I was wondering if a Asus Matrinx Platinum HD 7970 can run the resolution of 4k?

Obviously as long the monitor and everything else support it.

I googled for a bit and I saw on benchmarks that nearly no card had over 30 fps on 4k. I guess it will take some time for 4k to be the norm. How many years will it take until graphic cards come out that can handle 4k?

But if you drop as much money on the GPUs as you do on a 4k monitor you'll get decent frames :p

I agree... if you are looking to drop $3500 on a 4k monitor right now, the bare minimum for graphics that you should have is probably 780 SLI.

That said, a single 7970 will do just fine at 4k resolution, just be prepared to play most games on low-medium settings to get good framerates.
