Philips announces 27-inch monitor equipped with Nvidia G-Sync technology

You get min framerates of around 45 fps with a 290x (admittedly on Ultra preset settings) so for gaming in the heat of battle that is running pretty low. I call anything below 40 "unplayable". Synthetic benchmarks are also different to a 64-player server load. Not sure what it would look like there (better or worse?).

Synthetic Benchmarks like 3D Mark are harder to run on my 780 at 1440p than a 64 player BF4 at Ultra (No AA though, but at this resolution, it's less noticeable anyway).

Thing is, 45fps with a G-Sync screen should feel absolutely fine, from everyone who's tried it, it feels like your at 60fps still!

I was actually referring to a synthetic BF4 benchmark which I'm not sure how it performs compared to playing 64-player servers. Hopefully it is pretty representative of the hardware load.

G-Sync sounds like it is handy to step up the effective perf of cards at least. If we are going to see 4k and 8k single GPU capable video cards anytime soon, performance is going to have to jump pretty substantially.

Japan's NHK (a broadcaster over there) is looking at skipping even deploying 4k tech in favour of going straight to 8k which suggests the panel tech and affordability must be heading in the right direction pretty rapidly too. Wondering how that is going to pan out...

Really?! Bloody hell, Top end GPU's struggle with 1440p at times, 4K seems to require the minimum of 2 780's in SLI, imagine what you would need for 8K o.O

And Japan NHK is skipping 4k to go straight to 8K? GPU Manufacturers better up their games pretty substantially for sure, Otherwise rendering 3D objects on an 8K screen with a framerate that doesn't resemble a slide show is going to require a lot of money and power xD

If performance required scales linearly to pixel count, we won't be seeing a single GPU config anytime soon. Approx 6-8x the current performance?

Yep, pretty much xD still, I would rather devs concentrated on making game worlds bigger and better looking than optimizing for some ridiculous resolution like 8k Ignoring the actual games themselves, looking at just purely graphical fidelity, I would rather see devs concentrate making games like Half-Life 2 run smooth at 1080p than just Half-Life at 8k, If you get what I'm trying to say xD
