Except it was.
Again, the PC had 4k displays during the Playstation 2 era.

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 was hoping someone would ask me to prove it.
I tend not to make a claim unless I look it up first. ;)

They were actually 3840×2400 resolution, so higher than 4k. But you know. Cats and stuff.

As for benchmarks, you aren't serious right? Anandtech wouldn't have done any reviews or deep dives and they are probably the only real website I trust.

In 2002... I had a 21" CRT with a resolution of 1920x1440. Aka Sony StylePro CPD-E540 as I needed it for professional work.
This isn't a resolution consoles like the Playstation 4 or Xbox One can even hit in 2018. (The Pro/X consoles of course exceed it.)

I would have been running with a Geforce 4 Ti 4600 with a pair of 3DFX Voodoo 2's in SLI, Athlon XP 2800+ and 4GB of DDR Ram.

In-fact, I still have the motherboard, processor, ram and one of the Voodoo 2's from that rig. I intend to get it back up and running at some point if again, you require me to provide evidence.

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.

You are ruining my life! Let me prove people wrong, I live for it. :P

You are comparing tech of the year 2000 (PS2) with tech of the year 2006 in an extremely costly setup (quad-SLI). And nobody is denying that PS2 was very dated in 2006... the 7th gen was already out then.

Who gives a shit? It doesn't change a damn thing.

But until mid 2004 there was no Nvidia SLI and until mid 2005 there was no ATi Crossfire... the maximal performance you could get in the early PS2-years were from one GeForce 2 (2000), GeForce 3 (2001) and GeForce4 Ti 4600 (2002) respectively their ATi counterparts...

False.

ATI had "Crossfire". - Aka. With the ATI Rage Fury Max. It wasn't "branded" as crossfire however.
It allowed ATI to put two GPU's on a single card to work together.

As for SLI, that was 3DFX's domain, nVidia purchased them and wouldn't implement the "branding" until the Geforce 6.

good luck playing in 4K on them.

You are conflating two separate issues. That is also a logical fallacy.
