Gaming 4K Gaming, Does anyone do it?

[kaizerJ]

Does anyone use 4K(or higher) resolutions while gaming? Do you think 4k will be mainstream this generation?

 

[Originality]

Considering that 4K monitors/TVs are still too expensive to be worth it, and computer hardware isn't really strong enough yet to support it with "max" settings, I think it's too early.
Also, define "this generation".

4k maybe on ps5

 

[kaizerJ]

I define this "Generation" by the software used to make it, Unreal Engine 4, Cryengine 3. They support 4k, but that's not really a selling point.

That's too ambitious for a gaming console, perhaps 2k on PS5.

Not all games are 1080/60 on PS4 even.

It's more likely that Microsoft will go 2K on their next console. They'd call it XboxTwo!
Sony would prolly go 2.5K to say "we're like the XboxTwo, only point five better!"

I don't have a 4k monitor but I supersampled the resolution to 4k on pvz garden warfare just to see how it looks. Runs pretty good on a 290 tri x actually.

The day 4k gaming is mainstream we will all have 500 gb ssds which cost about 100 dollars

Frankly 4K isn't practical yet, but I imagine 4K will be widely in use by Christmas 2015.

End of the year? Just depends i personally havent seen a 4k tv of reasonable size under 1000$ plus i feel 4k will need more purposes than gaming before wide mainstream acceptance

I have a 4k monitor but right now there isn't really any reason to game on it.

What do you do with it then?

Normal computer stuff. I like the screen real estate over 1080p. It's really useful for programming also. The input lag is also a lot more noticeable on 4K right now so it isn't optimal for shooters.

Do you think it is because of the gpu or because of lack of 4k support?

Not so much the support but it's hard to change ~10 million pixels in a few milliseconds. More expensive 4K screen might be better though.

True but i guess for now I'll stick with 1080p for now or atoeat untill 4k is better for gaming

I do 3K on games that aren't demanding, like South Park or other mostly 2D games. (My monitor is 3K.)

A lot can change in a year.

You'd be surprised how much prices can drop with this type of tech. hell, people said the same thing about 1080p but that went mainstream within a year for sure.
