So.. As said in the title. I'm currently sitting on this model right here.

I'm planning on buying one of those fancy 4k TV the whole world is bragging about.. If I get another Asus 750 Ti OC and do a SLI/Crossfire, Would it be able to run 4k gaming while obtaining 60 fps Still? Kind of new to the whole SLI thing so really appreciate the answers! IF it does, how long would I be able to sit on those 2 GPU more or less (Since the future is unknown) before having to "upgrade." Thanks once again for any future reponses :)

The rest of my set up is pretty up to date incase any of you are wondering:

CPU: i7 4790K
RAM:16GB
PSU:1k
1TB HDD
256 SSD
MB:Asus z-97A

1) First of all, I do not recommend a 4K HDTV right now.

More pixels does not necessarily mean it looks better. In fact, due to the extra cost a 4K HDTV screen it may be inferior to a similarly priced 1080p HDTV which does a better job of image quality.

2) As said even a 980Ti struggles with 4K.

*If you still want to play games on an HDTV with a lower-end computer, whether it's 4K or not you should hookup the computer as 1080p. Yes, that defeats the purpose of a 4K HDTV but if you can't drive games at 4K there's no point in having it anyway for games.

3) SLI is problematic. The best single GPU is the way to go like a single GTX970 or whatever (and still I'd go 4K).

4) GAMING MODES (input latency) is another issue for HDTV's as is...

the gtx 750ti already struggles at maintaining 60fps in 1080p. let alone 4k

at least for 4k you will need at least a r9 380 for 30 fps at mid settings in games
r9 390/970 for 45-50 fps in high settings 4k
and r9 fury x or gtx 980ti for 60fps in games at 4k

so if you are planing to buy a 4k panel with a gtx 750ti then forget to game on it. The gtx750ti doesn't support SLI

4) GAMING MODES (input latency) is another issue for HDTV's as is the ability to easily change the resolution (it's usually best to simply stick with 1080p for everything.

Other:
Here's one of the biggest PROBLEMS with 4K... if you're sitting close enough to appreciate 4K then everything that's not great quality looks CRAPPY, and if you sit back far enough to make lower quality video look better than 4K is arguably POINTLESS.

The calculation is supposedly that at 1.5X the diagonal (sitting 6 feet from 48" HDTV) a 4K image won't look better than the same image at 1080p (4x less pixels).

So apparently you have to be sitting at least 1.3X the diagonal to start appreciating the quality difference.

This isn't about your video card, as its been stated above several times. Think twice before you buy a 4k TV, I have one, bought it when they were still pretty fresh. Had dreams of gaming at beautiful 4k, money is no object GPU's the whole works. It's amazing as a TV, non 4k content up-scaled looks great, native 4k content is coming around more and more, hell even cell phones can record 4k now.

As a computer monitor it sucks... majorly. With HDMI 2.0 GPU's, HDMI 2.0 cable, and a TV that supports HDMI 2.0, there is terrible screen tearing far below 60FPS, most games flicker using SLI and full screen, as per tons of posts on Nvidia forums, and as above doesn't look any better than my 1440 monitor with all the bells and whistles. besides that, alot of programs and windows itself doesn't deal with scaling very well, so sitting back at normal TV distance @ 4k is impossible to read some stuff, you can change the DPI for text but that makes everything look pixilated defeating the purpose of 4k, and most web pages at this point aren't designed for 4k so you get a ton of white space around the edges, or zoom in 1000%.

If you are definitely sold on 4k, You would need 2 980ti or TitanX SLI, not personally sure what AMD equivalents are, I have the TitanX's, and get a good quality 4k monitor, not a TV yet for gaming.
