Can a GTX 770 handle a single 4k monitor?

[luxlunae]

I'm moving this week and I shipped my computer but decided to discard both of my monitors (each had its own problems) with the idea that I'd finally buy 4k monitors when it got here. I wasn't thinking of the graphics card though. Do you think I can play one box of wow at reasonable settings ("good"?) with an nvidia gtx 770? Do you think it would crash it just to try and web browse?

Thanks

Hm... a single 770 might be a little tough. Is it the 4GB version? I think the 770 is the lowest card that "supports" 4k, maybe the 760ti does too now that I think about it.

You will definitely be able to browse the web, play back videos, ect. Gaming at the "good" level may net you like sub 30 FPS. I recommend definitely turning off AA and ambient occlusion. You can even try and render at 75% and upscale.

Getting a second 770 would be a good bump in performance.

If you only have the 2GB version you may run out of memory extremely fast, and I wouldn't recommend playing at 4k with that.

Thanks crum. I probably will have to get a new graphics card then, but I'll try without. I can always do a partial screen with isboxer I guess.

And even if you can't play at 3840x2160, there's nothing stopping you from simply playing in windowed mode at a lower resolution, or even dropping your desktop resolution to play in windowed borderless or fullscreen (which will be slightly blurry).

Just an update to this, I haven't had any problems single boxing or dual boxing, but dual boxing while watching a video in VLC is nogo.
