you are genius just turn settings down little example high and will hit 60fps, and plus this benchmark with reference card, with oc edition different story.
I have seen many reviews on gaming at 4K. The general rule of thumb is MEDIUM settings for smooth 60fps gameplay at 4K and the general consensus is that MEDIUM gaming at 4K is aesthetically inferior experience to ULTRA gaming at 1080p.
'OC' edition og GTX 980. will get you another 15% of frames. That is an extra 4-5 frames to add to the 29 FPS @ 4K. Not very good results for the £500 you will have just splashed out on that GPU; is it?
Only option is to go for dual GPU setup. "So 2* GTX 980, that will be £1000 sir!". "Oh, and even that will only just scrape playable frames with still comprormised graphical quality, on current AAA titles, the myriad of dual gpu comaptibility issues and other headaches notwithstanding. In another 6 months when the next tranche of more graphically demanding games come out, your £1000 of Sli'd gpus will be obsolete for 4K purposes, and you will be back looking to upgrade to the next £1000+ gpu solution in order to power your insanely overpriced, overkill 4K monitor.......have a nice day and see ya in 6 months with another £1000 in yer back hipper!"
Again another poor argument from MadTheCat, using the 980 for 4K is a bad idea due to it's 256 bus rate, if he knew anything about 4k this would be on his list. The 295X2 only uses 4GB for gaming not 8 as it has 4GB per GPU. Nice try yet again little buddy.
So you are essentially saying that you need Sli'd Titans to run 4K with decent gfx settings?
Just had a little squizz and it appears you are correct!
Look, 4 way SLI TITAN-Z almost nail Crysis on 'Very High' at 60fps.
2* TITAN-Zs ~ £3000+?
LOL!
EDIT: 2* TITAN-Zs = £5000!!!
WOW JUST *** WOW!
I rest my case.......(again).
