amd 7970ghz 4k support?

[remilafo]

Hello Friends

 

I've sent a ticket to gigabyte already but i was wondering maybe i could get an answer faster here.

 

I have this GPU... gigabyte 7970ghz edition

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4290#ov

 

will it support 4k@60hz on the mini-displayport jack?

 

I ask because on the gigabyte product page it states max digital resolution is 2560x1600  YET on the amd product page for the 7900 series cards which includes the 7970ghz edition it says it supports 3840x2160 @ 60hz ..

 

so which one is it?

I don't see why not... probably wrong tho..

[Laputacake]

Yes

[SeanBond]

At that clock rate? Good God...

What is wrong with the clock rate?

[niofalpha]

Should...

 

Don't know what you plan on driving in 4K with that tho...

Yeah Mini DisplayPort can do 4k60hz, not sure on the revision though

For those of you wondering why i would game at 4k with a 7970ghz is because i have four of them in quad-fire.

Currently running 3x1080p for effective 3K  but there is a 4K Philips monitor coming soon that has me really wanting it bad. let me find the link....

yeah that puppy!  

 

the gigabyte 7970ghz is running displayport 1.2 ..

what are you guys talking about? it depends on what hes playing, and hes asking if it supports it, not if he can game on it.

 

bf4 with two 7970s Im sitting nice and happy at 120ish fps without my 30% overclock all on ultra on 1080P

 

so itd be a 120ish for him to pick up another card, then he can play most games at decent settings at 4k. older games would be a breeze

holy crap quadfire? how well does that work? 

 

I thought my 7950/7970 crossfire was a bit crazy. I want to do a triple crossfire, but I only play at 1080P so

Since the omega driver ... CCC 14.12

 

It really has been fantastic.. I would my scaling is really a true 400% in well optimized games.

 

Tomb raider at 3K maxed settings i am always above 90 FPS ..

 

Dragon age inquisition maxed is about 45-85FPS depend on zone... this game is NOT well optimized at this time but i imagine it will get better.

 

My heavily modded skyrim is anywhere in the 75-135fps @ 3k..

 

overall i start with 2-gpu's in crossfire and aquired two more later on for a fantastic price. My experience with quad-fire has been good, at least from the gaming and performance point of view.

 

Managing heat and noise levels was a bit tricky.
