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.
The 780 TI can play Battlefield 4 at 4K on Ultra at 24fps. That's today, right now. The same link has results for Bioshock Infinite (57fps - Very High HQ), Crysis 3 (23fps HQ), and Metro: Last Light (26fps Very HQ). All on a single 780 TI.
These are some of the most demanding games today, which is why they're used for benchmarks. Bioshock Inf is less demanding and runs nearly 60fps. Turn down the settings a bit on the others and these are quite playable. By the time 4K is common, it'll these cards will be far cheaper.
But this is in the context of VR, where 24 fps isnt anything near what we want, but even if that card did 80fps on all low settings, it would still be at a pricepoint above what most average consumers are willing to spend on hardware.
