ive seen people bench CPUs, GPUs, and ive never seen someone maintain fps above 60 fps, but i guess with the right hardware, its possible?, im here to ask if this is a hoax or if it is possible.

there is a youtube channel that displays games in 4K and 8K resolutions above 60 fps, maxed settings, i think its fishy, but on the other hand, its got my attention.

here is the posted build that was found in the description of a video showing watch dogs @ 8K avg 100 fps....

"
I used Morozilla PC v2.0 Extreme Edition that was built by me.

CPU: i7 4930k @ overclocked 4.2Ghz all 12 threads. Stable on Corsair h100i cpu water cooling
Mobo: EVGA X79 DARK.
Memory:64 Gb of DDR3 by Crucial cas 9 Elite series 1833 Mhz
Video: 4x Geforce GTX Titan X SLI(36 Gb of GDDR5 total) by EVGA and SC edition (EVGA Super Clocked series edition) stock on air cooling.
Hard disk: 96 TB of mixed mechanical and 5 TB of SSD (2x 480 Gb Crucial M500, 4x 1Tb of Samsung 850 Pro(love them my fastest storage) in Raid 0 for performance and 4x speed vs regular SSD).
Windows 10 Pro 64bit.
Case: Corsair 900D case
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 Watts P2 80 Plus Platinum
Nvidia Geforce video driver: 368.81(release: July 14, 2016)

will this do it?, and i cant remember, but am i allowed to post a link to other sites like youtube to show the video?

8K average 100FPS? No, just no. Maybe (and that's a big maybe) at 4K you could get around 100FPS. The support for this GPU configuration would also be horrendous as very few games support 4-way SLI. I'm also pretty sure the person that made the video isn't very tech-savvy as he says "36GB of GDDR5 total" for the 4x Titan X when VRAM doesn't stack (so you get 12GB whether you have 1 or 999999 Titan Xs).

Overall, for 60+ FPS at 4K you'll want at least one of Nvidia's upcoming Titan X cards (this time they just named it "Titan X" instead of the last-gen "GeForce Titan X"). For even higher than that, you're looking at buying two of them.

This person is also bad at math. Even if the VRAM did stack 4 x 12 is 48, not 36.
 
Don't worry man, the upcoming Pascal Titan X (not to be confused with the Maxwell Titan X) will be capable of 60+ FPS at 4K (100+ with 2-way SLI) and with 2-way SLI might even manage 60FPS at 8K (however there's no 8K displays yet and with a 4K display upscaling is really pointless). My only disappointment with that card is that Nvidia kinda screwed up by going with GDDR5X instead of the HBM2 that we expected. AMD will be releasing high end cards with HBM2 though so we'll see how those run.
 


yeah i hope nvidia lets the titan XP at least support 2 way or more, and yeah not really any 8K displays out there, might need very special request to LG or samsung, might cost an arm and a leg though.

ive seen info on nvidia's "volta", which i guess will have stacked DRAM(idk if thats HBM2), but i also seen info regarding volta release, 2017 for super computers and 2018 for consumer, but is pretty damn early to know for sure, but yeah, HBM2, 16GB memory, @ 2GHz or higher would be the goal i set for a future GPU i guess, CUDA cores i guess 5k lol(idk).
 
Yeah Volta will likely be the first to be 8k-capable. Not purely because of performance (2 Titan XPs could handle 8K upscaled) but because of memory. At 4K, Nvidia may get away with a small memory bus thanks to GDDR5X, but at 8K they'd either need 512-bit memory bus like earlier AMD cards or just straight up go to HBM2.
