whats your budget?

not more than 2400 $ i guess, but am not in the US, so i have to pay Air shipment cost which might cost around 260$
btw that budget is only for the system screen, mouse and keyboard not included.

but i still want to know if THIS setup can run 4K or not ?

 

[bmoretoga]

with that budget you can go 4690k and sli 980's.and youll have awesome 4k performance

With AAA games from 2013, it'll manage, with 2014 AAA's however it'll be iffy.

so should i just get one gtx 970 and stick with full HD till the next generation of video cards is released ?

 

[chenw]

I'd say it'll need to be a couple of generations before game optimisation actually starts to take on 4k (currently only a minority uses it, some games have UI issues at that resolution, one of the primary deal breakers). By then 4k monitors and capable GPUs would be more mainstream.

However this is entirely my opinion, I have not seen a 4k so I do not know how the increase PPI of a 4k monitor look in real, I had only tried 4k resolution via DSR to take a Sneak Peak at it. I was far from impressed by 4k due to the mention UI scale issue, the performance hit was another.

 

[Alkhattabi]

Well am going to say that i changed my mind, am not going for 4K not now at least till it get optimized

so they new question will the setup run 2K smoothly ? does GTX 970 or should i go for GTX 980 have enough power to give me smooth fps on the new games ?

(changed the title to ask about 2K rather than 4K)

 

[Alkhattabi]

Can anyone help ?

 

[chenw]

970 is enough for 2k.

What is 2k? Why not SLI 970s for 1440p ultra with that build?

 

[Alkhattabi]

^ as far as i know 2k is 1440P, and there are 3 resulotions
1080p (full hd), 1440p (2k) and 4k (ultra hd), plz correct me if am wrong

 

[-Lone-]

There's 4 8k (SHV) 😀

 

[chenw]

actually 2k is 1080p, the 'k' refers to the horizontal number of pixels of the screen.

1440p is 2.5k then, lol. Let's just call it 3k
