AMD RYZEN 4k

I will most likely be getting the ryzen 1700x, what's the best graphics card for this? Can the ryzen run 4K as I was watching Linus and he mentioned something about it.

cpus rarely have anything to do with running a certain resolution but probably a 1080/1080ti(if announced)/titan x pascal

Wait for the benchmarks, for a 4k gpu it depends on the game. light games can run on 4k with a rx480 for heavy games a gtx1070 or a gtx1080 is needed.

Ryzen is not a graphical processor and therefore does not have a visual output such as 4k. But the CPU should prove good in 4k paired with powerful enough GPU.

if the benchmarks hold true, then yes, the 1700x will be able to do 4k paired with a 1070, 1080/180ti, or something from amds soon to be announced vega

I am going to be waiting for benchmarks yes but wanted to look at maybe upgrading graphics card. Would it need two gpu as I might not have the money for that.

unless you play AAA games all the time a card like 480 can handle casual games like overwatch.

Depends on what you do in 4K. If gaming then what games you play

If he likes low settings and/or 30fps then I'd agree. Some games (like The Division) used to cane me even with 2 1080's and the details maxed out. I'd say a 1080 minimum, but everyone is different

 i am assuming that most people don't play the division, that's why i stated overwatch as a game that most people play, 4k is not really worth it currently.

Yeah, a potato would run Overwatch

Ryzen only has 16 lanes for graphics, for multiple cards and 4k you want Broadwell-E since a 6850k has 40 lanes. Wait for the price drop.
