Help:Can I run 4K at all?

[Jwsavage]

Hi I got my new Gaming PC for Christmas and I want to know if I can run 4K games at all.

My RAM is 16.0G (14.9 useable)
My CPU is AMD A10-7870K Radeon R7,12 Compute cores 4C+8G 3.90GHz
My windows version is windows 10
My system type is 64 bit
My GPU is AMD Radeon R7
so that's all I can find sorry but please let me know if I can run 4K.

No, on 1080 you'll probably get 30-70 fps in most games depending on settings. 4k however..... you'll be lucky to get 5fps

Even at 1080p you will struggle. The R7 range aren't really for high end gaming and that cpu is for casual minimal demanding games/desktop work.

Hi thanks for the answer which do i have to get to be 4k compatible? intel cpu or geforce titan x or whatever?

So what your saying is my GPU isn't a gaming GPU?

 

[polishka97]

It's actually not a GPU but an APU. It's a CPU with some GPU cores. To get a reasonable 4k experience you'd probably wont to go for a Fury X, 980ti or one of the newer GPUs - 1070 or 1080.

^ for true 4k at good settings you need a completely new pc with a i7 and gtx1080. In all honesty. Why are you aiming for 4k?

because im a youtuber wanting to be good at pc gaming but cant really becasue of fps lag so if i get a 4k whatever i can run smooth lag free videos get what im saying? also 4k looks awesome who wouldnt want 4k?

I only ask as you are about $1200 dollars away from proper 4k not including monitor. If you are wanting to smoothly record in 4k you are looking at a big outlay over what you have. But yea, 4k is awesome

 

[polishka97]

Unless you have a ton of money to spend on a 4k system, you're far from having a decent 4k experience. If you want smooth games without fps drops spend money on a mid range system that will set you off on a good start. I would consider getting an i5 CPU and possibly a 1060. That will let you play games maxed out at 1080 with a constant 60fps. Butter smooth experience in full HD and you don't have to take out a bank loan

OH thanks but I didn't mean I wanted to record in 4k tho I was to record 1080p videos with high fps

Where does the 4k come in? Just watching? Any new gpu will do that provided you have a 4k display

oh sorry im saying i want to have 4k so i can record youtube videos in 1080p better

I am not sure you understand what 4k means. It is the name given to display resolution of 3840x2160 generally. 1080p is a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.

I am trying to understand, but how do you think 4k will help you record 1080p better? Watching 1080p content on a 4k screen is of course possible, although looks a bit odd in my experience. Actually driving a game at 4k and recording at 1080 will require some serious horsepower.

no i understand perfectly i want a 4K GPU SO I CAN RECORD 1080P VIDEOS MORE FPS AND i wont sry caps play the game while recording in 4k i just wanna be able to play 1080p lots of fps and record in 1080p 1920 x 1080

Right ok well the term '4k gpu' doesn't really exist you see. Anyway, recording is also heavy on the cpu. If you want crazy fps at 1080 and be able to record you need a new pc. That apu won't cut it.

APU?

 

[burgessanthony]

AMD A10 is an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit)...which is like a CPU and GPU in one chip. The CPU part is quite weak however. When I record on my CPU in demanding games at 1080p I have seen jumps of 20% usage.

You will need a new build, something like an i5 6600k and a gtx1070 if you want crazy 1080p FPS and the ability to smoothly record without dropping frames. I don't know exactly, as you have really exaplined what you do or want.

I see thanks im thinking of getting the titan x and a intel xeon cpu also can you try to answer my other question? thanks
