4K gaming possible at full settings on todays hardware?

thread title is a lie.

fps too bad and isn't maxxed. he has already stated he needs to drop the settings. thats with two titans pretty poor performance tbh.

Its a TN panel http://www.samsung.com/levant/consu...rals/monitors/led-monitor/LU28D590DS/ZN-spec#.

It's not worth the money imo.

Colors/blacks will look pretty bad with that kind of size.

Want 4K urgently and can put up with TN at huge sizes? Sure.

everything I have heard so far is that this Monitor is a high high end TN.

I think someone on this forum or overclock.net compared the picture quality to that of the korean monitors and those are PLS mostly.

So I don't think this will be your typical TN or quite as bad as you may think, or even bad for that matter. It's moreso about the computer it takes to drive such a thing

Just fired up Crysis 3 at 4K and thought I would check VRAM usage in it :eek:

This on a Single GPU? I was told once that the Vram reading you split it in half to get your real usage.
If this is true your real usage for each card was 2263mb

No, it was SLI and it was me who told you that you need to halve it. With nvidia, you don't do this, as it is read correctly, so what you see being read is what you see being used.
 
looks nice. Though the bezel on that Asus looks better. I can't help but think about what you said about the stand being wobbly... That new Asus monitor and AOC monitor look good if the stand ends up being better. Though in pics alone I do like the Samsungs look, it is very modern and minimalist. Guess that doesn't pan out....

Why do the icons look so big? Aren't they supposed to be really small? It looks like it would on my 1440p screen.

I mean, I am used to 1080p on a 15 inch laptop, is it much worse than that on websites?

I highlighted all the icons on the desktop and pressed and held left CTRL and used my scroll wheel to make them bigger :) The task bar is small but I can have it bigger but I am happy with the size in truth. Websites are fine and any that are too small, again I just press left CTRL and scroll wheel again to make the text bigger.

Edit:

I might do some ShadowPlay recording later but it will only record in 1080P (probably a good thing, as I have crappy broadband with 70K upload speed) but hopefully it will come out ok :)

Man that is awesome.

I saw that it has an upscaler? It is being advertised as a good option for watching sports because of 1ms response time, but the thing that caught my eye is movies? Blu Ray upscaled or is that just marketing? Have you tried watching any video on it?

I remember the thing that sold me on 4k was walking into a tigerdirect and seeing a 65 inch 4k TV playing city scape scenes and basic clips from nature... so anything close to that with movies would sell me even more. Bigger on movies than I am on games, though I have my bigscreen for that.
 
I have not used it for films but was going to d/l a clip but when I see it was 8.5GB dor 140 seconds, I didn't bother :D

As for upscaling, not sure on that and will have a look into it.

The Overlord which i have is an1440p 120hz IPS and not a PLS. There is no way i would change that for this lousy half assed 4k attempt. Even if it was the best 4k monitor ever made performance is poor unless you get 4 titans. Wait for Maxwell for 4k.

Would really like to see the memory usage for BF4 maxed out @4k. After all the advertising rubbish about needing a 3gb card for 1080p I bet it hardly uses more than that @4K.

At 4k Bf4 maxxed out will easily eat up 3gb or will be very close too it.
I hit 2.3gb fully maxxed out at 1440p on Bf4.

Usage =/= required
Graphics cards cache

And the point he was making was that Amd said that you would need more than 3GB at 1080p, yet you dont even need that at 1440 ;) naughty AMD

Lies. They were referring to 1440P and they were correct. Playing BF4 at full whack at 1440P on a 690 was not a nice experience, unless you like hitching that is. I experience a similar thing when i run short of vram on BF4 if i use excessive resolution scaling. Before anyone peddles the argument that it doesn't happen to Kaap so it can't be true, not everyone has a high speed pci-e revo drive to supplement their 690's like Kaap does.

We also saw a growing trend towards 1440P resolution monitors at the beginning of 2010 expanding the wide screen portfolio that many screen makes are aiming for currently. To power gaming at such high resolutions, AMD made the right decision to equip their flagship cards with 3 GB of video ram which provides enough horse power to drive high quality and high resolution textures which shipped with Crysis 2, Crysis 3 and Sleeping Dogs.
