It looks like gaming at ultra-ultra-high resolutions like 8K (7,680 x 4,320) is a long way off, with even the world's most powerful consumer graphics card, the $2,499 Nvidia Titan RTX, struggling to run Gears 5 – Microsoft's latest entry in the Gears of War franchise. The good folks over at TweakTown gave the game a spin on a number of GPUs at a number of resolutions, and found that even with the Nvidia Titan RTX's incredible 24GB of GDDR6 memory, Gears 5 at 8K resolution is pretty much unplayable.
 
Technically, it is possible to play Gear 5 at 8K resolution with reasonably playable results – but there are a lot of compromises that need to be made. TweakTown found that Gears 5 at 8K resolution and medium graphical settings, with motion blur and vertical sync disabled, seriously challenged the mighty Titan RTX, with the GPU managing 27.4 frames per second. While that’s not a great result, it's still playable. However, the fact that a $2,499 (around £2,000/AU$3,700) struggles to hit 30 FPS on medium settings shows you how intensive 8K gaming is.
 
Looks like 4K gaming and lower resolution gaming will be here for some time to come

    I would think even minecraft w/ RTX on at 8K  would stall out any card....

    I don't think that is anything to be proud of. One would think they'd want to suppress information like that.

    Actually I'm glad this info has come out because more attention has been drawn towards 8K TVs recently. I think it's good that consumers know that even the best PC graphics card can't handle 8K monitors/TVs. So don't connect your 8K TV to your PC and try to game with it.

    8K is a nice marketing idea - there is no real reason for Consumer product over 4K
     
    The choices for 4K content is very limited & 8K content is basically  nonexistent (TV, movies ...)
     
    Buy the time 8K is more than bleeding edge & well supported with content - prices will be lower & hardware will be better
     

    4K vs 8K: Is it worth upgrading to 'Full' UHD?
