| Eddie_Raja said: Nice catch! And I never said they are hard to run games (That was kinda my point). I am saying on one hand yes 4K is harder to run, but on the other hand it is no where near bonecrushing! In fact I can easily play BF3 and Metro: 2033 at 30 FPS in 4K (But I don't lol as my screen is 1080p and I wouldn't notice the difference). |
I beg to differ, 4k is what, 30% or-there-abouts more pixels than 5760x1080?
And 4k is about 20-30% less pixels than my own screen set-up. (7680x1440)
Essentially, anything less than a couple of high-end cards just won't cut it with the most demanding of games. (The new Metro, Crysis 3 are more demanding than that which is probably a good indicator of where Next-gen is heading!)
Not even Triple Titans are hitting 60fps. :P
Go with a less demanding game however and things don't look so grim, but do take note you still need a $1000+ single GPU to achieve 60fps.
However, what all these games have in common is that they were built for Direct X 9 hardware in mind (Due to consoles) and it's particular nuances, it will be interesting to see how the landscape changes in the next few years and how much Video memory AMD and nVidia throw at the performance problem, perhaps we will see GDDR6 sooner rather than later?
