Is there a PC monitor that is comparable to the Apple 27 Inch Thunderbolt or Imac 5K?

Thats great news thanks!

Whats the minimum spec of graphics card to run one of these? I'm not talking about games purely photo and video editing? I think the PC has a 780Ti in at the moment.

Something with two DisplayPorts at least, that's the only way to get 5120x2880@60. (The monitor has DP 1.2, not 1.3.)

Apparently a 980 is confirmed to work, but less than that I don't know. Maxwell at least. (Not sure about AMD.)

Edit: a GTX 950 is the minimum on the nvidia side - they'll go up to 5120x3200@60.

Thanks, looks like a graphics card upgrade is needed with the Monitor then.
