Finally went 4K

Picked up a Samsung UD590 and it's freaking beautiful. BF4 servers are down or I'd love to test it out with BF4 but played some CS GO and was so so nice.

Currently just a 290X lightning. Will be testing TRI 970's later today

Would that work with 4k do you know ?

it surely will, just the fps won't be great.

JustCallMeVlad · 27 Dec 2014 at 20:09

290 should push 4K just fine

kefan77 · 27 Dec 2014 at 20:11

if you consider 25fps to be fine, then yes.

otherwise not so much.

What fps are you looking at ? And would you recommend getting another monitor instead ?

randal · 27 Dec 2014 at 20:13

I'm getting more and more tempted, but I think a single 780Ti is going to struggle so would need to factor in another card. Dah.

BF4 @ 4K

you'd get a much more enjoyable experience with 1440p.

The monitor I have at the moment is that, what would you recommend that would see a difference other that ?

The Samsung 27D850D 27 the one you stated that you had in the link, would that be ideal ?

kefan77 · 27 Dec 2014 at 20:32

if you want 1440p PLS panel, yes.

Ye thanks, and would I notice a big difference from the monitor I have now ?

I got a UHD TN screen and preferred my DGM 1440p so sent the UHD back. With so many pixies slammed into such a tiny area I think I will need to get a 5k IPS screen to really notice the difference.

Would love to know how you got on with the 970's.

Currently got two and considering third cause 3840x2160 is a killer to run

Have to dial down settings more than would like for games such as dragon age.
