Sweet jesus. That's $3k worth of monitors alone, $4k for the video cards, $1k for the SSD's.

Personally though, I'm satisfied with a single 27" for gaming. Any bigger and it overfills my field of vision.

OMG! I watch youtube video of someone playing the game at 4K through 1200p screen! That is sooooo cool! What experience, what incredible details, colors and nothing slows down even on my hardware with no Titan let alone 4. OMG, the only change is resolution and i can truly see it omg! Youtube gaming is the best.

4 titans on 4k monitor? anyone in there right mind knows that just a waste, game is CPU bound anyways, having 4 of them is pointless for anything untill a time comes were CPU can not hinder 4 titans then its viable. but at moment they all going different route of less power and stuff and not so much more performance

Just did a (not so quick) calculation of main hardware costs there for this kit:

Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79 motherboard £316.55,
2 x 1200W Corsair Digital AX1200i Full Modular power supplies £499.49,
Intel Core i7-3970X Extreme CPU £824.60,
32GB (8x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Dominator Platinum £1057.49,
4 x 6GB EVGA GTX Titan Hydro Copper £3982.99,
31.5" Asus PQ321QE 4K UHD LED IGZO Monitor £2985.97

...comes to £9679.68 (EURO11,428.70)

This isn't even enough to build full PC!
Left out case, harddrives, peripherals, water cooling gear etc which would probably add at least another £1000 to this...

Its not 3x 4K monitors its 3 monitors which equate to a bit over 4K.

I would love to know why you think that anything is CPU bound at such an insane resolution. That makes no sense at all.

Uninformed? lol. Keep giving your money to EA for crap titles and don't demand they push technology to meet the PC market.

All I'm asking for is a game made for PC and not an Xbox.

I'm tired of uninspired sequel garbage and quite frankly, EA is a garbage company that makes the same game over and over and over and over and over (and in addition, they simply do not take care of their customers).

BUT they have DLC for you to buy! and more DLC for you to buy! and next year, they will put a new number on the same game and charge you for it again!

Comments like chumly's remind me of a game informer article

Gamers have it so good and yet are the biggest complainers in the world...
BF4 will be a great game....

People assume that every game is suppose to be groundbreaking... im sorry, but compare BF4 compared to the crap hollywood and music industry are making... BF4 is more innovative and more entertaining

Crysis 3 was significantly more demanding on the GPU than the BF4 beta and looked much better as well, technically (some people of course will like the aesthetic of BF4 better).

So; next year will we get to see 4K 3D using a new set of next gen top end freshly released models @ 4800 x 2560?

I would like to see some glasses-free 3D 4K monitors; by Toshiba os something; and I don`t really give a toss about large viewing angles because (silly me) I actually sit IN- FRONT of my monitor (and I dont really want anyone watching in from the neighbours house at 178degree planes).

Easily done; as `Where there is a will, there is a way` (if you have the imagination and control).
