[QUOTE="Crawley, post: 227605, member: 2300"] The higher the resolution of your monitor the better video card you will need to play any games at that resolution. Right now even NVidia 980 Ti's will struggle to hit 60 fps on many games at 4k resolution at max settings. So I don't think video cards are quite ready yet to support those resolutions with a good performance. That said NVidia cards have something called DSR ([URL="http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/dsr/technology"]Dynamic Super Resolution[/URL]) which I use for a few games, including TPA. Basically it renders the game in the higher resolution and displays it in your monitors native resolution (also known as down sampling). So for TPA my native monitor resolution is 1920x1200 but I'm using DSR to render TPA at 2560x1440. It helps make the textures a bit sharper without a performance hit. If I go higher than that resolution with all the features at max I start seeing frame rate drops - this is on a NVidia gtx 780. But that DSR functionality just works great and with very little fuss. Some games it'll automatically show the higher resolution options without doing anything. Ones that don't you just turn that option on for the game in the NVidia Control Panel and then it's there. You can also apply this to your desktop resolution. So you can display up to a 4K resolution if you wish. This gives you lots of room to work with but the icons are pretty small - so for that reason I don't do it. I have not tried DSR with video playback yet so not sure how that works. [/QUOTE]
