Still on w7 here mate, will be making the switch to 8.1 soon though.

I'd definitely suggest making the move to 8.1 Setter asap bud.

Been putting it off for ages guys tbh, best is i can get it for free from a nephew who is a comp science student.

I was a massive coward when it came to W8 but so easy to use and I never use the Metro screen and only desktop. It took 5mins to get used to, as everything is similar to W7. Worth the move I say Rob.

Had a round of bf4 just now. Odd spike or two here and there but generally pretty good. Hardcore server so reg was much better than normal. Currently running a stock system to bed in yet another cpu. Will see if i can get the nephew to bring me up a copy of 8.1 this weekend.

Played a game earlier and for no reason other than to show my frames and smoothness, here is me playing BF4
Just finished uploading, so will take a while for it to get full 1080P.
Not the best map to be show casing tbh TDM also takes less performance.
Get on another more demanding map with 64 players

Lol, your cpu obsession is an illness bud.

Lol, the quest for a good un. Swapped my L3 2013 4790k for Tonester's L4 2014 chip, (he bought two). Vid on mine was 1.264, this one is 1.200. Most i eeked out of the first one was 4.8ghz for a few benches, not stable in games though.

Its pretty hard to say really as theyre so random. Examples being, scoping in/out, explosion going off, getting shot at/shooting at something or someone, turning quickly, entering/exiting vehicles. I tend to play mostly uk servers, few european ones mainly dutch or german.
Looking forward to that, being a 4gb user.
Just did a little test using the res scale at 200% (4K) and logging peak GPU memory usage, 64 man SoS, Custom ultra, no AA, SBAO, high post and everything else ultra, peaked at 2660mb according to GPU-Z. Frames averaged somewhere between 75-90fps, highs in the low 100's and lows in the high 60's. Tbh the game didn't look any better/worse then it does at 1080 4xmsaa.
So in reality I think BF4 will be fine with 4K, throw in the monumental PPI gain of going from 1080 over 24" and 4k over 28" and I doubt I'd notice any reduced settings.
As a rough guess for Vram at 4K with todays titles (sleeping dogs excluded as its complete BS of a game and code); Were back at the grunt to drive playable frames at said vram requirement again. Anything from dual 280/770-4GB should hold up pretty well.
Some people just need to loose the idea of "must have max ultra super-dooper settings on EVERYTHING!!!!!" and get their heads around the resolution being pumped into a sub 30" screen basically wipes out the immediate need for masses of AA.
Lads i ordered a FG2421 i couldn't resist at £369 but i have a HD4600 at the minute as i did a clearout, And i have funds and a disdain for multi-gpu's. What would i need to keep minimums over 100 at 99% of times Ultra 1080p?
Am i going to have to hedge my bets on Tonga in August and Mantle or is there a chance the 880Ti and the new Nvidia drivers might just nail it? What do you get on say 780Ti so i could gauge how far off i am going to be with a 30% increase in power if indeed they pull it off on 28nm. My old 580 could pull around 25fps so i am going to guess i am going to need 4x that and around 3GB of vram as a minimum.

Tbh I would go for a single 290/780-6gb now then see how the new cards shape up if and when they arrive.
100fps+ on a single card should be easy done, you may need to shuffle around the odd setting, but nothing that should really harm the eye candy.

I have learned patience so i can wait i am not fond of the 290x or 780 to be fair it is very late now in the lifecycle for £400 and £550 and then have to compete on the MM with cleaned up cards a lot older.
Im curious as to the minimums in heavy action with two though, I reckon if i can chop 30% off whatever people get i could judge maybe if it is even worth waiting. Or as you say look for a cheap 290X somewhere and hold out for 16nm.

A cheap 2nd hand7970/280x would also be ok options until next gen hits
