As you can see, actually getting the card to run at 4K would be hard, or even impossible.

The following is taken from here: http://graphics-cards-review.toptenreviews.com/ati-radeon-hd-5970-details.html

Integrated dual-link DVI output with HDCP



Max resolution: 2560x1600

Integrated DisplayPort output

Max resolution: 2560x1600

Integrated HDMI 1.3 output with Deep Color, xvYCC wide gamut support, and high bit-rate audio

Max resolution: 1920x1200

Integrated VGA output

Max resolution: 2048x1536

Also, the card is old and I doubt it would run any good-looking game on 4K if could actually run the resolution. Apart from that, it would get really hot at any high resolutions. Not to mention running 4K at 60hz, which, with that card, truly is IMPOSSIBLE.

You mean at 30Hz?

I'm not sure how to check if it is running on 30hz or 60hz

Right click on desktop, go to the catalyst, desktop management, then desktop properties and it should show there and give you the option to choose which Hz.
