Well then it's not really 4k is it?
No, but I wouldn't mind if most games that couldn't hit a native 4k60 at that point have a choice between native 4k30 and checkboard 4k60 since graphics options are becoming a thing for console games.

I'm more impressed that they managed to get Forza Horizon 3 running without obnoxious stuttering.

It doesn't work like that. You need a powerful CPU to hit 60 fps unless you design the game for 60 fps in the first place. Dropping the resolution won't be enough in most cases.
Yeah, I don't think 8K will ever be mainstream. Diminishing returns and all that.
I would rather not chase the pixel throughput trying to get higher resolutions but put the research into shading, lighting, FX, more accurate hair and higher res textures/normal maps (which the author eludes to when playing with graphics settings).
Right now, every game appears to use the same techniques (i.e. making most of them look the same) consequently making it appear as if we hit a wall in developing more complex techniques.
Keep it. 1080p for life!
Satisfaction, gents. Have you ever tasted it?
DF should have tried a quad SLI 1080ti setup.
so how many 2DS screens is 8k?
Extremely impressive, but my couch + TV setup makes it really hard to justify getting even a 4k TV. Hell, 1440p downsampled to 1080p looks really good at my viewing distance.

Nvidia killed off 3 and 4 way SLI.
I can't help but feel that 4K is obsolete now.

But what about our OLED wallpaper of the future? That's the size of an entire wall, we'll need 8K for that for sure.Yeah, I don't think 8K will ever be mainstream. Diminishing returns and all that.
High framerate gaming is increasingly CPU-limited.The architecture after Volta will definitely be making 4K commonplace for PC gaming. By that time mid-enthusiast to top-enthusiast hardware will do 4K@120 without any issues. That will probably be around 2020.
Forza is a completely busted port.What was with the slowdown in Forza Horizon 3? Looked like what happens when emulation drops frames.
Forza is a completely busted port.
Not only does it appear to have problems when things slow down, it also has problems with cars jumping all over the place when the framerate gets too high as well.
I'm surprised that Richard said the engine was well-optimized in this video, considering that 90% of the game's CPU workload runs on a single CPU core.

High framerate gaming is increasingly CPU-limited.
Most game engines are still poorly multi-threaded and it really seems like a limit has been reached on single-threaded performance.
Single-threaded performance has improved very little in the last five years, while CPUs at the high-end have been getting more and more cores for significantly faster performance overall.
Intel have 24-core CPUs and AMD are due to release 32-core CPUs soon. Lots of games only really use two.
Even if your GPU is fast enough to do 8K60, that's no guarantee that you would be able to run a game at 4K120

The real question is: How high of a resolution they can run Quake 1 (or even quake3/Live) on this thing at 144 FPS.
Jumping from 4K to 8K is fucking ridiculous.
I feel so behind, I'm barely gonna start gaming at 2k (1440p) on my PC.
In truth, 1440p is really the best place to be, with the best balance of IQ and high framerate performance. 4K isn't worth it right now, for those of us who don't spend 1080/Ti money.
When an x070 level card can do 4K/60 with ease, will be the time to make that leap.
I personally won't make the jump, until 4K/120fps is possible.
Rather than pushing resolution wouldn't targeting things like ray-tracing be a better use of all that power?

Sorry but 1440p is a mariginal upgrade over 1080p at best. People seem to think 1440p is halfway between 1080p and 4k, when in reality it's nowhere close to that (fun fact: even ultrawide 1440p (3440x1440) is still closer to 1080p than it is to 4k in terms of pixel count). I hardly even notice an IQ difference between 1080p and 1440p cause they're both bad.
This reminds me of the time I tried to play a PSP game on my 1080p TV. Never again.

2560x1440 is 1.8x as many pixels as 1080p, which is very close to being halfway between 1080p and 4K.
3440x1440 is 2.4x as many pixels as 1080p, which makes it closer to 4K than 1080p.
