What system spec for 4K monitor?

[romannets]

so if i leave the game for about a year and actually get a job, i can save money for a new computer and 4K monitor, and then quit my job to play games all day once again. So what sort of spec would be needed to drive 4K, with tons of mods, AO,AA, Bloom etc. Also does anyone have any idea what spec would drive Dynamic super resolution of 150%-200% From a baseline of 4K resolution? Right now i can get DSR 150% 3840x1933 at 25FPS, med textures, mid shadows, 70k population, loads of mods, AO Bloom AA etc. This is with an HD7970 OC.

a pair of 980 TIs

For this game the main bottleneck seems to be the CPU, it starts to go to 100% on all cores from about 125k people on speed 3 even though I have a pretty good one (4790K). My 2x GTX 970 are at about 60% with 60 FPS zoomed out 40 FPS zoomed in at 3840x2160 with some mods and all vehicles customized.

Speed 2 takes about 90% CPU at 125-200k pop with graphics cards still at 60%.

So get a very good CPU (game seems to support more than 4 cores).

I have a 4k G-Sync monitor and play at 3820x2160 just fine on my GTX 780 3GB. I don't get 60fps unless I lower my resolution to 1440p (2560 x 1440). so I would think a GTX 780 Ti 4GB would handle 60fps fine.

I do not use mods or asset, so if you want to, then you'd probably need a 980 Ti or better with as much video memory as possible.

I bought a Radeon R9 390 8GB with tons of mods and assets (12GB) and it maxed my video memory early before the game was loaded. I seen a Radeon R9 380x2 (2 GPUs on one card) with 16GB video memory. It had bad reviews and don't think they make it any more. But soon cards should start have 12GB or more video memory. I know a nvidia makes a Titan card with 12GB memory. But they aren't cheap.

I upgraded my i7-4790k because lag from 100% CPU usage to a i7-5820 6-core and now games stays under 50% most of the time on a 25-tile mostly full 535k population city. My AMD 8-core FX 8320 handles the same city just fine as well with about the same 50% CPU usage and was only $120USD compared to the 6-core i7 of $400USD.

Again, I don't use mods, except to help other people fix their cities they share with me, so I need to load all mods and assets to check if they have issues with the game problems.

Other than that, I think your 7970 may very well support the new 4k monitors. 7970 are very good cards.

I never tested my R9 390 8GB FPS when I had it installed. I forgot nvidia G-Sync is not compatible with AMD video cards. AMD uses Freesync, incase you choose that path for a monitor, while nvidia uses G-Sync. There is also a VESA standard for all monitors that is called adaptive sync, but it has less features, but more compatible. Again, it need a certain VESA version number to be compatible.

You sound really lazy AND re.tard.ed.

Well some say I'm lazy, and others say that's just me. Some say I'm crazy, I guess I'll always be.
