Not seeing a massive difference with 4K

I game on a 116" screen with a Sony 4K projector.

From switching from 1080p resolution to 3840x2160 am not noticing much difference.. Please bare in mind my projector auto upscales everything to 3840x2160

More than happy as can pretty much max everything with my 970.

I am yet to try that Nvidia upscaling feature on my 970 yet.

One last thing..... Is there any way for my 970 to force 24hz on bluray playback and when a game plays change to 60hz?

:)
 
I read that as he's running it at 1080p so can max settings, with the projector doing upscaling, though the question becomes that if he can't notice the difference between 1080p and 4K then why waste £8k on a projector in the first place

I am not sure how that is possible. When was your last visit to the opticians? I only ask as when I use my glasses with my projector I see in hd. Without I can still see fine, but miss all the detail (which my brain ignores)
 
OP needs to look at the thread on here talking about how you need a huge CF / SLI system to play games at 4K. If a 970 can max out 4K then it'll soon be mainstream!

This is the opening section of Crysis3 from standing in the rain to getting inside the building using Quad SLI 980s @4K maxed settings.

Frames, 4564,
Time (ms), 95515,
Min, 24,
Max, 67,
Avg, 47.783,

Crysis 3 scales well even with 4 cards so it does not take too much maths to work out what the OP will get with a single GTX 970, about 10 fps.:eek:
 
nope works for everything!.

Think you guys are missing the point. Sitting so close to your monitors! you will notice the pixel difference at 4k vs 1080p! YES!

But with 1080p being a good viewing quality all ready and certain hardware adding more detail etc with an upscale am not seeing a massive difference at all! especially vs buying another 780 card for SLI

I have reality creation + a darbee in my chain + the scaler inside the projector.
 
viewing distance matters of course, but you're missing the point that upscaling isn't at all the same as running at 4k. Your actual resolution needs to be at 4k, not just what the projector is showing. Doesn't matter how good the upscaling tech is, it will NEVER be the same as running it at the right res in the first place. You are not adding any more detail doing an upscale, just smearing it over more pixels, hopefully done well enough to give a smoother result than if it just straight multiplied it up.
