Low Profile 4K capable GPU?

[WastedEmu]

Hello, my work is planning on picking up 2 -- 4K monitors for the work stations, and is there a Low Profile GPU available that does 4K?

 

the current setup is an AMD HD 8490, which I'm reading does up to 1440p, and an i7-4790 (which I know the iGPU supports 4K). The upgrade is coming as a result of a very graphic based mapping system (a CAD like program), where we will need quite a bit of screen real estate. the current card already struggles powering a 2560x1600 monitor with that CAD program. I was given the responsibility by my manager to come up with a suggested setup to send to IT to do all of the purchasing since he trusts me more than IT lol.

 

from my travels on the google machine, I haven't really been able to find one aside from a 750 TI, but it only does 4K at 24HZ

i think a r9 285 itx variant exists

budget?

 

ITX GTX 970  can do 4k @ 60hz over HDMI 2.0 or Displayport

 Yes, sadly only up to GTX 750 Ti. We'd wait till someone makes a LP GTX 960 or to see what will Pascal bring

That isn't low profile

[imperialplanet]

have you looked at Quadros or firepros?

A GTX 970 is horrible if he is going to be doing 3D modeling

seeing as how the 4K monitors are $2000 (CAD) each and we're getting 8 of them, I dont think there will be a limit for the GPU's lol

 

and it has to be low profile, (http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/AMD-Radeon-HD-8490-graphics-card-Radeon-HD-8490-1-GB/3118868.aspx) like that with the shorter bracket since they got those dell slim PC's (optiplex 9020 small form factor I believe)

No 3D modelling, its all just 2D lines and symbols, except its a map of the entire city

The Quadro NVS510 is the first thing that comes to mind for CAD work, it had 4 mini DP ports so could in theory do 4x 4k monitors.

FirePro W4100

It's only a one slot card, super cheap, supports up to 3x 4K displays at 60Hz or up to 4x 4K displays at 30Hz.

Even the FirePro W2100 supports two displays at 4K. But only at 30Hz afaik.

That workload yells Quadro!

Or FirePro too

oh ok, then yes I would look into some quadro and firepro cards

Try to tell them Fury X is the only way

but I believe any R9 200 series GPU with at least 2 DP should do it fine

it's only 2 Monitors per PC, so there's 4 stations getting the 2x4K treatment lol... I'll suggest new PC's with a 5960X, 128GB of RAM and quad Titan X's ... let's see how that goes

 you can always try

 

but on the topic, look for a quadro or firepro in whatever price range you have for the cards, the majority are low profile and would support the resolution you are wanting.

We got a new lab in university with dual monitor setups with 5960X, 64GB RAM and some quadro of firepro GPU.

They will be set up in september

okay awesome, I just want something faster than the HD 8490's that are in it. A Lot of times its just painfully slow, and when the program is rolled out, when we need to use the program, we can't afford it to take a long time (30+ seconds) to render when we pan over 1 inch lol

 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Fury X since it beats the 980ti in 4k and can be OC'd on water cooling.

 

Or Firepro / Quadro
