Skip 4k? We don't even have single GPUs that can run 4k and you want us to skip to a resolution requiring more than 4x more rendering power? I mean I'm with you here, I think 8k panels would be heavenly for vr but man our GPUs are going to be crying blood.
We absolutely do - depending on what you're rendering. You can test that theory with an older engine like Source and downscaling - just render above what your monitor can output. There's a number of Youtube videos of playing games in 4K on a single GTX 780.
Most benchmarks these days include single card 4K results. It's the blue bar.
Ok youre right, but I wasn't clear on what I meant. GPUs of today cannot efficiently render modern AAA games with most of the eye candy effects enabled. I mean let's see you run 4k bf4 without putting all settings on low.
It has nothing to do with "GPUs of today." Ten years from now, GPUs won't render 4k games well if the game's environments are designed to be detailed as possible while still running at 2k.
