Hermits are paying $549 for 4K gaming.

AMD's 290x allows 4k gaming where MS's Xbox allows only 720p for just $50 difference.

Something is seriously wrong here if you ask me.

Discuss folks.

You forgot, you will need a beefy CPU and lots of RAM for it. Not to mention a large PSU and a 4K monitor.

Does that 290X ship with the Kinect 2.0?

Didn't think so

GPU Vs. Entire system...

What a f*cking dumb thread.

Oh sweet, they invented graphics cards that work on their own now?

This.

Also, IIRC the latest benchmarks peg the 290X at around 30-40FPS. That is unplayable.

@lundy86_4: pcga

no one is going to be doing real 4k gaming until at least 2016 at the earliest. any other claims, to the contrary, are simply not realistic.

No

Why don't people get reprimanded for posting absolute troll bait rubbish like this?

Not if you use a controller, still not really worth it though, you'd just end up playing in a lower res half the time.

Wat? Expensive, but plausible.

Dat 4K monitor price.

People have been gaming on a lot higher resolution than 4K with multiple monitors for a very long time. Now it simply means that people are going to start playing games with multiple 4K monitors.
