Single card 4k support

[Rockyt]

Hello guys

                So im thinking of building a new pc FINALLY cause ill get some monies! So, i7 4790K, maximus 7 hero, 16GB corsair whatever suits me and everything else AND a SINGLE Nvidia GTX 970 or 980 card! NOW the main question i have to ask is will it support a 4K monitor?? I wish to also TRY to buy if i can, the 

ROG SWIFT PG278Q

but even if i spend so much as $1100 on it will the single GTX 980/70 card work??? or will i have to buy 2 of those and and tell my engineers to build a bridge in my pc???
All help greatly appreciated c:

Most modern GPUs support 4k output. Although if you want to play games on it going SLI is kind of a requirement

[Archangel1994]

For stable 60fps on 4k on high settings you'll want SLI 970 or 980

7990

Wait for a bit and see if there will be a 970 MARS or 990.

for 4k on a single card, nvidia actually disappoints. if you are willing to go crazy, titan z. no other nvidia single card will do it. on the amd side, 7990 or r9 295 x2 for much cheaper.

R9 295x2

 

or SLI GTX 980's

With my 8350 and 7990 OC'd I can literally feel a huge difference between one room and the other. It's insane.

How long till you guys think we will get single gpu for a single 4k monitor at 50-60 hz??

At least two generation, I think, with the Nvidia Geforce 9xx series being the first one as I'm expecting quite an insane performer from them to replace the 780Ti.

A single 980 supports 4k.

 

Wether it's playable, depends on the game and what kind of FPS you are expecting.

 

 

4K Resolution does NOT require a minimum of 60 FPS..

Just boggles the mind why people even post that.

 

FPS / Resolution = NOT SAME  :rolleyes:

All modern GPU supports 4K

 

BUT, 4K playback and 4K gaming is entirely black and white. For playback you will only need maybe a 750 Ti, for gaming you will need to SLI 2 980s minimum

wow okay i understood, 2x970s it is, i actually have like a month before i get money to buy the rig so i will see how things go, but yea if im spending $2500 i might as well spend 3 and get a BETTER machine for 4K, BUT i also hear that most 4k monitors F the gaming experience??? is it true??? im not an expert, like almost all are not ideal yet, so if its too much asking again, do you guys think i should totally wait for 4k for a year or 2 or maybe just be ready and get the Asus ROG monitor?
