Ultra High Definition 4K - 3840x2160 Performance

Gaming at 3840x2160 FPS performance with modern games

So on this page I want to show you an overview of rendering performance with a series of High-end and Enthusiast level graphics cards. “FullHD” 1920x1080 has become the industry standard within the display industry, but enthusiasts will never settle for just standard and are always looking for the next big innovation in technology. Ultra HD gaming is the next evolution in immersion that gamers have been waiting for. Commonly addressed as Ultra HD, UHD or 4K, this new resolution refers to the ultra-high resolutions with approximately 4000 horizontal pixels. Ultra HD resolution also has four times the number of pixels of a typical 1920x1080 resolution.

With four times the pixels, a new level of immersion can be created for gamers on a single display. Gamers will be able to experience richer details and a new sense of realism with the next generation of gaming on Ultra HD displays. An AMD Radeon R9 290 features support for Ultra HD resolutions over both HDMI 1.4b (low 30Hz refresh) and DisplayPort 1.2 (60Hz refresh). Over time these Ultra HD charts will build up, so please understand that the following two pages functions as an indication of what we need in the not so far away future.

Our scores are average frame rates so you need to take a margin in mind for lower FPS at all times. As such we say 40 FPS for overall should be your minimum, while 60 FPS (frames per second) can be considered optimal.
