Driving an 8K monitor can be a bit hard on some computers, no? And chaining multiple 8K monitors is an even bigger challenge.

- wmf 5y agoIf only Apple made an Ultra-powerful computer that could drive 8K...
- jimrandomh 5y agoThe key feature is "HDMI 2.1 display stream compression", which is only present in very recent GPUs, and without which a computer can't output 8k at all. If it's new enough to have that feature, it's fast enough to handle 8k no problem. I don't typically run videogames at 8k, but I'm sitting close enough that I want them centered in a ~4k window anyways rather than filling my peripheral vision.

- dmitrygr 5y agoit is a lossy compression. it'll just lose more detail/color/etc until it does fit
