from 3.4 Gbit/s to 6 Gbit/s which allows for a maximum total TMDS throughput of 18 Gbit/s.[109] This enables HDMI 2.0 to carry 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (fps).[109][110][111] Other features of HDMI 2.0 include the options of the Rec. 2020 color space, Dual View, 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, 25 fps 3D formats, up to 4 audio streams, 21:9 aspect ratio, the HE-AAC and DRA audio standards, dynamic auto lip-sync, improved 3D capability, and additional CEC functions.[109]

No, not really. If your net speed is very slow then it will buffer a lot. But not in my case, which revolves around refresh rate and vsync.

Yep, no problems so far. Witcher 3 running with vsync at 2560 res, beautifully and slick on High without hairworks enabled. Videos on the pc running smoothly now at 60hz in 4k resolution. I couldn't be happier. What a fantastic little thing, lets hope it doesn't crap out and fail for whatever reason any time soon haha.
