How far off is 4K 60FPS at an affordable price for a consumer?

Will we see a console that could do that by 2025?

4k is stupid. At times I feel like even 1080 is too big.

4K and 60 FPS at an affordable won't take off for another 20 years or so.

To do that already, you have to spend $2000+ to build a SLI capable computer. Not many people can afford that.

If you run your TV as a monitor you can really start to notice the difference at 55inches.

Considering average homeowner in the US has had their TV get bigger by 5 inches every 6 years it will matter eventually.

4K really matters in VR also, in 1080vr you scan still see the individual pixels. as your eyes are up against the screen
>>
>affordable

Shouldn't we first talk about when it will be possible? In the newest games top single cards struggle to keep 60fps at 1440p. Barely 30fps at 4k. Can actually some of the SLI/crossfire setups run say witcher 3 at stable 60fps in 4K?

Is there even a monitor that supports 5k? so pointless.

>>
>>322334329
depends on what you class as 'soon'

A pc that could run 4k VR is only a year or two away considering in 2016 we're getting a new generation of GPU architecture and doing away with the one Nvidia have been using for the last 3 years.

4SLI GTX 1080's could easily do it, but that's dumb ass and not at all friendly for the genpop.

You'd also need a headset that had 4k screens and that's not going to happen as nobody would buy it.

So as with a lot of things in the world, totally possible today, but not going to happen for another half decade

>i dont think 4k vr will happen anytime soon. you need to render 2 screens at 4k and that is quite a jump from one single screen

VR SLI allows for each screen to render to render on a separate graphics card, it's essentially the only case where SLI can achieve actually 1:1 scaling per card.

As someone who regularly games at 4K, I'd be pissed if next-gen consoles targeted it. That'd mean 8th gen visuals at a higher resolution and basically no other improvements. If they stick to 1080p, games will wind up virtually photorealistic and I'LL be able to play them at 4K on my high-end PC.
>>
I built a good gaming pc only to realise I don't like AAA games so graphics are not an issue for me. Oh well.
>>
>>322335554
Next gen console aiming for 1080 with a shit ton of new impressive effects etc would be the best case scenario as PC would get all that benefit plus 4k+ resolutions

If they went 4k aim it'd be shitty poor man's 4k and almost all games would skip on coming up with cool tech (like hairworks etc) because the consoles can't handle it.

My main gripe is what the Xbox 360 and PS4 did, it made 8 year long console cycles acceptable.

The PS4 and Xbone will be fucking obsolete by 2018 and need to die. But I guarantee they wont be replaced till 2020
>>
>>322333074
Pretty far thanks to nvidia and gameworks. Assuming you are talking about Ultra anyway, although since AA isn't as critical at 4k and most AAA games use shitty post processing gameworks bullcrap nowadays it might not be so far off

Although

>PS5 WITH STUNNING 1080P!!!

The Xbox 360 ads from TEN YEARS AGO were saying the same thing. The only way to get the babbies to upgrade to a new console would be 4k

>Next gen console aiming for 1080

No.

Do you not grasp how long it will be before the next gen? By the time the next gen hits, everyone will be buying 4K tvs from the sole virtual that 1080p TVs will be nearly phased out by then. No console is going to target 1080p in what is likely to be 2021

Even if this gen lasts 2 years less than the last one, it will be 2019 when the next gen comes. If it lasts the same it will be fucking 2021.

By then, you'll be hard pressed to even find a 1080p TV in a store. Everyone will have 4K by then just because it's the only TV they can buy at that point. Consoles coming out saying "Remember that resolution you haven't even seen in past 3 years? Our games run at that!" would be suicide. It would be like launching the PS4 promising 480p games.

I say Microshit and $ony will not put out a console till at least 2020. It's incredibly expensive to make and launch a new console (marketing included) and takes years for it to become profitable.

>>322336793

You realize if 4K becomes the console norm, games will look almost identical to the ones we have now, right? You can't quadruple resolution and expect miracles in terms of effects. From a marketing standpoint I can kind of get it but I think we'll be seeing 1080p again with photoreal visuals. Photorealism will be the marketing boost the consoles need.

I doubt even regular broadcast TV will be in 4K by 2021, they're still on 720p lmao

It's perfectly possible right now unless you are some casual who exclusively plays Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 shit and can't bear to use high settings instead of ultra.

Most people who buy expensive PCs only play old games and CS:GO anyway, which run perfectly fine at 4k even on a midrange card.

Most Gameworks effects run on any system, TXAA does not. It relies on some specific details of Kepler/Maxwell to work.

Not happening senpai, MSAA is brutally inefficient in modern deferred renderers and doesn't even work that well anymore. Engines keep moving more and more detail from actual geometry (which MSAA refines) to faking it in shaders (which MSAA doesn't touch).

Post-AA and downsampling are the only ways to go now.

There was an argument for this being a good thing back in the snes days as devs had to get creative to overcome the limitations of the console hardware and it lead to innovations that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

Same here of course, I was just giving an example. In fact many times I cap my framerate/hz to 50fps if the game is very demanding. 30 fps capped isn't all that bad either especially since most of those games I play with a controller/on a console. For me its only bothersome when it drops under 30, which every single fucking game I played on my PS3 had. Even psp ones like LCS dropped

Also only 60hz monitor so anything above 60fps is kinda useless, although I do feel the extra smoothness in mouse movement, Stalker COP and UT99 especially could feel it

A console will never target 60fps

You could have a PS5 release tomorrow with SLI Titan X's and they'd still push graphical fidelity over performance

As long as the vast majority don't own displays capable of a native 4k resolution they will stick to 1080p too

What, do you think that we've hit the limit for display resolutions and should just stop now? In a hundred years we should still be using 1080p@30Hz?

>>
>>322346352

No. The subject of that sentence is "your sentence." You're confused because you think the phrase "is a fragment" is automatically a subordinate clause. It isn't. It becomes a subordinate clause (and demands a comma) if you add in the pronoun, but the pronoun is neither needed nor implicit.

An implied subject is exactly what it sounds like. It is a situation where the subject is not stated but is still understood. It is most commonly found in imperative sentences (e.g. "get fucked, you ignorant twat.")

You don't know a goddamn thing about a goddamn thing.

Pascal should be a pretty big leap, but I see it being more of a upgrade for cheap 1440p at the $300 mark with 4K starting to be at least 60FPS on one card with the majority of games at the $600 mark. I would be surprised if we see affordable 4K until 2017-2018 or so.

Witcher 3, Metro: Last Light, GTAV are a few that have issues with 4K completely maxed out. If you turn off certain features, you can get it running at a much better framerate, but not completely maxed out.

And even then, with people with high refresh monitors many titles barely get above 70 maybe 80FPS at 4K. I am talking about absolutely destroying the game on a single card like the 980ti is doing for 1440p gaming right now.

Somebody who has actually used 4k and 1440p 144hz here

Refresh rates are infinitely more important than 4k. 1440p is a drastic increase to HD, but doesn't lose much to 4k, really minor difference. So all in all we should be supporting 1440p and 100+hz, not 4k. There's plenty of great 1440p 144hz monitors on themarket already, and a single 980ti can drive them on most newer games with med-high settings.

Just gameworks, and even then you could still OC the cards and get stable 60

The other I give you, granted GTAV has those nasty advanced settings that rape performance when maxed out

It's adapative vsync basically.

It synchronizes your frame-rate to your refresh rate so there's no screen tearing. Unlike vsync, it doesn't cost any performance and doesn't introduce input latency.

>>
>>322355969
The difference is there even when you get used to it. Motions look actually real for the first time. You get used to going back to worse resolution, but going back to worse refresh rate is difficult. And more importantly, higher refresh rates actually do give you a significant advantage in some games. Shooters and reaction gamed at least, quake and rocket league were very much better for me on higher FPS.
