Can Ivy actually do 4k?

[Zangmonkey]

I remember reading last year about how Ivy would be able to output 4k resolution.
I haven't seen any recent reviews which have actually explored this past claim. Does anybody know whether or not it can actually do this?

4k resolution or 4ghz o/c?

4k resolution.
Seems like *maybe* the chip can do it but no extant motherboards support it.
So the only option is a 7970 for now.

Not over HDMI, I don't think.

As far as I can tell only the 7970 can do it over HDMI, out of the box.

per my understanings, 4K and Hdmi don't live together (current versions), do I need an update?

4k (4096x2160) was officially added in HDMI 1.4.

Great. This means I will replace all working Hdmi cables to "High Speed Hdmi" cables aka 1.4/1.4a compliant, and to make sure that both source (my gtx 670, checked) and (future) displays do the same...

Back to the topic, there're very few (I see none) of Z77 motherboards come with dual link DVI, and those with Hdmi 1.4/1.4a listed only up to 1920x1200@60Hz , so... Intel's HD 4000 still handicapped...

The improved graphics on the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors do support HDMI 1.4 but we only list support for 2560 x 1600 from the Display port. http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/quick-reference-guide-to-intel-processor-graphics/

Thanks for the link. So then the feature has been pulled.

As far as being pulled I don't know. The only thing that I had heard leading up to the release of the improved graphics is that they supported DirectX 11.0. So I don't know where that information came from or if it was good or bad but this is the main resource that I have to turn to on the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ graphics and the highest listed performance is the 2560 x 1600.

yes. over hdmi.

Hardware is capable, but according to Anand AMD is saying that 4k decode is not "officially" supported on the 77xx
