High End Graphics Cards Tested At 4K Resolutions
Vigile writes "One of the drawbacks to high end graphics has been the lack of low cost and massively-available displays with a resolution higher than 1920x1080. Yes, 25x16/25x14 panels are coming down in price, but it might be the influx of 4K monitors that makes a splash. PC Perspective purchased a 4K TV for under $1500 recently and set to benchmarking high end graphics cards from AMD and NVIDIA at 3840x2160. For under $500, the Radeon HD 7970 provided the best experience, though the GTX Titan was the most powerful single GPU option. At the $1000 price point the GeForce GTX 690 appears to be the card to beat with AMD's continuing problems on CrossFire scaling. PC Perspective has also included YouTube and downloadable 4K video files (~100 mbps) as well as screenshots, in addition to a full suite of benchmarks."
*Breaking News: Corrupt slashdot lusers infiltrate the moderation system and downmod my posts and tell me to stop waving around my "E-peen" when I use my copy-pasta about my 2gb HOSTS file, running in Ring 0! Now they have conscripted the help of the slashdot admin staff to modify the lameness filter to block my endless shit smeared screeds that I relentlessly pull out of my ass to amue the children, forcing me to LINK to previous screed postings instead!
Previous News: Someone named Jeremiah Cornelius keeps making fun of my *totally useful* posts about hosts files, and makes fun of me personally and insists that I am a troll! It's totally unfair and makes my panties get all sweaty and knotted! I simply can't understand why anyone would NOT want to read the shit splattered screed of text I forecully ram ram down slashdot's comments section dozens of times daily! It's informative and useful, honest! Slashdot admins just can't handle the amount of truthiness it contains! It's totally a conspiracy!
Previous news: Today marks the 500th day I have refused to take my lithium script. My friend the pink unicorn tells me to add my mental health provider to my phone company's block list, and to be his best friend forever. I like him a lot, because he told me about hosts files, and how to use petrified hot grits the right way. He says that all those companies on the internet are out to get me, and that I need to add them to my hosts file. I don't know how I ever managed to live without his helpful advice! I will share it with everyone, everywhere from now on!
