Have you tried Metro Last Light benchmark? I would love to see the results and some nice 4K pictures of that game.

If you have Thief(4) can you run that benchmark? It's a great looking game considering it's on UE3

Let me join the chorus in praising your build.

It is great for all of us that someone has 4 GTX Titan Black's plus 3-way 4K surround setup. It gives us a sense of where we stand, what is required for it to work.

One thing was very strange: why is the average FPS for BF4 higher on ultra than on high?

q: a lot of people complaining about how SLI won't let people scale to 4k. so how'd you do it?

thanks for the benchmarks. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

CLEARLY goes to shows there is NOT enough GPUs to push playable and enjoyable frame rate at 4k surround with ALL the eye candy. :'(



those of you that is wondering why BF4 high has better performance than BF4 ultra.

given frame dipping into the mid single digits and vram at max - BF4 ultra is obviously choking on vram.

Pay attention. In his BF4 benchmarks, ultra gives higher Fps than high, it should be the other way around

It's only the equivalent of powering twelve 1080P monitors. No biggie.

I all seriousness though, it's going to be a long while before there is a GPU setup that can actually power a display configuration like that. At least in terms of gaming.

Very nice! I'm Jealous, though not too jealous as I'm actually pretty content with my cheaper/older triple 1080p with 2x crossfired 6870 setup ....

you for real?

the answer is clear as day in post #32.


If you had read his post, you would see why he was confused. Ultra is giving higher avg FPS than High settings. While the Low of Ultra is only 5 because of limited Vram, it still Avgs' higher on ultra than High.

You must live in dark days :)

I did understood his point (avg fps), however it has nothing to do with my point (vram and mim fps).

for whatever reason in BF4. ultra no aa (which is actually "custom") always yield slightly better fps than "high".
why is it like this? ask dice.

as for my point. he completely missed it and tried to mixed both points together. apples and oranges.

The GPUs scale really well at this resolution. Some games, like Crysis 3, just demolish the GPUs since at this resolution AND "Very High" settings is asking quite a lot! ;)

For now, Max Payne 3 benchmark:

Benchmark #9

Max Payne 3

*COMING SOON!*

Max Payne 3 on 3 30" monitors w/ 4x GTX-680 Classified (4-Way SLI):
[VIDEO]<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5OBL_iadiAk?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/VIDEO]

Max Payne 3 is one of the best games EVER IMO. It plays wonderfully well maxed out in 4K Surround w/ 2xMSAA as you can see from the results!

The 4K video I have is incredible - shows the settings etc. in 4K Surround but for those of you w/ 4K monitors/TVs, you can watch TRUE 4K content!

More benches coming this weekend! :)

Stay tuned! ;)

Grats on the truly uber rig, but please remove some of the embedded images.

Chrome is using 1.5GB of ram just to render the page (which took close to 5 minutes to load at 12mbps). That's bordering on ridiculous.
