Does it require a good graphics card to run basic stuffs in 4k resolution

[kaiteck]

Well Im going to get a 4k tv soon

Gpu - I have a single gtx 650 2gb running in my pc.

monitors - I'll be using a 4k tv, and 2 1080p monitors.

My usage - will be just watching movies, browse the web, playing simple games
(league of legends , Osu! etc)
I'm definitely not going to play games in 4k but only in 1080p.

I wonder if it will play well?

Should be fine if you want to play other games at 4k, try an Nvidia GTX 970.

no dont listen to that guy alex. I game in 4k. Its the most wonderful bestest thing to gaming ever. you dont even need to have any aliasing. Through trial and error I got it working. I tried running one gtx 970 and although there are some old games you can run in 4k. Any modern games released about 3rd quarter of 2014 up till now, (far cry 4 and dying light good examples), require a minimum of two 970's in sli to get about 25-30 FPS, and that is with all setting on MED to LOW and no aliasing!!!! To run at max settings you would need two 980's to run about 40-50 fps. Soooo depends if your playing old games or low impact games, or new graphic intensive games. Its expensive but gawd is it worth it.

I meant games like league in 4K. Didn't mean to say 'other' games.
Some older games would be playable with a 970 at 4k, easy.
