4k monitor - graphics hardware

I have two 980s in SLI at 1300 core 7600 mem, on a RoG Swift (1440p 144hz).

1440p 144hz is roughly equivalent to 4k@60hz in terms of pixels driven, and mine never dips below 144fps.

What have you got now? My 290 Pro runs 2560x1440 at a steady 60fps, I reckon it would be playable at 4k as well.

I have an NVidia GeForce GTX 600. My PC was put together ±8 months ago by Scan Computers (UK) i.t.o. a spec from my son who is in the games industry. I wasn't expecting to need sophisticated graphics at the time so I imagine it's a fairly unexciting card, but there's loads of room in the case. I called Scan a couple of weeks ago about all this and they said no way will my card run 4k, and recoomended dual cards (can't remember what they were) if I want to go 4k.

From other comments made here, it looks like I should either go 2k and be satisfied, or wait for 8k and really treat myself.

Many thanks for everyone's replies, they are really useul! :)

I'm running an R9 290 @ 3200 x 1800 downsampled to 2560 x 1440, and I get a steady 60FPS ( frame rate capped @ 60 ) in space, with small drops towards 45 -50 in stations.

Can someone explain to me what the purpose of rendering using DSR at very high resolutions and then downscaling actually achieves?
It sounds like it simply works the GPU very hard for the same discernable output.
