Compensator 3.0 build 4x 8K Dell monitors and over $40k???

The new Dell UP3218K Monitors require dual DisplayPort 1.4 to be driven.

The new GTX 1080 Ti has unofficial support for both DP 1.3 and DP 1.4 but the only GPU with official support is the Quadro P6000's replacement: the Quadro GP100. It has 4 DP 1.4 ports so it could run 2 Dell 8k displays!

There is no price yet for it but we can assume it will be around $5k like its predecessor so, with all that in mind lets build a new Compensator with workstation grade parts!

 

TL/DR: This is what i think would be enough to run FOUR 8K displays:

Should we annoy Linus until he gets enough sponsors to do it???

No, it's pointless to just go and max out a pcp build and just get the most expensive of everything.

If this were a real build then that would be completely different. This serves literally no purpose.

I was considering choosing 12-core 3.0 ghz base clock e5-2687W or 6-core 3.4 ghz E5-2643, but the more cores the most "compensating" the PC does!!!

$30k of the build is the 4 screens and 2 GPUs. That is the base of the build, having 40Tb of HDDs plus 256Gb of RAM adds less to the total price than the cost of one single screen!

It is first time in history that you can go out and buy 4x 8k displays and run them on single PC. It is not just another overpriced PC build.

4x8k=16k=64x1080p :o

I mean who wouldn't? You could sell it for parts and get a decent build and car with the money you make from it.

Just what are you going to do with those 4 8K displays? They're powered by 2 Quadros, can't exactly game off of them. Enjoy your 132,710,400 pixel Excel spreadsheets xD

Never said that was all you could do, just said you can't do that. Is nobody seriously going to address what exactly you need 4 8K monitors to do?

It's a useless setup.

So what your trying to say is that 8K monitors are starting to appear but the supporting technology is still lacking behind? At least from a coating point of view.

We're just now getting cards that can do 4K 60FPS barely on their own, and that is the 1080 Ti. 4K is only 8,294,400 pixels where as 4 8K monitors is 132,710,400 pixels. So yeah the GPUs needed to power 16 times the pixels of a 4K monitor, in any means other than displaying light office loads, won't exist for a long time.

If I had those kind of funds I'd rather build an actual server instead of this useless monstrosity xD
