Can my Computer run a 4k monitor (light gaming/video)

[Marcmichael]

Hi everyone i would just like to know if my pc can run a 4k monitor. It is an older pc and has a i5-2500K CPU and AMD HD 6900 series graphics card. (can't find its max resolution) Just for lighter gaming such as LoL/CS and video playback. Thanks

Yes, your AMD 6900 can run a 4K monitor as long as you use the latest Catalyst drivers. Unfortunately, you will not be able to attain playable frame rates in most of the newer games with a single 6900, though you should be okay with playing Counter Strike. My recommendation is to upgrade to a R9 290X or GTX970 if you plan to play games in 4K. For games demanding more GPU power, you may need to get two cards and run Crossfire or SLI.
