This.

why do ppl think this is true

It's not technically. In practice though i just don't see the point yet.

I recently bought a PS4 pro and have a 4k TV so yeah, kinda (it's usually fake 4k tho). My PC is also high-end but can't push 4k. I play at 1440p (GTX 1070).

I have a 4K laptop - screen is GORGEOUS. I record PoE gameplay now in 4K 60fps. Using MSI GS63VR laptop, 1060 graphcis card.

Once you've experienced 4K you'll never go back, it's gorgeous. Games, movies, 4K wallpaper - just look absoulutely fantastic.

I'm gonna hold off another year or so for a 4K build. The 1180ti should be good.

I assume that's the Pascal variation of the Titan X? Because the old Titan X can't push 4k60.

ended up grabbing a 980ti for cheap to hold me over

Three 8pin connectors really pls

I could easily do 4k, just haven't bought the monitor yet. Currently 2560x1600 on a 30" monitor.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB video card
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII FORMULA Z170 chipset motherboard
32GB G.SKILL TridentZ (2x16) memory
Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake cpu
Enermax ETS-T40F-BK cpu cooler
(1x) Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
(2x) Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
LIAN LI PC-V33WX aluminum case
Seasonic SS-760XP2 760W power supply

I run Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, along with DX9 Ex mode in client. I could easily do DX11, but GGG has multiple monitor issues with it. I run a second 1920x1080 monitor on the side, and used to run two of them, but cut back recently. I wouldn't touch Windows 10 until Microsoft drops update support for 7 in 2020. Since you're building a new system, of course go Windows 10 now (and you'll be forced to anyway with future Intel CPUs, unless you want to roll Linux).

And that system is overkill for my resolution, but should be good performance for 4k. I ran 2560x1600 PoE on an old Core i7-920 with a GTX 680 card just fine.

For you, OP, just roll any Skylake or Kabby Lake CPU along with a GTX 1080 Ti, which is the latest GPU that would easily crush 4k.
