8K shootout @ TweakTown w/ 9590

SSAA renders the frame at multiples of the rez, 4X 4K = 8K.

So it's 8K.

Not with Sniper Elite 3 it is just the normal 2160p settings that everyone uses for that bench and is available as a normal graphics option.

This has got to be one of the very worst reviews I have seen in a long time.

Last I checked quad equals four. I might be wrong though :p;):D

Battlefield 4 was playable at 8K on Quad 290X 8GB. :)

Yes for people with about 8 Hawaii GPUs ;)

Sniper Elite V3 was also playable at 8K with Quad (four) 295x2.

That's good going to be honest, weren't people paying around £1200 (cost of 4 x 8GB 290X's) for a single card just last year?
 
Amusing seeing the NVIDIA users have to flock to the defence of their beloved cards :D

It's unplayable on either hardware, so doesn't mean much, calm your underwear.

I haven't seen any nVidia user's flocking to the defence of their hardware.

I've seen Kaap state the review is rubbish,cite examples of where other real users of nVidia hardware have achieved wildly different results to those in the review, and show how his Titan setup from what, 2 years ago, shows great performance, but he can hardly be called an nVidia user. He's about as agnostic as they come...have you seen his various PC specs?
 
```We won't see 8K on the desktop side of things for a little while yet, but it is coming. What we're going to see first, is virtual reality headsets adopting 4K and beyond much quicker. We could see 8K on VR headsets as early as 2016, which isn't that far away. For PC gamers, 8GB of VRAM isn't needed and I would not recommend 8GB of VRAM to many people. There's only $100 or so difference between the Radeon R9 290X with 4GB and 8GB of RAM, so if you're at that point and don't plan on upgrading for quite sometime, then it might pay to grab the 8GB of VRAM.```

LG already has an 8K TV and there's talk of switching to 8K soon :eek: i read about it yesterday.... it was first displayed last year

unfortunately right now it's only LG : ...it had a 100'' screen :D

thing is realistically we wont see one card that can run 4k for 2-3 yrs yet. why even do a thread article on 8k if 4k cant be run comfortably ?

look it logically 5 yrs minimum for 8k. 5 yrs in tech is basically light years. by the time that comes 4k5k8k probably wont be being used.
 
yes exactly, we're running before we can even walk..............because there wont be a GPU that can touch 8K for years :D

but i cant see us ever needing more than 4K, because Dieing Light on 1080p is close to perfection already, it just needs far better texturing and detailing and this can easily be on 4K
 
50ms gpu rendertime... thats not playable in multiplayer.

Playable for me, but perhaps a gpu overclock would help. It remains perfectly smooth using Mantle in BF4 even when fps drops below 60. :)

7680x4320

Excuse the handheld poor recording, but recording at 8K is currently a no go. Video memory usage was about 7.5GB. :D
