8K is when we can finally say goodbye to using AA, at least on smaller screens like this. I can't even imagine how this would look like in person.
8k 27" seems to me like overkill. Like having a 4k cell phone I bet it looks brilliant, but I also bet Rendering 4k + anti aliasing is less resource intensive than just 8k. By a lot
make it 40 inch and it's perfect. I bet we won't see anything like this in an affordable range until at least 2020
326PPI? Seems like the retina desktop age will be starting here in a few years. It'll be an exciting day when anti-aliasing and certain kinds of filtering are a thing of the past.

By a lot[/QUOTE] Tbh I see no reason to have a 4k phone unless you're really into phone VR. Otherwise, your eyes should never really ever be close enough to your screen to notice.

[QUOTE=kimr120;51162626]make it 40 inch and it's perfect. I bet we won't see anything like this in an affordable range until at least 2020[/QUOTE] current and past trends indicate that 8k will become affordable around 2018-19, if it goes the same path as 4k.
8K????? [I][B][U]8K??????[/U][/B][/I] Some games barely hit 60FPS on 4k and we're already going 8k goddamn What's next hovercars?

Otherwise it's pure waste of money and there's no justifying that Also when did the marketers start using HDR as a term for 10 bit color? What the hell?
[QUOTE=TheTalon;51162151]I bet it looks brilliant, but I also bet Rendering 4k + anti aliasing is less resource intensive than just 8k. By a lot[/QUOTE] Why the hell would anyone in their right mind use antialiasing on such a high pixel density monitor? I have a 1440p monitor that's the same size and I pretty much never use AA at all because it's barely noticeable in the vast majority of games.

What the hell?[/QUOTE] 1440p is quickly becoming the new norm. it's basicly 1080p at 144hz for 1440p 60hz. just as 1440p 144hz is 4k 60hz. give or take.
Speaking of 8K, Linus made this video. He used four 4K monitors and ran Crysis 3 at 50 FPS on medium settings on two Titan X cards. Tomb Raider was 20 FPS on medium. "Can it run Crysis" makes no sense any more since newer games are actually well optimized. At 10:25 look at how cute a 1080p window looks like :v: [video=youtube;211Vdi4oC9o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=211Vdi4oC9o[/video]

Why add made for mafia 3 to the title? A dig at how poorly optimized the game is?

I'd take it, I have a 4K monitor now that I use for photos, since pretty much every camera has been outputting greater than 8mp for over 10 years now they make excellent photo viewers. My main camera does 36mp and would have no problem at 8k, so this is an exciting development for people like me
[QUOTE=Fox Powers;51174802]32x....? I hope that wasn't MSAA......[/QUOTE] Afaik MSAA can't go that high. It's probably CSAA as I used to play Just Cause 2 at 32x CSAA, but I think it was removed from the newer Nvidia drivers.
120hz... but the game is locked at 30 fps. "uhhh"
[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;51175190]120hz... but the game is locked at 30 fps. "uhhh"[/QUOTE] It's not by the latest patch??

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;51175190]120hz... but the game is locked at 30 fps. "uhhh"[/QUOTE] unsure if it was actually made for mafia 3 since it is mentioned no where in the article. think a mod just edited to piss off people like with no man's sky edits.
