@RaverX3X - This is how many forums involving technical information work. If someone states something that is incorrect or inaccurate or in need of better phrasing, people usually correct that person, regardless of who was responding to whom. It happens a lot here and in other emulation communities that I frequent. It's not like NaturalViolence has anything in particular against you, he just merely wants to correct what you've said. Do realize that inaccurate information has a way of spreading quite quickly online, so in theory it is best to make sure that it does not go unaddressed.
Since it seems my comment started all of this, just let me clarify that I was only saying that one has to investigate what Dolphin is doing to the GPU during 4K play-throughs in order to claim the process is demanding. It isn't enough to arbitrarily assume 4K gaming with Dolphin will or won't be demanding unless some evidence involving the GPU is brought up. I mentioned the GC/Wii hardware because many gamers currently associate 4K gaming with modern PC gaming, which is a very different beast from Nintendo's consoles or Dolphin's emulation of said consoles. I was simply trying to highlight that people should not compare the two, e.g. knowing how demanding 4K gaming is in Crysis 3 is not an indication of how demanding 4K gaming in Dolphin will be. In my opinion, this leads to an overestimation of how much it takes to do 4K gaming in Dolphin. That's all I was saying.
So in brief I've nothing to worry about with the 780ti on 4k? Good to know ^__^

As pointed about you'll only be using one of those in Dolphin. No thought about waiting for the GTX 980 out very soon, which promises some performance bump (yet to be quantified, possibly slight only) as well as lower power requirements and heat output?
I'll be building a similar rig for 4K myself, but since I'm not much of a PC gamer a single graphics card will be just fine for my needs.
I knew dolphin only uses a single gpu, and it's a shame because I mostly play emulators but modern games on 4k need the quad to get >60fps (144hz monitor). I'll look into the gtx980 though.

The thing is he just saying it was in accurate without actually saying which part is.. Or offering clarification. I understand that mis info spreads quickly. If there is a part that is inaccurate ill fix it not a big issue it could be how i wrote it. Ya all i was doing was just agreeing with you in a different way.. 4k gaming in dolphin is different then a pc game...
I not only stated what was inaccurate and why, I even went so far as to quote the exact statements you made that were wrong. I don't see how I can possibly be any clearer than that. And you responded to me by getting angry and rambling about things that had no relevance to anything.
Hrm, now I need a new tee-shirt...

The 980 is a much better card in every way. There is little reason not to wait a week or two to get it.

I wonder if I should wait for the 980Ti then... :3
Or wait 50 years for the GTX1980Ti with its 5 billion cuda cores
