Exactly this - to put in perspective LG announced in June a 1440p 144Hz IPS Ultrawide which goes into production in Q1 2017, these are the kind of lead times we can expect, in fact it'll likely be Q2 when they even appear to consumers - so it could be very close to a year after announcement. It also shows you where Ultrawide screens are at the moment, its going to be while until we see a UHD version, 2018 at the earliest.

That comment was in respect of today's 4K monitors and GPUs, not tomorrow's.

Almost certainly!
You do realise that I've been gaming at 4K for two years, don't you? I started with a 780 Ti.
So have I. Your point been?
We still dont have "affordable" cards to push 4k screens to over 60fps consistently never mind the "5k" wide screens people ar talking about on this thread and needing 120+fps for them
So the resolution is 33% bigger and we need double the framerate
Thats going to need a card that is 166% quicker than the titan xp.
now for a few years, each years gen has been a maximum of 50% faster than the previous gen so it will be the 3rd gen on from pascal which will have sufficient umph.
I dont even think that's on Nvidia or AMD roadmap yet so easily 2020.
And we are talking about the Titan having the performance not the mainstream cards which will be 50% slower so for mainstream it might be the 4th gen before we are there and 2021 onwards.
Of course if these 120Hz 5k wide screens existed now we could run them on lessor cards like I have done on 4k for the last two years before finally getting a card which can run the screen properly but its not ideal.
So really, people shouldn't be concerned about the lack 120Hz 5k screens since we don't have the hardware to drive them anyway and the two should coincidence by 2020 ish.
Of course neither will be cheap as I suspect Nvidia will want £2k for their Titan by then and monitor people will want £1500 to £2000 for the screen as well.
Now that ASUS have announced a 4k 144Hz HDR panel, is there any sign of 4k Ultrawide?
5120×2160? No. Nor is there likely to be for a while. Never-mind that there is no GPU even remotely capable of driving that (not that this is stopping 8K screens being talked about), they simply haven't milked 3440x1440 enough yet, and definitely not 3840x1600 which we will see increasingly more of over the next year or so. These actually have great potential IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if manufacturers drag things out so long, we will see people asking for 8K ultrawide before we ever see a 4K ultrawide screen come to market!

@String. The only UW HDR I know of coming this year, is the Gsync version of the C34F791 which is normal 3440x1440.
And regarding the whole discussion subject, 4K curved HDR TV with HDMI 2.1 and Freesync are more plausible this year, and at much lower prices than monitors........
UW has small market imho to worth the investment.

If HDR is the next increment then I'm not sure it would be a worthwhile upgrade from a X34A. As far as market share is concerned, I'd rather stick with 1440p UW than go 16:9@4k.

The Samsung gsync version of the CF791 will come out later this year.
Which is destined to be better than the Freesync version for no other reason, other than they did a major cockup with the adaptive scaler used.
Funny enough, the Korean Microboard monitor, using the same panel, is far superior with the freesync working better!!!!!

The C34F791 is not HDR. Even the official Samsung site doesn't list it as such. It's Quantum Dot, but not HDR. Are you saying the G-Sync version is going to be made HDR? First I've heard if that's true, and I can't see it happening.

Technically speaking no.

That's pathetic!! Can't tell that Samsung are new to gaming monitors then
80-100 fps is the freesync band, bellow that there is all sorts of hell loose with Freesync on.
And the 48-100 band, isn't that better either. People still experiencing issues bellow 80 fps. :/
Some issues can be resolved with proper DP 1.2 cable, not the one coming with the monitor, but not all.
But that happens when you have open standards :/

Hopefully Freesync2 will sort a lot of that out in the future!
I mean I can't complain, I'm set for a while now with the 38UC99 as it's v v sweet with a 10bit panel
I just need Vega and I'm set!

That depends upon the games you're playing. I expect a GTX 1060 would play Darkstar One at 4K / 60 fps. A GTX 1070 should run Borderlands 2 at 4k at over 60 fps.
