Yeah it pretty much does on 90% of games. I've tested The Division, Forza 3, BF2, all run at 4k 60 no problemo. A question arises here, if gaming at 4k, do you really need AA MSAA SSAO etc??
That's good to know. I just wish there were more benchmarks with those settings disabled as that is what I'd use.
yes you need AA at 4K 2AA is not enough generally 4X is good enough. depending on the game and my experience
4K at no AA can look horrid in a lot of games thats with a 27" screen which should be ultra sharp already

Yer, but over £100?? Come on, just not worth it.
Ended up out of pocket by over £150 (was a motherboard)
even though OCUK support is amazing you should never be out of pocket due to RMA
Doesn't it cost to send an item back?
not if a fault is found ocuk refund up to £12 of the shipping fee from memory. if a fault is not found then yes... you would be
you can even ask them to organize a DPD collection on your behalf

I think Ludovic is embellishing the truth somewhat...
Nah... they refused to honor my motherboard RMA which would power off instantly when switched on, because they 'said' I'd damaged some tracks (I'm guessing when installing or removing my video card)
They even sent some pics taken with I presume a microscope, saying because the scratch went across 5 tracks, they wouldn't accept it, and shipped it back...
When I pointed out the scratch was only to the varnish layer, they didn't care...
It's a long story... but they didn't even bother to test the MB, just returned it, had they done so... they could have said - "you're an idiot, the MB is 100% fine!" (turns out I followed the cases standoff guide and the guide had a standoff where I shouldn't, which caused a short to earth and in turn caused it to turn off... I removed it and the MB was just fine!)
But by then I had bought a second MB (thus the £150 loss)
So no I try and avoid said company, and stick with companies (like OC, etc.), that I hope I can trust not to try and weasel out of an RMA, on the basis of a picture alone and not even try to see if a MB is 'actually' faulty.

hmm see above for the fuller story...
Sorry dude but that sounds like user damage to me. It happens
But it wasn't actually broken, that's my point... they spotted some varnish had been scrapped off and took a photo... RMA rejected
Had I actually done damage to the tracks... fair enough.
They should have rejected my RMA, because they tested it and could find no fault with it...

Probably not. I play a good few games at 1080p/1440p with little or no AA, so at 4k it should be even better. Really depends on if you can actually notice any jaggies, but I'd say AA in not needed at 4k.
I got my Asus 1080Ti ROG Strix OC on Saturday (thanks OcUK) and its a beast of a card. Going from 2 x GTX 680 4gb cards... WOW! I can run most of my games maxed out at 2560x1440. Games like Ghost Recon: Wildlands I have to turn a few bits down but still runs nice and smooth. I am actually starting to blow up space craft in Star Citizen now. 
depends on the game after using 1080p/1440p/1440p ultra/4K
they all need AA is certain games
Witcher needs AA but only FXAA
Overwatch needs AA but only SMAA x2
some games like indies platforms you wont notice but realistic games/city scapes generally you do

Hopefully getting a 1080Ti over the next month or so, I'm looking at the Aorus Extreme Edition, looks like a beast! I had a lot of praise for the extreme gaming GTX 1080, this looks even better. 
Its been a long time but do you set profiles for this through the NVIDIA control panel or do you use something else?
