What resolution can I push?

Hello all!

So in the near-ish future, I'm looking into buying a new monitor.

I was curious though, with the specs I'll have, what can I run?

The specs will be a 4670k (overclocked), EVGA 780 Classifieds (x2, overclocked). All of this will be on water, so a pretty decent overclock.

 

What Resolution would I get a comfortable (60fps would be my satisfied point) FPS at?

4k? 3k? 2.5k? 1600p? 1440p? 1080?

 

Okay, so that was for single monitor... What about triple?

(Please answer both questions if you can! Single monitor, and multiple)

1600p, 3k and 1440p.

 

To do 4k you might have to go down to high-medium. 

 

dual 1440p for gaming, 3 or 4x 1080p for productivity.

Probably triple monitor would be your highest. 4k would probably be at like 45-50fps

So with TWO 780 Classifieds overclocked, I can't run ONE 4k monitor at max settings?

Not max settings, you could probably do high. It all depends on the game.

SMH, I guess 4k hasn't really arrive yet then :l

I'll probably go for three 1440p monitors.

For the price of two 780's... get a Titan Black or a 780ti Superclocked, I'm confident you can run 4k with those...

Already have one of the 780s bud :)

then regarding your question... stable guaranteed 60 fps at 1080p, unstable 60 fps at 1440p and 30 fps or above at 1600p. lower settings and low frames at 2.5k and 4k

I don't think you're well versed in this...

Not trying to offend, just trying to inform.

I get stable 50+ FPS with 3 1080p monitors, unless you're talking about running Three monitors with those resolutions.

If you are in the market for a 1440p monitor and don't mind a bit of a DIY project, Korean panels aren't a bad option. You can get two 1440p monitors directly from Korea cheaper than you can get one Asus 1440p monitor. The extra $700 could leave you with some nice budget room for some more peripherals and Vesa mounts for the monitors.

 

Another thing to note is that both the Korean monitors and the asus PB2xx monitors use PLS panels as opposed to IPS anyways, so the savings in money could really become a factor.

Would grabbing them from Newegg be a good idea, or is there somewhere better?

 

This one from Newegg is 350 bucks (27 inch)

Has 40 ratings, five star.

you can grab them off of newegg its a little bit more expensive then ebay, if it was me I'd just save $50 or so each and order off ebay, theres some pretty damn reputible sellers for these monitors. and obscenely fast shipping from what I hear.

4K is the equivalent to 4x 1080p in terms of raw pixels. Not even Multi-SLI'd Titan Blacks can run 4K and high/ultra detail at 60 FPS yet.

So you guys are telling me,

I can run Three 1080p monitors,

But a 4k monitor (4x1080p) is just way to much?

What?

It's weird and confusing, I know. You could run 4K just not a high/ultra settings. 3x 1080P should be able to run high/ultra with maybe exceptions on games like Crysis or the Metro series.

Seems silly...

I mean... People here are even saying 3x 1440p would be fine... Which would be 4320, 4k is like 3800-3900... WAT?

 

Does anyone know the true science behind this?

When I need to do a rough estimate I would look at (for example) 1440p performance for 2 OC'ed 780's. Then I would take 1/3 of that, and thats' what I could assume I would get.

 

Your limiting factor here is not the GPU speed, more so the ram. 1440p x 3 or 4k is going to eat your VRAM for breakfast, while 3gb is the sweet spot for 1080p x 3.

tek syndicate did a vid of sli gtx780 with 3 1440p monitors, benchmarks etc... 4k should run a bit better then these numbers as its 8 megapixels as opposed to 11, I'd watch the vid for a reference.

4k =4x 1080p

4k is easier than 3x 1440p

1440p is 1.5x 1080p

Multiply x by y to find pixel count, multiply by number of monitors. Use ratios for comparative difficulty

So would 4k work fine, or will 1440p x3 not work?

3x 1440p would be really fking hard to run

go with 4k

another thing to keep in mind is refresh rates, 3 1440p monitors can run a much higher hz if overclocked because it need less bandwidth per moitor. I believe there are only a couple 4k monitors on the market currently that will run 4k at 60hz and those are super expensive and some type of dual displayport interface.
