    The 780M can't game at 4k.

    The 980M gets like 25 FPS. The desktop GTX 980 gets like 35-40 FPS.

    if it works cool though i would prefer refresh rate or gsync over 4k. 4k is good for taking screenshots: not so much for gaming on notebooks at this point - 1080p is still king.

    I still just want a 75Hz 1080p IPS panel. If they had made that available, I would've probably kept my R1.

    120Hz 1080p is the best screen for the R1.
