4k is an expensive waste of time atm, wait for Maxwell before going 4k. Also wait for an IPS 4k monitor instead of an Inferior TN panel.
I'm waiting until an IPS 4K 60hz screen becomes available before jumping on 4K, hopefully around the same time when beefier GPU's start to appear..
1440P IPS 60hz is ok for now.

You can get 120hz IPS at 1440p, its called a Catleap and a Tempest Overlord which is what i have.1440P IPS 120hz would be outstanding! The only thing close on the horizon (from what I can gather) is the Asus ROG Swift, but given it is a 3D Vision, G-Sync monitor, I wouldn't be willing to pay the premium given my current set-up.
Seems rare these days to find a piece of tech that ticks all the boxes, without having to compromise on certain stuff.![]()
Well I find it awesome and even 1 card could cope well with 4K. As for inferior TN panel LMAO.... Have you seen them?
Ohhhh and welcome back v3teran![]()

Yes i have seen them, there is no way i would buy one over a 1440p 120hz IPS.
Who is V3teran?

Well I have compared a 120Hz 1080P high end Asus and a 1440P High end Dell IPS to the Samsung and couldn't go back to a lower resolution. I appreciate you like what you use but to dismiss the Samsung for being a TN panel is very harsh. Read my review and Linus also has a review and picks up on the same good and bad points as me.
As for the V3teran bit![]()
If im totally honest with you the difference between a TN and IPS are minimal apart from viewing angles which is pointless anyhow as how plays games from the side, nobody. However i just think that if your going for a 4k then it needs to be IPS and 120hz for me. Playing games at 60hz and 120hz is like a slideshow in difference. Even if 4k monitors were 120hz and IPS right now, we do not have the GPU power available for a fair price. Its ludicrously expensive for even an enthusiast, if 4k is going to take off in gaming then GPU's need to be more powerful than what we have on offer right now and a fair price.
Im not with you on V3teran, dont know what you mean.
So you still have a 690 and run on a X58 board? If so, that would be pointless for 4K but as you say you have ordered 3x Titan black, you will have the grunt to run 4K.
I have a Rampage 4 Extreme fully watercooled with 4930k running at 5ghz Ht-on 24/7 in a 900D case with the finest watercooling components that money can buy, the best!

Like i said though 4k is expensive and not worth it atm if you want good framerates.
What are good framerates? 20, 60, 100,??
Depends on the person, to me id want 4k at 120h IPS standard cause im running that standard now at 1440p. 60hz compared 120hz is like a slideshow, even moving around windows lol. Even 100hz is loads better than 60hz slideshow.
Not only that but the 4k displays now are crap compared to what will be out in 12 months or more.
4k at 120hz will need some serious Power for a constant 120fps in all games. We dont really have that power at a fair price but we will do when Maxwell surfaces.
