So, I know ME:A have native 4K resolution support.
What about DA:I? I have a very old computer (which barely runs the game on medium graphics with 1080p resolution), but I'm going to get a serious upgrade to play ME:A in 4K, and was wondering if there is support for 4K in DA:I? If so I might start a new game too!

It's certainly possible- and playable- I get around 35-40fps on 4k with everything set to ultra/fade-touched (no AA).
I have a i7 4790K, and 2 way SLi GTX980Ti's.
Just be sure to have good cooling...

So it's native? Excellent. Also yes - I'm going to make sure the computer is basically a freezer  I've been saving for this computer for a while now. I have over 2000$ already, and by the time I'll get it it'll be 3000$, so I plan to get at least gtx 1080 (I hope the 1080ti will come out by then!) and something VERY good for cooling  |

I thought MEA is *not* native 4K. It's some kind of fancy interpolated upscaling.

With a single GPU (even a beast like the 1080), you'll need some decent over clocking as well. Nothing massive, but 4K is super demanding, even at low settings for other adjustables. Regardless...enjoy! DA:I is a beautiful game at the really high resolutions. |

I do know that the 4K trailer they released some months back was deeply unimpressive. That could just be the 'they're not done yet' effect, though. |

I thought it was all platforms, but I guess I was over-generalizing. Looks like Witcher 3 already does native 4k -- although, who knows, right? Unless you talk to the engineer who did the graphics pipeline for a game, there's no telling what tricks and short-cuts are going on to reduce the pixel bandwidth and up the frame rate, since, you know, the internet catches fire if any game can't do 60fps minimum. |

Definitely. I'm sure there's all kinds of optimization/compression tricks to help mitigate the impact... |
