Is my Graphiccard good enough for a 4k monitor?

[Oliver]

MSI R9 270X Gaming 2G, GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort

 

I want to buy a 4k Monitor but I am unsure if my Graphiccard can handle it.

 

I would use it to whatch films and gaming (not hardcore gaming though)

 

Thanks 

 

This is the monitor, I think the price is fair

I'm assuming benchmarks were done on ultra settings, but it doesn't say.

and remember about cpu ;-)

4k for gaming can be done without fps fails on GTX 980

Thank you!

No way this was ultra!!! I would expect that performance on low or medium. The new gtx 980ti barely gets those framerates on ultra with msaa.

You'll be able to power a 4k display fine for desktop and movies. As for gaming, you probably won't be able to do much past simple games (or AAA games on low) at 4k.

Ps, cpu doesn't do shit past an i5 in gaming performance. In rendering, that's a different story.

Oh and that's 1440p. Which is like... 2.5/4K

It should be fine.

I suggest 1440p, it's a big improvement over 720/1080 but it's small enough that gpu's get decent performance on them. But if you want 4k just for the productivity, you could just run your games at 1080p.

but I can run my rest of the computer (not gaming just my daily base/browsing the internet and so on) on best resolution (4k) ?

Correct. It'll drive that fine.

The games it tested were like 5 or 6 years old. I have no clue of the settings they were ran on as the article didn't say.

 

I don't know who benchmarks a game and plays on the lowest settings though.
