Hi all,

This might be a stupid question and please tell me,

Will current graphics card support these new 4 k devices at 3840 x 2160 resolution
 
Here is a video of Battlefield 3 played @ 4k on a 680.
If you have a 4k screen you can watch the video in 4k.


Also remember 4k is only +30% pixel count above people with 3 x 1080p displays so SLI 680/670s should be able to play most games pretty much maxed out @ 4k.

Aren't the AMD 7 series ready for 4K via HDMI?

HDMI can't transmit 4k resolution as far as I am aware.
If it can then I'd imagine it'll be limited to 24fps.

HDMI cant even do 60fps @ 2560x1440

edit:
The HDMI 1.4 standard supports
3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels high @ 24Hz /25Hz /30Hz
4096 pixels wide by 2160 pixels high @ 24Hz

Yep, 24fps for 4k over HDMI

Here is a 4k monitor:

Viewsonic are making them too:

I dont think 4k is relevant for monitors, simply because of the distance you sit at to use them (and the physical size of screen to make 4k worthwhile)
 
I hope 4K monitors full flat and production isn't possible/viable. I have recently just bought 2 27" 3D monitors though :p
 
Unless GPU power rises considerably in the future there's no way you're playing demanding games on max settings at this resolution with less than 3 (maybe 2) GPU's.
 
^^ Very true but I am pretty sure it is a couple of years away before those monitors/TV's become mainstream and affordable.

I think it may be as long as 10 years before we see mainstream TVs using 4k. The TV broadcasting companies are only just getting to grips with normal HD.

No, in 10 years 8k will be roughly where 4k was a year ago.
I give 4k another 2 years & it'll be hitting the higher end of consumer affordability. Another year after that and we'll see £800 sets.

I followed the move to HD from SD for years. I remember the arguments about different standards and also the broadcasting companies having to upgrade their equipment. I have not followed recent developments but I suspect it will be the same all over again going to 4k or whatever standard they agree on.

Having said that there are a couple of 4k TVs about but the asking price was anything up to £20000.00p. Having said that there were HD TVs about years before the HD standard was settled on unfortunately some of these sets did not meet the agreed standard.
