The 4K at 60fps club

I recently got a 4k monitor.

Though given my rig is a bit outdated these days, I doubt if I'll be able to maintain a solid 60 FPS.

If tests from tweakers.net are to be believed, Titan X (Pascal) averages 58.2fps at 4K in DA:I on ultras without AA.
So 1080 Ti may be enough if ME:A performance is similar to DA:I, if 1080 Ti comes out around the same time ME:A comes out or soon after, and 1080 Ti performance is close to Titan X Pascal. That's a lot of ifs and guesswork for a product that hasn't been officially announced by Nvidia, it certainly isn't a sure bet. 1080s in SLI should be enough but SLI support is so shoddy these days I can't recommend it.

My old PC is long overdue for a new replacement but AMD is very late to the party, both with ryzen processors and vega videocards. I think my best move should be to wait until AMD finally shows their offerings and see where that leaves the Intel/Nvidia competition. On the upside, by that time Bioware will probably have some DLCs and patches out for better playing experience.

true true. Even the demo on hdr and 4k looked eyegougingly good

I'm in the same line of thinking. I haven't really done much with my PC since I built it in the autumn of 2012, so even though it still runs all the games I care about at over 90fps on max settings at 1080p, it's long overdue for an upgrade as it struggles to maintain 45-50 in modern titles on the same settings. Just have to wait and see if I want to piecemeal it together over the next few months, or save up for a whole new system when Ryzen+Vega hits the market. Even if AMD can't outperform Nvidia or Intel, they may be able to undercut the price enough to force those two to stop overcharging for their hardware.

Just looking at those fps numbers there (which are way too low), I'm all but certain they listed the wrong game there (or attached benchmarks from the wrong game). My dual 680s get near those Titan Pascal numbers...

I wish. I'd probably have to drop well over $2k AUD to set that up. New card(s), new mobo, new PSU, more ram and of course, a new monitor.

I've just forked out for an RX 470 and also an aftermarket cooler so I can OC my i5-3570k. As long as I can play 1080p on high-ultra at decent frames then I will be happy!

Sure it is, that's why the fastest single card at that time - 980, (980ti came out 6 months after DA:I release) was rocking cinematic 25FPS source


2 years and 11 patches later, still no single card exists that can run it at 4k/60FPS, and not because it looks amazing. Very optimized my arse. If you want to see amazing visuals with good optimization, check out Vanishing of Ethan Carter

I would be happy with locked 30fps at 4K with HDR, not sure if my rig could handle it though....any thoughts?

i7 3770K @ 4Ghz OC
16GB DDR3 1600mhz
GTX G1 Gaming 980 Factory OC
Game to be installed on SSD

My thinking is, locked at 30fps at full 4K with HDR booming on my KS8000 55" 4K HDR TV.....that would just be splendid as fuck really



Wasn't DA:I gimped on Nvidia slightly due to AMD/Mantle?  

Andromeda is Nvidia backed I'm pretty sure..... so I'm thinking the optimisation for it could be even better than DA:I..(wishful thinking by me, obviously lol).  I'm happy to dial a few settings down to get true 4K resolution with HDR at locked 30fps for sure: AA/Shadows to medium hopefully would do the trick...hard to say till proper PC specs are out though.

Just trying to set up reasonable expectations for people in this thread
All console versions will be capped at 30FPS. PS4 Pro will run at 1800p upscaled, no info for Xbox Scorpio of course since it's not out but I am guessing below 4K native also. Let's be real here, no way a console with a total cost lower than 4K-capable video card alone can put out 4K, even at below ultra settings.

Meanwhile PC will have 4K/60FPS but only on absolute top configs. 1080 Ti as I posted above may not be enough. Two 1080s in SLI should be enough but not recommended, many new games don't support SLI day one, some never even add it later at all. Otherwise the wait for next gen Vega/Volta/Pascal refresh cards, unfortunately.

Hmmm. Is that really true? Dont get me wrong, I understand little to nothing about all this technical stuff, but I'm playing Inquisition atm in 4K, running at 60fps. And dont even have a gtx1080.

My rig is i7 6700k, gtx 1070, 16GB RAM and 4K monitor. All my visual options ingame are on ULTRA, 4k resolution. I did the console command to check fps (also added the command line to Origin to lock cutscenes at 60fps), and my fps is steady at 60, both in cutscenes as well as in heavy combat situations (lots of mobs and spells flying around). So, I ask, am I completely oblivious to what 4k/60fps is, or are you exagerating  when you say no card exists that can do that???

So my plan is 4k. I'm a couch gamer with roccat sova keyboard for optimal gaming on the 65".

Just upgraded my rig to broadwell 6800k CPU, 16gb of ddr4 on 3200mhz, pcie Samsung pro pcie ssd, only thing I'm missing is the damn 1080ti. If that won't release on time, I'll just get that titan x... Ugh
