Will this play 4k?

[Andy Weber]

Hey guys, I´m new at building pc´s, according to my budget this is what I´ve built. I´m hoping I can play fps with 4k resolution. So this is what I have:

 

CPU: Intel i5 4670k

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97-UD3H-BK

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB (2 of these)

GPU: EVGA GTX 970 ssc ACX 2.0 (In 2-way SLI)

PSU: 750W CORSAIR CX750

HDD: 2TB Toshiba

Mid-Tower: NZXT Phantom 401

[TheSLSAMG]

Most games will play fine, though of course at reduced settings.

[NeatSquidYT]

Yes, but not extremely well unless at decreased settings

[SkywardKkalox]

Will work.

EDIT: Would suggest 2 290s or 290xs for 4k gaming at least.

[Ostwind]

depends on the game, your settings would have to be low to get a playable framerate.

[Andy Weber]

So what should I upgrade?

[blu4]

oh yea, most of the games at medium to high at 60FPS.

 

Forget the Witcher 3. NOT. FUCKING. POSSIBLE.

[SkywardKkalox]

2-way 290s or 290xs

That game isn't demanding at all..... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I would swap out the 2 970's for 2 way crossfire 290X's or a 295X2. It will be cheaper than running sli 970's and with the money you have saved you can get a 1000 watt psu.

[raendeu]

970 in SLI is an insta bust, as VRAM doesn't scale and GTA V uses with 295x2 at least 6Gb VRAM, when you're limited with 3.5

[othertomperson]

Yeah most games will play at Very High to Ultra and hit 50-60 fps without AA enabled.

 

Ignore most of the people in this thread -- they don't actually have these cards at this resolution. I do.

What? That card doesn't even have 6GB vram.

[Fluffinator]

Two 980's!

Better wait for 980ti with 6gb ddr5. The Vram is going to be your first bottleneck. 3.5 on 970 and only 0.5 more on 980 

[79 Potatoes]

Yeah yeah yeah people, he said FPS but didn't specify:

So for example he can run TF2 at max 4K

[Ohio]

Someone asked this question in an article I read a while back, they compared the following; Titan X, 259x2, 980 SLI, solo 980, 290x Crossfire, solo 290. In synthetic benchmarks, Metro LL, Battlefield 4, and Tomb Raider the 295x2 sat above the Titan X and under the SLI 980s. 

 

Just from numbers and reviews, I'd go with the 295x2. 

 

Although, we don't know specifically what FPS games you want to play, a good chunk of them will run at 4k with that rig. Maybe clarify exactly what you want to play and we can be a little more specific. 

[Sam Z Man]

Go for dual 290X's and if you can get the 8gb models.

[Andy Weber]

I´m mostly interested on Battlefield

[Andy Weber]

Sure about that? How many fps can they reach in BF4

[nicholician]

Just so long as you're not trying to play Crysis  3 at max settings, you should probably be fine, just dial down the settings on demanding games for the optimal 60 FPS experience that we all expect regardless of resolution

[othertomperson]

38 with 4xMSAA enabled. So that'll translate to 50-60 fps without AA easily. MSAA has a ridiculous performance hit.

[Starelementpoke]

Correct me if im wrong but wont he need more than 8 gigs of ram if he's going to play 4k? Also, gpu wise should probably go with R9 295x2 or 2 R9 290's in crossfire 8 gig models.

Sure, but I´ve heard that with 4k, you won´t need it

[Sam Z Man]

I would suggest trying for 1440p the gaming experience would be better based on the budget you seem to have.

Exactly you don't. People use it in benchmarks because shows up differences between very similar cards better, but it's just silly to use this when you're actually gaming at this res.

No. Only game I've ever played that's wanted more than 4GB is Shadow of Mordor. Also the 295x2 "only" has 4GB as well.
