I mite want to wait and see how this 8gb R9-290x does at 4k gaming and price.

 

But I think the only people having good 4k gaming experience are using multiple GTX Titans.

out of curiosity... has anyone got a link to benchmarks with quad SLI titan blacks running 4k?

It's like triple 1080p but worse: http://us.hardware.info/reviews/5231/5/nvidia-geforce-gtx-titan-black-4-way-sli-review-benchmarks---crysis-3-far-cry-3-metro-ll

I was wondering what the most cost effective option for 4k gaming is, as far as graphics cards. Would a single 780ti cut it? Would even a 780 hold up? Would I need to go SLI?

 

I have a preference toward NVIDIA.

You don't need to run on ultra. A single 780 would be great, but personally I would go 2x 780 in sli instead of 1x 780ti or 1x 780

And remember that reviewers ALL generally use the 4-8xAA options in game when doing 4K reviews, most people @ 4K would drop AA to 2x and have a little more performance added on top again.

^ Using a Single GPU without AA at all you may get acceptable 4K performance on a single gpu.

I can push BF4 Image scaling to 2.0 giving me a 4K render instead of the 1080p quality,.. and 4K without AA I still push 55fps. Some games would be better, some worse.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

A Titan Black for the VRAM in SLI. I would just wait for 8xx cards and see what they have for 4K.

EVGA ACX Titan Black SLI to be specific :P

You know that 4K NEVER consumed more than 4GB even with 4xAA? 780Ti/290(X) are the best choices now, otherwise waiting for the 880 would be best.
