Gaming with Titan XP 5k

4k = 8,294,400 pixels
5k = (5120x2880) 14,745,600
-----------------------------------
diff: about 75% more pixels

For a rough guestimate, you might probably get half the FPS of 4k benches. I'm sure you can find Titan XP and 4k benches somewhere.

Imo, thats not a worthwhile match of screen to GPU. You are not likely to see a much of a difference between a 27" 4k screen and a 5k one. Personally I would replace it with any 30"+ 4k screen. The 5k imac is just a waste of pixel and GPU power for such a relatively small screen.

i already have 3 imac not for gaming, it s "free" but TB3 connection can cut 10-15% of gpu performance 🙁


i only play paladins and overwatch, so i don t know if i can play em at 5k


edit: and imac cpu is a quad core sadly
 
So isn't the current Titan XP something like $3000? Good grief we can build a fairly high end rig that will last for years for that kind of money.
 
Are you talking about using a GPU enclosure to connect the Titan Xp externally or using the iMac 5k as a display connected to another PC via TB3?
 
What games are you trying to play? Thunderbolt enclosures can incur a pretty hefty performance hit depending on title.
 
Plus theres really no point in 5k gaming with 4k around. Not only is it much more difficult to run, I doubt many can tell the difference on screens smaller than 30".

Pretty much. Most people aren't even gaming in 4K yet.

use it once, then you can have a better point of view.

a 27" screen is near your eyes and you can see better the difference. with a 75" screen i can barely see the difference between 4k and 1080p from the normal distance
 
Been playing Destiny 2 in 4k with decent results. IMO its not worth the hit when 1k and 2k look and play great.
