Is gtx980 Enough to power 4K monitor?

[Nick@9494]

Is it enough to power a 4K monitor for work(Not Gaming Probably play games at 2560X1440). I will be using Adobe Photoshop, Premiere,After effects etc etc so is it enough to power a 4K monitor or should i buy WQHD?

 

I was looking to buy this Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q

1@30hz...Yes. !@60hz, with max display settings.....How much do you want to overclock?....but yes.

Intel HD can power 4K...

 

Running games on it? Don't be expecting overly high settings.

(cough)980...(cough)

For work yes but for gaming don't expect max settings 60FPS. But you can downscale to 1080p.

I am not planning to play games in 4K not until i save enough money to add another 980 in my rig. But will it be enough for computing/work??

Wtf are you talking about?

 

I said even Intel HD can run it so why would a 980 not be able to?

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than enough

[coen113]

Yes, but games wont run too good, so i suggest you downscale those

[MeDownYou]

yeah, but unless you have 980's in sli 4k gaming sucks still for demanding titles. 

 

390x/titanX anyone?

For productivity a 960 would do

[slightlyjaded]

I think I rest my case... Yes you can run games at 4k on a single 980. It'll look good. especially when DX12 come out. You will run 30 frames per second at 4k with most modern AAA titles. When they actually bug fix you'll be able to run every current AAA title at 60 FPS. (except metro, that just wrecks graphics cards unless you're running a 5960x as well(*grin))

(cough) productivity? You're kidding right? A modern video editor is going to need that 4 GB of Vram...

I am running a 5960X processor, Just ordered all the parts for my new System.

 

Intel 5960x

 

Asus x99 Deluxe

 

Corsair Dominator platinum DDR4 32GB 2666Mhz

 

Asus GTX980(Probably add one more after couple of months)

Okay I'm a little elitist here... A asus deluxe isn't really designed for a 5960x..... (I can hear the audience gasping here) It's designed for a 5930k. That's what I feel is the sweet spot for that motherboard. It really does not need the extra bits that are designed for a single CPU workstation board.

Hmmm well that's the reason why i came here for suggestion, So which X99 should i buy? I will cancel it right now.

But Asus website does say it is built for 5960x. I am no expert in this so would be great if you could help.

[slightlyjaded]

I'm probably a bad judge here. I'd cancel the mobo, and buy the x99e-ws.... You're using it for graphic's productivity by the looks of things. You'll buy a second 980 eventually. and you'll probably use a xp941/sm.... samsung m.2 drive as a scratch disk.

 

I can recommend those components from personal experience, even as a gamer. for productivity they get even better. A 5960x with a 980 will render 4k video in real time...

The Deluxe will be fine. You have a solid build there bro. Don't cancel anything.

 

5960X, 2x GTX 980 (eventually). Good stuff for 4K and your needs.

Thanks for help. I'll replace Deluxe with ASUS X99E-WS

Yeah it's built for it like a matx board is built for a 4970k..... It'll work quite happily, but that's a lot of wasted space.

Sorry It's a personal thing. a deluxe will run 2 gaming graphics cards. it'll even run 3....just. The WS board will run 4, and it'll happily run industry components, and still smile.

I am not really looking to run more than 2 GPU and maximum memory i will use is 64GB.

well a WS board will run ecc ram. although 8GB dimms are being released now.

so much bad advice.. your 980 is more than enough for work use. Intel HD 5000 powers 4k for daily use.

and you don't need a second 980 to play games.. youll easily be able to play games at 4k at a mixture of high and ultra settings.. I can play games at 4k with a 2gb 770 at a mix of medium to high settings. I can play bf4 at 4k on mostly high settings and still hit 60fps.

everyone on this forum who doesn't have a 4k monitor is under the impression you need sli gpus just to consider running games at 4k..

yes the latest games are more demanding and some cannot be maxed out on a single gpu or multi gpu setup.

but there's thousands of games that can be maxed out and older still relevant games.. I get 200fps+ on cs go at 4k..

4k medium settings still looks a hundred times better than 1080p ultra with all the AA bells and whistles..
