From my experience, that isn't true. I've had to stop playing most games I had been enjoying on my 1080P monitor because 1080p on my 4K monitor just makes them look too muddy. My GTX 670s are definitely not capable of pushing 4K in newer titles and I'm waiting yet another year to see what Nvidia/AMD can bring to the table.

Since this screen requires dual DisplayPort to achieve 8K resolution it would seem to use MST to do so rather then SST. There is every reason to suspect that it can do SST at a lower resolution such as 4K though. MST was used with early 4K monitors but it comes off as a bit of a hack and is less then ideal. Simple actions like scrolling a webpage can cause screen tearing about the vertical axis due to the render being divided by the dual DisplayPort inputs.



I'm not in a rush for 8K, I can wait at least until a single video card is capable of rendering an 8K display at least for 2D / desktop purposes. I passed on 4K until they were able to do this in the industry so I see no reason to deviate from that tactic.



Oh and the price is outrageously expensive too,....
