Hello folks! I need your help right now.

MY BUILD in 2 words:
core i7 3770k 4.5ghz+corsair h100i
16gb g.skill tridentX 2133mhz
samsung 850 pro 120gb for OS
sandisk extreme pro 240gb for games
wd red 1tb for downloads and stuffs
corsai ax series 860i Watt platinum eff.
corsair graphite 760T case
corsair vengease k95 keyboard
roccat kone xtd gaming mice+roccat ravio mousepad

and finnaly 2x asus r9 280x dc2 top in cfx mode running at 1150/1640
temps are absolutely fine in any sector.

Long story short i am a gamer and i do play any kind on game withought restrictions. i play bf4,titanfall,skyrim,dark souls ii,grid auto sport,leage of legends,murderer soul suspect and fifa 15.

I currently play games on lg ips monitor at 1080p on 60hz and i was completely satisfied even on fps games where ppl reccomend 120hz or 144hz monitors.

in the most of the games i run fraps and i see from 80minimum to 260maximum fps(except leage of legends where i have 1000+ in base,500-700 in 5v5 battle). so i felt like i have more juice to consume from my build and i decided to upgrade my monitor.

I found a 2560x1440 monitor ips panel at 60hz at the tech store and it was absolutely amazing,with crystal clear and bright colors etc despite it was 60hz only it wouldnt be bad since i was gaming 2 years on my 1080p 60hz monitor.

What happened next is while diging the web for an even lower price i found a 4k monitor(not a TV) at the same price futures an lcd panel not an ips but every review i saw was possitive on buying this display as an upgrade of 1080p.


my fear right now is if my pc is able to handle the games at 4k resolution 60fps even on high if not ultra. I dont mind lowering the AA/FXA or turning off the power hungry tesselation. I tried to find beachmark about my setup didnt found much...

the monitor is Asus PB287Q.


Help me plz...

I currently have a single card(same as yours) and actually running at the same speed lol. I'm borrowing a Samsung 4k monitor of off a friend just for S&G. I will report back the results. I figure if I can't touch high 20's then we aren't gonna be able to hit 60s with two.

Tomb Raider
Crysis 3
Bioshock Infinite
Dirt 3
Theif
COD4(dunno if it supports 4k)
Warframe

Probably a few more, might even buy something else to try.
