Amusements Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi Guys After my main 4K tv/monitor spat out flames yesterday, I have ordered a new 8K jobby - while I wait for a new power board. This will give me the chance to make a few, or all of my layouts bigger, as I always have to reduce the size of them when I get to the cabinet stage. So I was wondering if anyone is using 8K? If so let me know, and I will make some bigger layouts available. Treat every day like your last, because one day it will be! Fruit Machine <<<My new project!

Mavroz Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Not me, not even 4k yet...... Call me old fashioned. If bigger layouts are made, will the emulator cope? Will most Pc's cope? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearecity Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I went to 4k, a year ago, when I got my new PC, but I don't even think 4k has hit its peak yet. I think 8k gaming is a good few years away yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should think so as I found a simple way of getting round the 2880 pixle height limit 7 hours ago, niallquinn said: 8k?

Fortunatley I bought a 1060 a few years ago from my winnings at an MGM casino slot:) That will run 8K. 7 hours ago, wearecity said: I went to 4k, a year ago, when I got my new PC, but I don't even think 4k has hit its peak yet. I think 8k gaming is a good few years away yet. I think now is the best time to get 4K as prices are good, and the tech has really evolved. However you have to get one with good upscaling! I got mine 6 years ago before all things were standard, Samsung threw the best of everything in it at the time. It upscales MFME layouts amazingly well, so I cantwait to replace the crap TCL one I use on my cab, when my new board arrives. 1 Treat every day like your last, because one day it will be!

That's ridiculous. I wonder what sort of graphics card you would need to run that? Just finished putting mine on a new TV cabinet, as the old one was not wide enough. I can finally do stuff now, but unfortunately I now find out my graphics card will only run 4K @ 120Hz, and new graphics cards are still expensive due to crypto mining.

nails Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 i have a 4k ultrawide and was looking at 5k, simply because i sometimes need 2 windows open at once. 8k will need a fierce graphics card, so i assume the price of a top end card and 8k screen wil push you past the 3 grand mark? without a graphics card it will only be pushing windows around, so therefore having 2 x 4k will be 2 1/2 grand cheaper? just a thought, as if your running a top of the range 8k monitor, you want things (games) to run in 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nails Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 i stand corrected - just over 5 grand https://www.ebuyer.com/790123-dell-up3218k-ultrasharp-32-premiercolor-ultrahd-31-5-8k-ips-monitor-dell-up3218k https://www.ebuyer.com/1261415-gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-12gb-vision-oc-graphics-card-gv-n308tvision-oc-12gd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old GTX 1060 (6GB) has 3 outputs, and has been running 2 4k screens no problem, so maybe that could be a cheap alternative? I usually play MFME on the portrait one, and watch Cell Block H on the landscape one:) 1 Treat every day like your last, because one day it will be! Fruit Machine <<<My new project!

andrew96 Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 If your buying a 4k monitor or tv....... remember they fool you by marketing these as 4k when in actual fact they are UHD, when you investigate you find they don't have enough pixels to be 4K so your brand new 4K tv is likely NOT to be 4K but UHD!! (I know I know your only loosing about a inch and a half but it is still wrong of them!) 3840 x 2160 pixels (UHD) 4096 x 2160 pixels (true 4K) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no fixed standard when I got my first 4K TV (6 years ago) but at least it is 4096 px wide. Even now Windows tries to tell me that 3840 is recommended, even for my crap TCL, and my new LG.
