We tested all the solutions today at 1600p and 4K resolutions. All cards were tested in the last week with the Nvidia 353.06 Forceware driver, and the AMD 15.4 Catalyst driver.

If you want to read more about our test system, or are interested in buying the same Kitguru Test Rig, check out our article with links on this page. We are using an Asus PB287Q 4k and Apple 30 inch Cinema HD monitor for this review today.
