I wish Infinite had better textures. The design is gorgeous, but the moment you look at anything close-up at a resolution higher than 1080p it becomes something of a blurry mess.

Not to derail the thread, but about how expensive would a desktop be to be able to do these type of settings on current games?

If you want to run 4k with good FPS your looking at about $2000 or more rig. To get max settings at 1080p though its MUCH cheaper. 4k is an incredible resource hog but once you get used to it theres no going back. As sad as it is 1080p looks rrally blurry to me now

No single GPU will run 4K at 60fps in today's games. You're basically looking at a 780 Ti SLI setup, which would be $1400 in video cards alone.

I don't think 1080p looks blurry, but games are certainly much more vibrant at 1440p+.

Well, much of that would come down to the monitor, right?  I would guess max 1080p be fine with me, but was curious.

This is absolutly false. I can run everything at 4k at 30+ FPS with a single 780ti. The only game this is not true on is Far Cry 3 which has performance issues as it is.

And do you have any idea how much higher a resolution 4k is than 1440p

I said 60fps.

Yeah, a single 780 Ti will run nearly everything at 30fps 3840x2160 -- it's a beast of a card.  But 60fps at that resolution from one GPU is asking a ton.  My monitor only downsamples from 3200x1800, but even at that "low" resolution with no AA, Crysis 3 only manages around 30fps flat.

Over twice as many pixels, which has what do with anything?  What are you arguing about?

Wow my bad i read that for some reason as you cant play games at 4k without SLI 780ti.

For real my apologies completly misread that.

Bioshock Infinite looks very pretty, but it's a bad show case for 4K.
This is my favorite of the shots you posted:

Looking at it at native res only the painting holds up. Even shrunk down to 960x540 the desk lamp still looks like a ps2 asset.

It's kind of a problem too with selling 4K tvs atm. I was looking at a 70" 4K tv couple days ago, it had a 4k demo od after earth. You could easily see the difference between the 2K rendered backgrounds and the 4K actors. Next was a soccer match demo, sure looked great, I don't like soccer though. Not a lot if interesting content available.
All the other 1080p tvs did look very soft after that 70" 4K monster.

Let's see what The witcher 3 can pull off in 4K :)

I dont agree.

Everything looks better at 4k.  Everything.  If I posted 1080p shots of it it would look even worse.  Sure the game doesn't have great texture work but it still looks bad textured at 1080p. In fact the only difference between these shots and standard 1080p shots are the amount of aliasing is drastically reduced. There's zero reason to play anything under 4k if you can run it, as everything looks naturally better at 4k. Its the exact same thing as old games rendered in 1080p they look dramatically improved in terms of image quality.

In fact things like texture work, lighting, etc. are now days the least important things to me. Sure they are nice "eye candy" but my number 1 priority with graphics now days is image quality. High resolutions with high anti aliasing. I admit it won't be the same for everyone as some would prefer higher res textures at lower resolutions but honestly those types of games image quality really hurts the picture for me. Thats not to say I don't enjoy sub 4k games as I love my Xbox 1 and PS4 but its just a personal preference.
