    I Created this thread as 4k will soon be mainstream and it can be helpful to others curious as to what it takes to game at low/medium/high/ and ultra settings at 4k and which gpu they will need.

    I will post BF4 and GTA V findings in a moment with a video showing how well the games run at 4k and what settings were used for the 965M

    I don't really see any point to this thread. 4K gaming is not viable on even the highest end laptops right now unless you want to dial back settings or you're playing an old game with DSR. Woohoo, I can get 30FPS on my 120hz LCD...

    While the thread will inevitably happen at some point, right now there is little point as 4K is only possible, without maxing, on the highest end laptops. Even I seldom go for it due to the steep requirements.

    This might become more relevant in a year.
