Does this look good at 4K?

when set to 4K it messes up the HUD and Text making it really small

I play in 4k and the game looks great. Actually, I'm using Nvidia's DSR ("dynamic super resolution") which renders the game at 4k (3840x2160) and scales it to 1920x1080 but what you'll see on a 4k monitor or TV should be similar (just slightly sharper). The in-game HUD is the right size but the options, load and save menus are too small. The HUD seems to be scaled as a percentage of screen size but the menus are sized in pixels.

If you have a half-decent CPU and graphics card you should have no problems playing this game in 4k with all the graphics options maxed out and that's what I recommend you do. The improvement in image quality is worthwhile.

One thing to note is that when I use DSR and set the resolution to 3840x2160 it defaults to my monitor resolution (1920x1080) the next time I play, so I have to set it back to 4k every time I start the game. If your monitor's native resolution is 4k then you might not have this minor inconvenience.

Can you DSR at higher then 4k and then display it ona 4K monitor?

My rig seems to be able to handle about twice 4k.

I've played on 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 monitors and the highest DSR options I've seen in Nvidia Control Panel are 3840x2160 and 3840x2400, i.e. twice the resolution/four times the pixels of the monitor. I think the limit is twice your monitor's resolution, not just 4k, as I'm sure I've read about people using 8k DSR resolution with 4k monitors. I can't test that myself, though.

Don't forget to change the "DSR - smoothness" setting in Nvidia Control Panel from its default 33%. I find that a bit fuzzy and a lower value looks nicer.

I did a quick test with DSR on the HL2 Lost Coast built-in benchmark.

1920 x 1080 --> 288.6fps (native, no DSR)
3840 x 2160 --> 218.0fps (4x DSR)

Assuming the drop in fps is proportional to the number of pixels it doesn't look like I could do 4k with 4x DSR (7860 x 4320) at 60fps. But I might manage 4k with x2.25 DSR (5760 x 3240) at 60fps. It's hard to say because, judging by the graphics card fan noise, I am CPU limited at 1920x1080 and GPU limited at 3840x2160.

This was with everything turned up to maximum image quality in the driver (Nvidia Control Panel) and in the game.

My system:
CPU = i7-6900K (Broadwell-E) 4.2GHz
GPU = 2 x GTX 980Ti (SLI)
RAM = 2667MHz quad channel DDR4
OS = Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Driver = v375.95

I'll probably try to do a 125% or 150% and downscale back to 4K
