Prove it! Please list some 4K-monitors which were available for PCs in 2000 - 2006! Some benchmarks of Anandtech & Co. of that era in 3840x2160 would also be welcome! Also let us know which PC setup you had in 2001 or 2002. |
I don't know.
It looks pretty possible to me.
You don't need a 4k (or 8MP) monitor to render, and play games at 4k, super-sampling is a thing.
I can play games (some modern ones too) at 8k on my 4k monitor, with a single 1080Ti.

2560x1600
Roughly half the pixel count of a modern, 16:9 4k monitor.

Systems from 2006 running some of the most advanced/demanding titles of the time, at 4MP.
None of these games even made it to the PS2.
It isn't hard to imagine systems like these being able to run PS2, or early 2000s PC titles at 8MP.
Especially if you drop some settings.
16k gaming on a PC.
