Hardware & Technical 4K monitor with NVIDIA GTX770

Description:I have a PC, see specs below, that has an Nvidia GTX770 GFX card which runs Elite Dangerous at approx 60 FPS on very high settings.
I'm looking into getting a 4K monitor and running the game at these resolutions, ie 3840 pixels × 2160 . Nvidia web site says these cards are capable or running a 4K monitor.
Has anyone got one of these cards and if so what kind of frame rates are you getting on Elite Dangerous with a 4K res?

Many thanks for any help.

PC Specs:
Intel Core i7-4820K QC 3.7GHz
16GB RAM
256GB SSD, 1TB
NVIDIA GTX770

Not an expert but I wouldn't think it will be great.

If it were me I would get the graphics card upgraded before the monitor

Again not an expert, I was advised that you should get GTX **80 (the 80, is apparently better optimised for 4K) - or better of course ti etc...

It'll be pants at 4k for gaming, I have an over clocked Palit Gamerock GTX1070 and that struggles to maintain smooth gaming even at medium settings at 4k, flies along at 1440p though.

If you want decent performance at 4k you'll be looking at a GTX1080ti (or even two) and personally I don't think it's worth the cost, you games will look and "feel" better played at 100+fps at 1440p (on a monitor capable of displaying that anyway) than they will played at -60fps at 4k.

There is absolutely no way it will handle 4k, at whatever quality settings you can think of. For first it will just not have enough of a frame buffer. 2GB is like quarter of what you want to run 4k more or less comfortably.

P.S. 4k is a gimmick, and will be for at least 5 more years. 1440p is currently a way to go from 1080p.
P.P.S. Just to put it into perspective - 4k requires 4x times more pixels to render than 1080.
