2 nvidia Titan X in sli. $2000
Unless you like running newer games at 30fps, you're going to need at least 2 video cards. Preferably multiple 980's or Titans. Or if ATI releases 'em soon - multiple 300 series cards.
My single 980 struggles with most games at 4K, let alone more than that.
The exception would be if you don't care about gaming. A single mid-range card will suit your needs if you just need something for desktop apps and videos.
If ya got it there ain't nothing better out there for 4k.. look at nothing but the titan x Sli. You'll need 2 if them in sli for 4 k.
For the money you are spending I would wait for the 390x to be released if you are patient enough.
Ding-dongs.
I have a Dell UP2715K on the way to me as we speak and I just realized I forgot to order a new GPU so I can actually run the damn thing. What should I get? No brand preference. Max budget is $2000.
2 nvidia Titan X in sli. $2000
Noted.
In terms of pixels 1x5K~2x4K so remember about good overclocking since even titanic 4-Way Titan X SLI is sweating .
+1 for a pair of EVGA GTX TITAN X's http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-384b.... It's really the only option you have to be able to perform at that high a resolution.
980's with their 4GB VRAM are going to bottleneck quite a bit.
Generally past two way SLI you risk no or negative scaling in a lot of games. If you're doing 5k 2x Titan X's are the way to go.
If u can wait for the next release (if nothing else then for a price drop)
If u are not worried about the coin then titan it is. But for your current games u could easily make due with a 290 or 980. The titan is really only for the more taxing games or to have ALL the eye candy on. (The is H after all). If u only play older or rarely the titan is probably a waste of money.
Having said that 2 titan in SLI would be bad ass and the best u can get right now.
Also what are your system spec's
(Sorry about the typing, I'm on my phone)
I second the two card idea. That'll probably save you some bucks. Two 980s and you're SET! Get some liquid coolant or something, maybe a bunch of fans and do some overclocking on thins?
Can 2x 980 really push 5120 x 2880 at a proper rate? Is 4gb vram a concern at 5K? That's effectively 2560x(1440x2) per card, and it doesn't scale linearly. I tried 5120x2880 (via DSR) on my Titan X, and it was not great.

So it appears that if I cut down on the amount of AA (Maybe just use FXAA?) I can get by with 2x Titan X/R9 390X? I'm aiming for at least 40 FPS or around there.

Yes, it should be OK. But then when you buy and test do us a favor and describe your impressions .
Don't bother with FXAA; why go for a super-sharp monitor if you're just going to blur everything?
With such a high resolution monitor, you most likely won't even need AA at all. Especially at that res on a 27"
It's still a work in progress, but the parts that I have bought so far are Intel Core i7-5960X, Asus X99-E WS and Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 2400MHz and the beast of them all that arrived a couple of hours ago; Dell UP2715K. I'm still working on the rest. I value stability more than performance but as I've said previously, I want to play games in 5K (or 4K on some of the more demanding games) with good framerates with high settings.
I think I'm going to follow your guys advice and wait until June when AMD hopefully releases their R9 390X. Because if nothing else, maybe Nvidia will drop the price on their Titan X a little bit.
Thanks, I'll take your advice to heart. If only there were any 5K benchmarks with 2x Titan X with reasonable settings, as in, no anti-aliasing on. I'm happy as long as I can get at least somewhere around 40 FPS and low frametimes.
Try one first, and if that isn't sufficient, then go SLI.
5k is 56% more pixels (holy hell) than 4k. Just reduce the 4k FPS by 56%. Shouldn't be any limiting factors like VRAM. Perhaps you can find a 4k review with no AA and just cut the FPS in half, that's where you'd be.

2/3rds! 100% more pixels would be half.
Actually 5k is 78% more pixels than 4k. So it's a little more than 3/4s more pixels.
at 5k your fps would roughly 56.25% that of 4k (EG if you run 100 fps on 4k, you would run at 56fps on 5k)
