8K IS HERE!!!!!

[sussin]

Blender can render in 65536x65536 which in video is over 10 times higher a res than 5K but now 8K monitors exist and rendering video in 7680x4320 won't be pointless! (Not that anyone can afford it) also video cameras can't film 8K so you won't have any footage asides renders,games and photos that are high enough a resolution. anyway here it is http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-32-8k-monitor-up3218k/apd/210-alez/monitors-monitor-accessories
if you don't want to hit the link you can search UP3218K although it is the only 8k monitor so you should be able to find it

maybe monitors are ready for 8k but cpu and gpu are far from ready if u mkaing a game i would not make higher res textures then 4k, tbh would still make 1k for most. less Lag is better performance.

Heck 1 of the most popular games atm is minecraft wich has 64 bit textures

Maybe if you are making a game, but if you are working on photos (30Mpx photo cameras aren't anything new) or rendering various projects in such or bigger sizes e.g. for printing (7680 pixels printed in 600 dpi are just 12.8 inches), current CPUs and GPUs are just fine for it.

The bigger the resolution the better. Rendering images in higher resolution allows more detail and allows for cropping the image and still have a quality picture. I agree that games in 8K is a going to be something for the future but for images right now I don't see why not.

I find using 8k pointless due to the fact we were just introduced to 4k not that long ago.

The Nvidia GTX 1080 supports it

Next is 10k which will probably be around $10k and before long the highest resolution monitor will be $15k. Before this was 5K which was around $1k a monitor and before that was 4K which was $300-$1000 and now 8K which is $5k. The prices grow with the resolution.

It's like the bit-wars all over again.

rendering in 8k isn't pointless either way. it still makes a 1080p monitor see it more crisp with no blur.

Yes. You can even treat it like 1080 with 4x supersampling antialiasing.

exactly, it's just sharper overall.
