PowerColor Says Only 1% Of PC Gamers Run At 4K - SteelCrysis - 05-24-2015

It's stated as part of a giveaway. Personally, I think it's crap. How is a GPU manufacturer able to determine how many gamers use a resolution? The Steam Hardware and Software Survey is totally unreliable for resolutions, because it didn't pick up the surge in Korean 1440p monitor sales.

This must be so heartbreaking for you.

I find it hard to believe that DSR can even come close to 4k. I would have to see it to believe it. I'm sure it's no match for a native 4k resolution.

My personal goal is for a 65" 4k TV for $500-600. I will probably be waiting for quite a while, at least for a few more years.

You're getting closer to your dream, a 50" 4K TV has been announced at USD 598: http://hdguru.com/hisense-introduces-598-50-4k-uhd-tv-through-walmart/

Black Friday this year is going to be very interesting.
Also, there was a 55" 4k TV on Amazon.ca here in Canada about a week ago that was selling for $698. That's about $550USD. It even had HDMI 2.0.
RE: PowerColor Says Only 1% Of PC Gamers Run At 4K - SteelCrysis - 05-31-2015
Yes, the article quotes Hisense as saying that it will have HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.

It will be very nice when a. there is content you don't have to look for b. fast 4K tvs above 70" and up get to a decent price.
We all have 55-65" tvs, 4K looks the same as 1080p at normal viewing distances on those sizes , so to get any real "bang for buck" we need BIG tvs.
