I would say there are quite a few ppl on 4k with 8gb cards, I being one of them. You just dont run them maxed out like reviewers do which makes it seem unplayable on these cards. A lot of seemingly tough to run games do very well with the right settings and with minimal visual quality loss.

I dont get this though - if you dont care about visual loss, why are you even playing at 4k in the first place? Then you could play at 1080p or 1440p and get much better performance, rather than being crippled by a gpu that is in all honesty too weak for 4k. You go 4k (or higher) if you want the maximum visual fidelity... but it becomes kinda pointless if you have to lower settings to get playable framerates at 4k.

You just have to experiment with which settings make a noticeable difference or not. For me AA = 0, ultra to very high or high, shadows = medium, motion blur = off, etc. I have a 1440p spare display and can use higher visual settings on it, but the higher res of the larger 4k display looks better to me and is more immersive. Also some games I can be content with 30-40fps (valhalla). Was never an FPS whore to start with. I'm about on par with the new consoles and majority of them will by on 4k as well.

GDDRX , that will make a beast for mining . Probably will be best mining GPU to date ( performance/cost) 🙂
