Hey everyone, next year I will be building my first PC, and build my gaming setup, I plan on getting a 4K Monitor or two, but I was wondering if two 1070's can run games such as Scrap Mechanic and COD Black Ops III in 4K at 60 FPS or higher, and if so, what monitors would you recommend that are 27+ Inches, has a 144hz refresh rate, and a 1440P or 4K Display thats under $500?
 
Solution
I don't think any 4k monitor goes above 60Hz yet. Sli 1070's should achieve a minimum of 60fps in games that support sli well, however not all games support sli and some that do don't support it well. There is a lot of rumour about a 1080Ti which if it follows previous x80Ti's should be just under Pascal TitanX performance. You may very well be better off with such a card then you won't need to worry about games supporting sli. Sli support seems to be dying.
Affordable 4K monitors are hard to come by. I think viewsonic has a 34" one though.
I wouldn't expect solid 60FPS with a 1070 SLI, but I know it will be around what a Titan can give which is about 50 FPS on average based on youtube videos featuring the subject.

You are asking too much... almost sure not a single one.

Maybe in 1440p you could get something like the PG278Q for 50% more...

K Thanks! I think I'll get a single 1080, but can you recommend any nice 1080P OR 1440P Monitors that have 144hz refresh rate?

If you're going to go 1080p, get a single GTX 1070 ; 1080 is overkill, and the extra future proofing it would bring isn't particularly worth it IMO.
