At 2160p60, the motion and effects would be even smoother. While this test showed me what DirectX 11 graphics can look like at amazingly high resolutions, I would love to experience this at 2160p60 (4K Ultra-HD display running at 60hz). I was impressed by how well this game ran well at 4K Ultra-HD resolution using a single graphics card which was also driving 3 other displays. Graphics Settings used for test running Max Payne 3 at 4K Ultra-HD resolution With the TV measuring 55” diagonally, and considering PPI, this TV is basically a 2×2 array of four 27.5” 1080p displays. If you look at this table (and do some simple calculations) you’ll find that 4K Ultra-HD has exactly 9 times the pixels as 720p, 4 times the pixels as 1080p, and 2.25 times the pixels as WQHD. To put this DirectX 11 gaming experience in perspective, let’s compare the number of pixels for the following displays: 720p, 1080p, WQHD, and 4K Ultra-HD: The result: this game holds up to 4K Ultra-HD resolution very well! Due to limitations with HDMI 1.4a, I was not able to test this game beyond 30 Hz display refresh, but in terms of detail and rendering things looked really amazing. Max Payne 3 running full screen on a 55” 4K Ultra-HD Toshiba TV After installing Max Payne 3 on this PC, it was time to experience PC gaming like never before. I already had a high-spec gaming PC setup running Windows 8 and an AMD 7970 connected to the 4K TV and three other displays. I decided I would try a DirectX 11 game that I had experience with on multiple machines with different display setups and resolutions: Max Payne 3. But I had some questions: Would PC games run well in 4K? Would details and textures scale to an ultra-high resolution display? What would the gameplay experience feel like on a 55” display? It was time to try it out. I recently got ahold of a 55” 4K Ultra-HD Toshiba TV (see related stories here, and here), and was curious to try some DirectX 11 games with this giant TV on Windows 8. While most people can’t buy these kinds of displays today, it’s just a matter of time before 4K displays are readily available. 4K Ultra-HD TVs and monitors have 2 times the horizontal and vertical resolution compared with 1080p.
This may sound like fantasy, but it’s not. Now imagine playing your favorite DirectX 11 games on this display.
Imagine if you could take your 24”-27” 1080p display and quadruple the surface area and pixel count. Anyone that’s into PC gaming knows that display and graphics are core to the gaming experience.
