The idea of 12K (11520×2160 resolution) gaming is nothing new. Even Microsoft has been talking about it for a couple of years now. But it’s one thing to demo it as some pie-in-the-sky ideal of a brighter future, and another for an actual game to officially support the ludicrous resolution at launch.
That game is Project CARS, and while there’s no such thing in 2015 as a 12K monitor (even 4K monitors are rare), the support is there on the understanding that some maniac, somewhere, will own three 4K monitors and string them together
The game actually demoed this support back at E3 (and CES) last year, as part of an Nvidia showcase, but that was for E3 (and a graphics card company to boot), where “realistic expectations for home use regardless of personal wealth” and “video game visuals” rarely intersect.
Since the actual game will officially support it though, it will be interesting to see real humans in the outside world owning a rig with three 4K monitors (which is probably not you or me) be able to try this out.
Here’s what that demo looked like, if you want to suddenly feel inadequate:

But can it play Cr – oh, right.
Of course it fucking can.
Almost feels like yesterday when I was playing on my 160×144 px Game Boy.
Psh. Only 12 Ks?
“Suck it consoles”
Yep Mhmm.
That computer would cost exactly how much again?
In the old days you could hook up 3 playstation 2 consoles to do this kind of thing, it would be cool if they still supported that. 3 x PS4s cost less than a single GTX Titan card…
My thoughts exactly…
That’s not “officially” 12k… you should probably adjust the misleading heading to this article, lest you appear ignorant.
Actual 12K would be 12288×6480. Or, if you follow the UHD = 4K theme, then it’d be 11520×6480. Not 11520×2160, which is only 1/3 of that.
hes just being lazy referring to 3 4k monitors as being 12k
but thats just semantics
Wouldn’t it be cheaper, easier and more immersive to just use something like the Occulus Rift?
Yes, but they aren’t for long term use…..yet.
And yet they are playing it in 3rd person view! What a waste….
