I have been running >4K resolution for many years now and so far, I have been doing gameplay videos at 4K resolution @ 30FPS - something that YouTube still supports.

Only recently was I able to record solid gameplay in 4K @ 60FPS and boy is it a treat!

Of course, YouTube only supports 1080P @ 60FPS but I wanted to share with you a couple of videos that are in true 4K (not upscaled) @ 60FPS.

1.) Battlefield 4 Final Stand DLC - Operation Whiteout: BF4 Final Stand DLC 4K60fps

2.) Batman Arkham Origins: Batman Arkham Origins 4K60fps

Would love to get some feedback on the videos!


*To view the full 4K Video @ 60FPS, download it at the link and enjoy!

Baasha did you play Wolfenstein TNO? Curious if your rig can run it @ 4k/60fps.

Sorry just saw this now.

I got Wolfenstein but the damn thing doesn't work for me w/ SLI. I had reinstall the OS etc. so I never got around to installing the game again. Does it work w/ SLI now?

What I'm wondering is...how can we see the benefit of 4k without a 4k display to view them on? Even when I use DSR it's not as good as a native resolution.

the benefits of 4k at 1080p are fairly straight forward.

4k has 4x as many pixels as 1080p, when you downsize, you average 4 pixels into a single pixel.
Any noise or incorrectness/pixel is 1/4th of the result, instead of the whole result.
Say you have, in 1080p, a single pixel of noise.
And in a 4k video, you also have a single pixel of noise
The pixel in the 4k, is 1/4th as significant, and as such, doesn't have as great an effect.
So when you downsize (average), those 4 pixels become one, and that pixel is 1/4th noise, instead of entirely noise
This is why, even though both videos have the same number of pixels
the one downsized from 4k will appear sharper

I'm tempted to download and view one of these videos on my macbook to see how it would look on the retina display

I can vouch and say that once I've went to 4k I haven't went back. 4 Titans (all purchased used) have been the sweet spot for me and 4k performance. Thanks OP for sharing the videos!
