Some people are now using 40" 4k tv as computer monitor. To me this approach has too many bad sides. TV has lag. Screen is too big for close view. Better option to get 27" with 144 or 240hz as Chalenge said.

ha i must be getting old here you are all talking about 4 k res and i still watch the old analog tv shows in 4.3 like i did 50 years ago. but i do it on a 60 inch sony so  i can see what i am watching. i have a hard time seeing as it is now. for me i do not need to see every rivet on the cartoon planes to shoot at it. when i built my computer using the 980 ti , it was to hold fps with the graphics for AH 3 which it does at the 1920 x1080 res. from what i have seen in the stores 4 k res has not yet made me wooowwwwwwwww. so it will be interesting what you all have to say about this game in 4 k res in comparison  to 1920 x 1080. if its worth the extra cash then i will go with something like this. however my cable provider has not yet given me a signal in that high range .

Both Netflix and Amazon stream 4k videos, but there aren't too many available. I tried to post an 8k screenshot from AH3, but even in the films and screenshots area the host would not accept it, despite it being compressed to suit the file size limits.

What error did you get?  Give me the exact size of the file, and the file type.

It's a .jpg and file size is (reported by Windows) as 5,046 KB (5,166,319 bytes). I had it compressed at the "10" Max level in PS CS6 at 6,126 KB (6,272,618 bytes) and that wouldn't go either (obviously).

Even with the new AH graphics, my 1920x1200 resolution monitor looks plenty good to me.  I can't go any bigger, without getting a bigger apartment.  I sit two feet from this one.  Not sure what the benefit is to spend $400 on a monitor, when it would necessitate spending $2000 more on multiple high end video cards to get the most from it. 

I'd love to have the biggest monitor and state of the art video cards but with AH being the only game on my system, all that $$$ seems to invoke the law of diminishing returns.
Getting a higher resolution doesn't always mean more inches. 4K monitors seem to start from 27" which I suppose is close enough to your current one. The resolution you are using can be found on 7 inch tablets http://i1.wp.com/thedigitaldisciple.net/wp-content/uploads/Tablet-Screen-Master-2015-7-1.jpg. Apple has a 5K monitor in their 27" iMac, with a resolution of 5120 x 2880.

As Pudgie's example shows, a much faster monitor isn't bigger either.

Size doesn't matter, it's the amount of pixels and the speed they are drawn that define the requirements of a video card.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

DPI (dots per inch) define the size of the monitor, for any given resolution.

Pardon me! I forgot the error message:

I need the physical size and the attachment type.  It could be a matter of timeout length.

At 4k? And bear in mind that not only are people going to want 4k, but the situation in AHIII may still change. Hopefully, once it is in full release we can finally get an SLI profile, too.

The OP never mentioned using a 4k monitor, he just asked if the Nvidia 970 card could run the game as well as a 980Ti, which it can.

I was justifying why I suggested the 980Ti, but no I disagree that it can run as well on a 970. I do not own a 970, but I do own a 980 and 980 Ti so I can see where the 970 could not possibly do as well.

The 970 does fine with the Alpha, at 1920x1080 resolution with all the bells and whistles enabled.

Oh, yeah for some reason I thought it might not make the 4k texture jump. It's been awhile since I was using 1080p. :D
