href=\"http:\/\/www.techspot.com\/review\/1246-ludicrous-graphics-test\/\" target=\"_blank\">Techspot<\/a><\/strong> just took things to another level.<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed &#8220;The Ludicrous Graphics Test&#8221;, Techspot aimed to find out the capabilities of dual-flagship setups including the Titan X and R9 Fury X <strong>at resolutions as high as 11,520 x 2,160 or three 4K displays.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s around $2,400 (<strong>R32,491<\/strong>) worth of graphics gear for some context.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the system specifications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.50 GHz (Skylake)<\/li>\n<li>Asrock Z170 Z170 Extreme7+<\/li>\n<li>32GB (4x8GB) DDR4-3000<\/li>\n<li>Samsung SSD 850 Pro 2TB<\/li>\n<li>Silverstone Strider Series ST1000-G

run?<\/h3>\n<p>Look, no matter how powerful your hardware is &#8211; triple 4K gaming is a ludicrous task for even the most ardent of PC gamers to ask for.<\/p>\n<p>That said, even at these completely ludicrous resolutions, the rig is still able to produce totally playable framerates.<\/p>\n<p>Drop the resolution or graphics settings even a little bit and the PC can hit 100 FPS with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the triple 4K benchmarks below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Bench-03.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
