YouTube’s ‘GoChris’ and ‘Thirty IR’ have shared some new videos, showcasing Trackmania 2, Project CARS 2 and Far Cry Primal running in 8K with 60fps. In order to achieve something like that, Thirty IR used four GTX TITAN XP GPUs in 4-way SLI.
What’s really amazing here is the incredible SLI scaling on both Project CARS 2 and Far Cry Primal. As we can see, these four GPUs were almost used to their fullest, showing what gamers can achieve with SLI. It’s just sad that a respectable amount of PC games in 2017 did not support either SLI or Crossfire.
On the other hand, GoChris used two GTX 1080 in SLI in order to capture his Trackmania 2 8K footage.
These videos will give you a glimpse at the future. However, don’t expect to be gaming in such high resolutions anytime soon on single GPUs.
Enjoy!

I can play Primal with my single 1080ti 4k 60hz now which is more than enough and without all that needless hardware and heat.
8K gaming must be truly amazing but it’s way off in the future for the vast majority of gamers. The cost of the monitor alone is around $3,500 last I heard and I wouldn’t count on running 4 way SLI in most games. The monitor price will come down over the years but the cost of enough GPU to run games at 8K will be very high for a long time.
Really, we need to tackle 4K before looking at a 8K monitor which has 4 times as many pixels as a 4K monitor. I just had a look at the Steam Hardware Survey for last month and now less than 1/2 of 1% report using 4K or about 1 out of 240. I know the survey isn’t fully reliable but it gives a general idea what people are using.
I think what’s holding back mainstream adoption of 4K is mostly the cost of buying enough GPU to run the monitor in graphics intensive games. Right now a 1080 Ti does pretty well but that’s around $800 and that’s way, way outside the budget of the average gamer.
When a midrange GPU for possibly $300 can handle 4K well then we will probably see a pretty good increase in 4K gaming adoption.
I think we don’t have a single gpu which runs all pC games at 4k@60 hz .1440p is becoming standard for PC gamers .I think soon we will have a 3-500$ gpu running 4k@60fps and 4k will become a standard for PC gamers.
Special thanks to Nvidia and AMD for bringing us great inventions.
Most people aim for 120 or 144 hz. Thats what makes 1440p such a strong contender since on a 27″ monitor you don’t see the jump as much to 4k as from 1080p. It will be a good long while until we can run 4k maxed out at 120 hz.
When you say most people I doubt it as everyone I know is happy with a 60 hz or ultimately 75hz which for me is the sweet spot.
You really don’t need 120/144hz screens unless you are really into FPS or competitive games.
I would sooner game at 3440×1440 75hz or 4k 60hz than 2560 at those high refresh numbers. But each to their own.
The 1080ti already can you don’t have to max out every games settings for it to look it’s best. How many times have you guys gone from a high to ultra setting and can honestly say you noticed a big difference.
I can run most of the latest games at 4k 60hz maxed out and for those I can’t I just drop a few settings normally the ones that make a negligible graphical difference.
But ultra gives us the satisfaction,no matter what quality change we notice.imao
4k, 8k f all that il rather take higher framerate then 60fps every time.
1440p@144Hz, 165Hz>>>>>>4k@60Hz, 8k@60Hz
I vehemently disagree. I’d much rather have the game look better than run better. Unless I’m playing for money that is.
Thats all fine and dandy when you’re looking at screenshots but i feel you’re the minority in that opinion. Most people prefer buttery smooth motion while having the game look good, even if its not at 4k.
Agreed as long as its locked above 60hz i’m happy though 75hz is my preferred setting if possible.
Why cant we have it all? PCs are owned for that reason.
1440P 144hz with Free-sync or G-sync monitor’s is where its at for gaming really is the best experience for competitive gamers i guess 1080P and 240hz.
I think the bigger debate is do gamers finally agree that IPS is good enough now to replace TN panels completely except for pure extreme competitive gamers.
I owned my Acer XB27HU for 2 years now and i personally see no reason for me to upgrade for years the only thing i hate about my monitor is that it only has 1 connection type(Display Port) i love the colors on my monitor so much yet i have to use this cheap 150$ flat screen TV for my Nintendo Switch since i can’t plug it in my monitor to save my life.
From around last year ips has been good enough but you’re always paying a heavy premium. For people like me though who do photography & graphic design, or even people who do video editing or anything that requires good color reproduction, IPS is a requirement and anything below is usually unacceptable.
i hate IPS right now, bought it for work, and for some reason causes me more than normal eye fatigue, even on the lowest brightness, it is still bright and the “blacks” are so grey that it irritates me. Colour volume is quite poor at lowest birghtness settings as well.
I think i’m going to sell it and pick a PVA based technology.
Bought 1440p 165hz asus pg278qr i have gtx 1080ti and i dont see gtx 1080ti ready for 4k it is ready for 144-165 but 4k we need 2 more year for 4k 120hz
