I think waiting for the next generation of 4K monitors and GPUs will yield you better results since they will be especially optimized.Wow thats just like my machine (Except for motherboard and 3 GPU's ). I plan on finally getting a 4k Asus display this month once they are out to replace my eyefinity setup and just use a secondary 1080p display for other things. Want the desk space back and just feel like 3 monitors is no longer going to be my focus.
This was very cool!
Im going to wait and still take a peek at some up close looks of the Asus before I decide, but as far as GPU's go I already bought the 3 290X cards for the reason of eventually jumping up to either 1440p or a 4k screen. But at 649, its pricey but not to bad considering the quality and that its from Asus. Still a work and idea in progress but something I wanted to do.I think waiting for the next generation of 4K monitors and GPUs will yield you better results since they will be especially optimized.
Problem is the T.V market is really what pushes the next resolutions up to the public and to the consumer on what is considered "Good". 1440p and 1600p were completely skipped and in all honesty expensive as monitors but really nice for the gamer but not as a screen for a T.V. The T.V teams decided the next big thing would just be 4k and so did broadcasting/production companies and that's what we got.1440p/1600p should have been the next target. 4K is a huge jump in quadrupling pixels, but 2.5K is roughly only double the pixels. 60fps with 4x AA and all the eye candy is already awesome enough and should be the target specs for any mid-high end graphics card.
Maybe it's because such improvements are on a depreciating curve themselves? Difference between 800x600 on a 15" boxy CRT monitor (which reflects the window behind you) vs 1920x1080 on a 24" LED IPS screen is far greater than 1080p on a 24" vs 4k on a 28". There also comes a point where making the monitor too big is counter-intuitive, ie, uncomfortable to sit too close to in terms of ergonomics. So you sit further back at which point, half of that UHD effect is now wasted... Much of this is manufactured hype from TV / monitor manufacturers now they've saturated the market with 1080p devices looking to sell "the next big thing" (and there will always be one of those no matter what you buy)...It wasn't that long ago that people were saying the same thing about their 1600x1200 screens and before that their 1280x1024 displays. Nothing wrong really with being on the back side of this curve but it's a little surprising being a regular of a technology enthusiast site.
