Why would I be excited when I had it for months?

Friendly advice from me, don't go 4k yet. It's not worth it since the hardware still isn't there. SLI is always a suboptimal choice and current highend single GPUs are not up to the task to deliver proper 60fps@4k without having to make concessions. What makes it worse is that not even the current transfer technologies aren't even there yet. DP and HDMI only go so far.

If you're still on 1080p then go 1440p next and in 2-3 years switch to 4k when there's actually the hardware to support it.

 Display Port 1.3 allows 4k in 120 FPS or two 4k Displays in 60 Fps so it goes far enough.

 

To OP:

The 980 TI can handle 4k at 30 FPS on max settings. Unless you decrease quality you will need SLI.

It is possible to have a 4k 60fps rig that works if money is of no concern.

Autumn 2016 the new cards should come. 14-16nm GPUs which should handle 4k gaming without issue.

So I would for sure wait with it, however if you have the cash its possible right now or if you are satisifed with 30 FPS or if you are willing to compromise on a few settings.

Bur none of the current cards has DisplayPort 1.3, so his point is still valid, for proper 4K you'll need one of the next gen cards.

No, because its a propriatary piece of soctware and Vulkan is also just around the corner.

And so was DX11 while OpenGL was open, and that didn't stop DX11 to be the most used of both solutions.
