4k GPU

I'd wait for the 900 series. Also, do not listen to I/O. It is a ATI fanboy who will always suggest ATI. What ever you do, do not use any ATI components in your computer.

Please tell me your joking. He just suggested a R9 295x2. So saying he is a nvidia fanboy is very stupid.....

Alright so I have a 4k surround monitor setup and it's all being powered by 2 MSI GTX 780 lightning in SLI. Most games run smoothy on high settings that don't require much (Gmod on highest settings runs smoothly for examply) but games like dead rising 3 starts to choke if I put it on max. I want to know what gpu I should upgrade to in the near future to run 4k surround smoothly?

 

I was thinking somthing likw two titan blacks in sli or a titan z(even though it's not designed for gaming)

 

 

 

Thank you.

4k surround on high settings? that's pure BS even a single 4k monitor cant be driven by two 780's...smootly on high...let alone 3 of these...you are BS

I would go quadfire with 2x 295x2 only because it has 4 mini display port outputs to run the surround setup at 60hz per panel. I have a single 4k monitor and I run it with 2x evga gtx 780ti classified and I barely get 60fps on one panel, let along 3. This setup only supports one display port output for one 4k panel at 60hz unless you disable sli for a second output. Display port hubs won't work either because they don't supply enough bandwidth.

We should make a community wide decision to not listen to @l/O on anything GPU wise. Blatant fanboyism.

I have a watercooled 780Ti. Sue me.

Claims blatant AMD fanboyism .... Owns expensive water cooled nvidia card ... troll factor = maximum !

That and the fact that ATi hasn't existed in years goes to shoe this troll is living in the past long long ago in a time when nvidia actually did have better drivers LOL.

How does owning an expensive nvidia card display fanboyism? It is just what I bought. Best performance I could possibly get in my budget.

[maizenblue]

For these people claiming the 780 TI in SLI beats the 295x2, what are they basing this on? Most of the benchmarks Ive seen show the 295x2 beating the 780tis by a small margin.

 

The digital storm benchmark someone put up is irrelevant because its two 290xs with what are probably reference coolers, which in crossfire would probably be subject to continuous thermal throttling, rather than a liquid cooled 295x2, and I believe Digital Storm uses Nvidia cards in most of their higher end systems so they have reason to cherry pick benchmarks for an ad meant to sell one of these systems.

ATI still makes things like 290Xs. nVidia makes 780 Tis. A 780 Ti performs better than a 290X. Period.

Exactly my thought. Nvidia has never been the brand of price/performance, there's always AMD for that.

Honestly 4k isn't driveable 

Maybe a new GPU Series will save the day but 4 Titan Blacks doesn't really seem practical. 

R9 295x2's are good but they get so hot they throttle. So titanblacks seem like a much better deal.

[batt3ryac1d]

Dead rising 3 is terribly optimized. Have you OC'd your cards a bit?

[ATI-Sucks]

All 4K monitors are 60Hz LCDs. 4K is worthless right now, and will be until 4K @ 80Hz+ CRTs are released, if that ever happens. Don't go 4K; get a FW900.

To all of you drooling over unrealistic setups that you'll never own, meet reality. Half of the people that talk about the high end aren't even in the high end tech wise, they just fantasize about it and fanboy about what is stronger and better as if they actually had it. Whenever a new card is about to launch everyone always jumps on the bandwagon and goes on about how they'll replace it with what they have now and go buy some super setup. The amount of times I've heard people say that they'll "buy X card and Y setup" and the amount of times I've actually seen people do it differs drastically. So stop being a fanboy for the upcoming nVidia 900 series just because you own some mid-range card. I'm not hating on people with mid-range cards, I'm just saying that this is where I hear the most of these fantasies from. Anyone who has been in the tech space long enough knows that hardware changes at the blink of an eye, you will never buy something and be happy with it because the next quarter is always around the corner and something surpasses it. If you're the kind of person that just buys the newest thing every year you're probably not very smart with your money. If you have some super needs then you're just shopping wrong.

 

How many times do people have to repeat themselves that this isn't the year of 4K. Can't wait to see all the disappointment when the 900 series is revealed next week and people are shocked that it isn't the next best thing. If it isn't already obvious enough to some people, I'll say it again. The 900 series is to the 700 series like the 600 series was to the 500 series. In other words, it's another year of energy efficiency and thermal improvements. 4K screens still aren't as affordable for the average consumer as they should be, there are scaling issues (if you've used a 4K screen already you'll know this), and the GPU horsepower to keep a game fluid on high details is unreal. I have 780Ti's in SLI (that I normally run at 5760x1080 no problem), and they struggled with 4K on the memory side when I tested it. If you want 4K go for AMD cards, they have always been better with high resolutions and multiple monitor setups.

This. How no one else caught this right away just highlights what I wrote above, blatant fanboyism. A single 4K display cannot be powered by two 780Ti's. I have two 780Ti's and I've tried gaming on 4K, it's not possible. If you want to play with high resolutions go AMD, their cards have always been optimized better for high resolutions and they tend to have more physical memory than their nVidia counterparts. The OP either has no idea what he's talking about or he's just talking bull.

 

This is 4K surround and what it takes to drive it:

 

[I/O]

ATI still makes things like 290Xs. nVidia makes 780 Tis. A 780 Ti performs better than a 290X. Period.

ATi no longer exists and that has been the case for years. In fact ATi went tits up in 2006 when it was bought out by AMD but the name was still used into 2009 I believe .

[darkblitzrc]

r9 295x outperforms the titan z but most nvidia fan boys will tell you to wait for 900 series

 

[6010fd12]

Actually I was fucking around to get I/O to like my comment just to prove he easily takes the fanboy bait. 780Ti's shit all over the others. I'm talking about my classifieds, don't give a damn about others.

I'm not a fanboy of any of the GPU providers. I however prefer nvidia because I am very used to them, I do not have anything against AMD. I said that I will have to look into the 295x because it has 4 mini displayport which is what I need as any Nvidia graphics cards only have one display port on each card and since I can only put two cards into my system therefor I will only be able to use displayport 1.2 on only 2 monitor and that will then force me to use hdmi for the other monitor and since so far hdmi can't use 60Hz on 4k I will be limited to 30Hz.

If you're considering paying for a Titan Z, just wait for the Nvidia 900 series to come out and run a few GTX 980s in SLI. That or you could suck it up and buy a pair of 295x2s and run them in Quad Crossfire for probably the best gaming experience... ever... in all time...

As I said in my OP my mobo can only hold two GPU's.
