I hope they get 60hz nailed down for this. Nobody wants to play @ 30hz.

Holy megapixel mayhem, Batman! That was a good read. Thanks for posting.

I play close to that, 7680 x 1600. I'd love to get some 4K Displays sometime in the future to replace my aging 30" Panels.

I'll wait until they are around $1,000 each though. That Asus one looks good right now but $3,500 each is a bit much for three.

Yes they are a little out of reach for just about everyone. Let alone the rig you would need to run game at any sort of decent framerate.

Agreed. I would probably need to upgrade my Dual 780's to Tri-SLI Titans.

8000x8000 was eyefinty limit and DX9?

5x1P @ 10800x3840 <- Nvidea.

The problem is 5x1P is going to be 10 monitors as each 4k monitor needs two inputs and the screen acts like a 2x1P @1920x2160 each.

Screens are proper, but that's one raggedy ass build. Dirt 3 is far from a resource hog, I would imagine anything more intensive 3 x 7970' would struggle to hit 40 FPS.

Seiki has a new 39" 4k UHD 2160p out for $650 now on Tiger Direct. Looks like this normally sells for $700 -- currently on sale for $650. Heck, even Sears apparently sells it. Looks like China is trying to break the 1080p panel cartel by hitting them where it hurts with a pre-emptive price war. This panel is also the same one that is in the $600 Skyworth tv. Rumor has it the panel itself is worth about $400 if you can source it. Someone like Overlord needs to make a 60hz DP 1.2 board for this thing. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... CatId=4717

The ASUS 32" 4k UHD panel has DP on board but is $3500 each. Heck you could do 5x1P Seiki 39" for the price of one of those ASUS panels. I hope Catleap or some Korean manufacturer start knocking out displays with the same panel the ASUS uses soon.

I'm VERY tempted to get one of those Seiki 39" to play with. That 30hz port bandwidth limitation is making me squirm though. How short sighted can HDMI spec group be anyways? I'm not all that worried about buying a 4k UHD if it has 60hz DP 1.2 on board. It's room to grow into -- especially if you ever plan to humor 3x1L. At least with that pixel density you can turn down the anti-aliasing a bit to help counter the sheer pixel hammering the GPUs would get.
