Yer will do. I am about to remove the Dell and use the Asus 120Hz (which upscales to almost 4K (3200x1800) and after Liverpool beat Spurs, I will jump on getting some comparison images.

4K gaming possible at full settings on todays hardware?

** there's a football area for that
**Oh to keep on topic, I like your monitor Gregster.

Rotten multi GPU support for RTW2 so I don't think anyone will be playing it maxed at 4K.

They still haven't fixed that?
Man of Honour
I have not looked in a couple of weeks but my gut feeling is they are never going to fix it.
Update
I just looked over on the official RTW2 forums and people recon SLI is now working.

As for Rome Total War, sorry I don't have it.

Well that's an improvement I suppose. I doubt Crossfire will ever be fixed though. I tried the game on my 7990 a while back and it wasn't too great.

I just tried SLI and it is an improvement from nothing at all, it is right up there with CF. Both CF and SLI now give something extra, unfortunately that is very little.
I am disgusted that a modern game can perform so badly with multi GPU support.
If I could run any of my setups on a 4K monitor maxed in RTW2 I would be getting an average of about 20 fps with minimums of about 8 fps.
A total joke for modern software and hardware.

Yeah it also performs well here without AA though. Am not sure if 200% is the same as 4k res though.

Downsampled image and a proper 4K image. I tried to get the same spot as well to compare.
Ohhh and for fun, I tried to set a 200% res scale when I was at 4K and I ran out of VRAM

what game has used the most vram?
The benches in this thread show AA tears up cards with 3 GB Vram

How do you think two 290s would fair compared to those Titans

I have purposefully not been watching VRAM, as what is seen is not always what is needed, so that wouldn't give an accurate description of what is what.
As for 290's, they should pass me (at stock), as they have a bigger 512 bit bus. I would expect a swing of a couple of frames in favour of the 290's in honesty.

Yep it's very poor indeed. Though not something I'll lose sleep over, as I was generally disappointed in the whole game and probably won't go back to it. Shogun 2 was much better.
Gregster how do you rate this monitor for gaming over your 120Hz ASUS?
There is something awesome about gaming on a 120hz (or more) monitor. I would, without question, bin the Dell IPS over the Asus. I found the caveats on the IPS irritating and kinda spoilt what is a fantastic screen. As for the Asus 120hz over the Samsung 4K, I wouldn't swap the 4K. The IQ is so much better and everything just looks so much clearer. I feel at times that people make too much of TN Vs IPS and have maybe had a bad TN panel but the viewing angle is superb and the gaming experience is top notch. I have not noticed any tearing or input lag like I did with the IPS and everything just feels so much smoother.
Out the box it is very bright but after some tweaking, I have it just how I like it. Of course that is personal preference as well and we all like different things.
In short. I am loving this 4K Sammy and will be sticking with it. I cheat though, as I also have the Asus right next to it for 3D gaming

I have the old BenQ XLl2420t and I really like the 120Hz, mainly because of the reduced input lag with V-Sync. Not sure I could deal with either the input lag or tearing on the Samsung :/
It does look very, very good though and I'm sure it has much better IQ than my BenQ.
I'd probably have to upgrade though too

Nice! I do have an i5 3570k right now so I am considering the bump to an i7 for a little more juice. Does the cpu matter that much more at the higher res?

There isn't any input lag or tearing (that I have seen or felt) on the Samsung. I am very picky on these sort of things and found the Dell 1440P to be very bad on both counts (V-Sync to stop tearing resulted in input lag). I found I put up with tearing in fast paced games like BF3/4 but gave up and went back to the Asus.
The demands on the CPU become less as you go for a bigger resolution. The 3570K might well cope just fine with 4K

Nice one Greg, was just about to hit the sack when I seen this.
How can I sleep now with green rage
Very nice purchase I might have to do the buy abroad thing do not fancy waiting until June .... thanks to yourself

Damn, do you have a link to back this statement up? Not that I don't believe you, but I thought (assumed) higher res meant more demand on cpu, if not... well then... and with dx 12 and mantle coming around I could save on upgrading to an i7.
