Also, what kind of insane GPU setup are you going to use to drive modern games at 4k resolution at 120fps? apoppin recently wrote an article that showed that SLI and Crossfire do not scale well at all in newer games.
Wow, interesting article by Poppin! He should create an account over at WCCFTech, post comments linking to his review, and bring in 1000's of fanboys from that insane site! But then he'd have to ban 80% of them if he's still picky.
Nvidia bascially removing official support for 3 and 4-way SLI for the new Pascal GP104 cards probably implies this dilemma, especially if Nvidia know there's something in the way like a bottleneck of some kind - in order to avoid disappointing rich gaming brats.
RE: 120fps!!!! OH YES, for fast-paced gaming. Yeah, Rollo said it can only do 120Hz via 1080p, not 4K (still a limitation of HDMI 2.0, I think, but DP 1.3/1.4 should certainly be capable of 120Hz@4K). 120Hz is always nice for gaming, even if the frame rate is say, only 50fps. One of my friends has a 49" 1080p TV hooked up to his gaming rig, right next to his monitor. It's nice to use - I can understand Gstan's point.
It makes me wonder if more TV's will start supporting true 120Hz @ 1080p this year, and if the PS4 Neo will as well (thanks to HDMI 2.0). It'd be awesome for 3D too, giving a cleaner, clearer 60Hz per eye, so that games look basically just as good as say, Oculus Rift (although I have yet to try one).. Sure, 3D is an almost-failed niche, but it's really awesome to use for a bunch of games!
