Can your box handle 4K?

I don't know if people think about this but I do.

I recently built a desktop for all streaming. Only streaming really since I am trying to make it my job. It may not seem like it, but my box has an XFX R7 250X Core Edition. It has 2GB GDDR3 which doesn't sound great, but honestly it's what I could afford. Why did I get this card? Updated GCN, TrueAudio, Mantle, and 4K!

Obviously it's not the optimal card but it was well worth it. over 100 FPS in all the games I play :P

How about you guys?

While I still think my 4770 (non K) and 980 are fairly formidable as of today, you won't see me running anything 4k. While I do well at 1440, I just don't have the graphical horsepower. Maybe one day!

Glad your happy with your build, best of luck building your channel and brand.

My PC might be able to handle CS:GO at 4K, since I don't have much VRAM. I recently picked up GTX 950 and it feels good.

XD Well the idea was that not anyone can buy a 980, like me. But I am curious as I wouldn't normally think an R7 card would be able to do 4k. Thats all.

4K at what frame rate though.
Factor in streaming too.
Sure you're not just streaming your desktop or something

That seems like a stupid question. There is a standard for FPS.

Streaming is limited at a framerate at broadcast anyways. This isn't a guide, it's an interest pool.

Streaming, as far as i know, is mainly bottlenecked by the CPU. Am i right?
So my 270X could run 4K on the games i am playing (if any of them f*king supported it), but streaming in 4K, man, you would need a beefy CPU for encoding...

Yeah man, my setup can do .4K... Maybe even 2/4K

Obviously my post was just an inconvenience to everyone on the face of the planet oh well

I've not said that but there's no way you're going to get an enjoyable 4k experience on that card and when I asked about frame rates you said some uber weird shit

I said what anyone would say. 30 FPS is a minimum and 60 would be average. Obviously it wouldn't handle it at 60 FPS but that would have more to do with the game used or what game you're testing/app testing (like video editing or something). That's all. I think it's kind of a stupid question when there is a set standard for that kind of thing.

Frame rates in games is what he's asking about. It's not going to hold up fantastically in like GTAV and such.

Yeah. On my card I don't expect it to hold up like a 390 or a 980. Its possible for me, but not practical. I was just curious as to who had the capability, just the same as the "What is your OS" thread. However it backfired from an interest to "They must be a troll"

But you didn't say that, all you said was there's a standard (what standard?).
Thing is you're saying you've got a card for 4k and that you get 100 FPS in games you play (minesweeper?)
This from a card which averages about 45FPS at 1080......

in what?
You're just asking "what FPS are you getting?".
In what?! It's going to vary depending what you're doing with it, obviously. Jeez.

In that apparently

I miswrote. I think this thread should just be deleted at this point.

Edit the OP to clarify what games you're playing and what FPS you get in them at that res so no-one else starts flipping out thinking "yea rite he's playing GTA V at 100FPS at 4K with that card".

lel no just made no sense
