I've got a UHD 4K monitor incoming, and I'm wondering if I should grab a new video card (GTX 970 likely) to put the game in 4K mode.

I have a GTX 670 and a 3570K at 4.4Ghz, it pulls me down to the 20s in heavy action. 1440p I stay in the high 40s.
So a GTX 970 should do MWO at 4K pretty well. Don't know what you have at the moment though!

Depends on what is acceptable. I reckon you could scrape 30fps with a 970, but to be safe 970 SLI is probably required.

yeah it is a tad squint-inducing!
In game the HUD etc is fine though.

Lordred of the perfect screenshot thread could tell you.

Perfect thanks.
Maybe I just upgrade the whole system - get one of those fancy new X99 DDR4 builds going.

Just got one put together and booted last night.
Got the i7-5930k, 16GB ram, and a the evga superclocked GTX 980
And somehow I still can't seem to pull more 20-50 fps that my old gtx 560 ti did. And that's at 1080, much less 4k. I must be setting something wrong.
Time to play with t

if you don't get an Haswell-E X99 CPU at 4,4GHz, what is pretty much Water-Cooling, you wont have the same results as with a Haswell Refresh devils canyon i7 4790k.
As it is now, i clearly would w8 for the 16nm fin fet Generation of Graphic cards to se MWO in 4k. Well its not a high-speed Shooter, but 60FPS is an adress to go, so perhaps 1440p is a good resultion perhaps with some DSR/AA.

What's odd is my processor IS watercooled and overclocked. You think that would help.

All cores at very high clockspeed will be hard on air, but you can also overclock it so that it goes to 4.6 if it only loads 3 cores or something.

What monitor? remember most of the 4k monitors only do 30hz at 4k res via hdmi.

The 970 is a great gpu but maybe not as strong as the AMD alternative at 4K in this title.
It works fine except the UI does not scale.
Performance wise YMMV due to CPU, OS, detail setting, yada
But if you are unhappy you can always run the monitor at a lower resolution until the rest of you rig/UI scaling catches up to 4K goodness.

I have the 28UD590 (game mode) and run MWO at 4K all settings off/low.
This rig:
R9 290 non reference Visiontek - air cooled
i7-4790K (not overclocked - turbos to 4.4 during play) liquid cooled X61 Kraken.
Z97 motherboard
SSD
Windows 8.1
Works very well.
/-EC&P
I also ran the 290 with an i7-4770 air cooled before the DC, fps is situational but very playable on both chips as well as others with the 290; ask around.
While it is apples an pumpkins comparison: google the crysis 3 4K benchmarks (different settings, different crysis engine version, yadda yadda) and look at 970 vs 290 numbers.

You will love the res tho if you are a fan of desktop real estate. (There are days I miss those extra pixels.) Enjoy!
