monitors that support 4k

[steamgamer]

hi all just wondering if the new dell 4k monitors are worth buying and if they are cheap enough to buy 3 also if anybody knows of a place to preorder or buy them in Australia. Im also wondering if u were to run these in surround off a 290 or 290x would a display port- triple disply port adapter work with 3x display port to hdmi adapters in the triple part. any answers to any of these problems would be appreciated thanks.

On of those monitors (4k display) costs 1000$ so I it depends on your budget if it's "cheap enough". I would say no though.

 

If you run 4k in surround I hope you at least sli if not tripple sli because one titan gets 60FPS (and drops below 60) in Games at 4k, so a 290 or 290x wont even give you 60FPS in a single monitor

You would probably need around 3 R9 290x or maybe even 4

If you wanna run 3 4K monitors you better wait for next gen GPUs… The GPUs we got now just can´t support it IMO since a game like Crysis 3 will have a hard time running 60 FPS on 1 4K monitor with a tri-Titan setup. Neither SII or Crossfire scale very well after the second GPU...

Damn!!! 34K!!!

To be on the safe side and not end up wasting money don´t bother with 4K or any of the current GPU´s yet, wait till the next ones come, today's GPU´s can use 4K but playing modern games @ 60 fps with High+ settings? NOPE! maybe on lowest settings possible...but then id say its kinda stupid.

Anyway to answer OP´s Questions, i say maybe, if you have 3000 USD to spend sure. personally i would not even though i got the money to spend.

as for the DP Adapter, i dont know, i dont think anyone knows until the monitor is out. To get the proper answer would be for you to Ask Dell.

The scaling for 3 or 4 way Crossfire for a 290X is beyond horrible. In some cases frame rates decrease compared to 2-way Crossfire
