Medium settings tend to be the best value as far as visuals go. If you can crack 60 frames at medium settings and 4K, you will likely be a happy gamer. The 1070 should be capable of this.

Just got a 43" Visio 4K smart tv from Black Friday for my setup. Looking at my signature, do you think I can do dual monitors 4K? My 1070 should be fine right? If I need to SLI to push 4k I'll start saving for that, but really I just want to do 2 monitor 4k. Now the only problem that arises is that my second monitor is an element 1080p 42". Thoughts? Bad idea? Should I just use the 4k and use the older tv for side tasks? If you had my setup what would you personally do?

Here are my specs:

  • CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 6-Core Processor OC @ 5.0ghz
  • Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

  • Case: Corsair Crystal 460x
  • Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
  • Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit

you wont be maxing out all the games at 4K but it will be verry playable at about medium :) 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Your 1070 should be able to play most games at medium or so settings at 4k. I would not recommend 2 monitor gaming because your crosshair will be between the two screens and it is just weird. 

Fair point, I might just try it once and see if I like it. So how do you know if you're running a game at 4k or at 1080? The resolution, right? So if it starts to lag, I would just turn the resolution down or adjust some graphical settings?

Here are my specs:

  • CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 6-Core Processor OC @ 5.0ghz

If you want to game above 30 FPS, no, it won't be enough.

I was able to run dirt 3 on ultra at 4k with my 390. idk the fps. I didn't monitor it. 30 fps is pretty okay imo. (long term console gamer here) but just turning down to medium or low should do you good. i have an i5 older than your i7. locked. stock heat sync.
