What future are they living in that allows 16K gaming?

How far in the future are they user? It's from Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc EP02

5-10 years

Next 20 years bet

Let's be serious, eventually people will get that the human eye cannot see beyond Full HD, and all these 4k screens are just a scam.

So 10,000 years in the future they'll still use Full HD

Considering meme resolutions are being adopted faster than I can flip the insipid companies in charge of this bullshit off I'd say about 6 to 7 years.

GPUs aren't developing fast enough to keep up, so give it 15 before it's usable with a reasonable modern game on a $20K budget.

Technology is developing rapidly. I doubt we can predict what will happen within 10 years even. Keep in mind, things like smartphones are not that old.

16k, higher or something completely different might be the norm in 10 years. Or at the very least make its breakthrough. There are many different kinds of technologies that are going to break through very soon.

This is not a technology thread. Reported and saged.

Fucking hell man, this won't be a thing for another decade or so.

720p gaymen: 2.5 TFLOP FP32
1080p gaymen: 5 TFLOP FP32
1440p gaymen: 10 TFLOP FP32

4K gaymen: 20 TFLOP FP32
8K gaymen: 40 TFLOP FP32
16K gaymen: 80 TFLOP FP32

Just a rough guide but yeah, you'd beed a GPU with almost 100 TFLOPS of FP32 to play gaymes at 16K resolution.

Why would anyone need it?

Full HD on a 5.5 inch screen maybe, if you use a big panel you obviously notice a difference with 4k.

A grim, horrific future where people buy into the 4K+ meme for some insane reason - unless they have enhanced eyes by that time which actually appreciate the resolution

16K actually would be useful for VR. For a 65-inch TV that most people sit several feet away from, even 8K would be useless

I don't know whether people like you are blind or what, but the difference between 1080p and 2160p is pretty obvious, especially on a monitor. 8k will probably be the final frontier for monitors since you can't see the pixels at that point on that new Dell monitor without pressing your face against the screen.

Let's see, 1080p was roughly 2006-2016, although for a little while most people just had 720p. Let's say mainstream 4k lasts until 2024 since devs seem to want to move to 8k as soon as possible for some reason. I think things will stagnate pretty hard by then, if 16k even takes off it won't be until 2040 at the earliest, maybe even later..

2025

Apple will have 16K iMacs in another year or so.

With 6-bit displays and laptop GPUs that constantly thermal throttle and overheat.

Still butthurt over the 5K iMac?

Still butthurt over the 5K iMac?

>tfw it turned out to be a 6-bit display with dithering
lmao

Yea at only $50,000
Stupid macshill.

>streaming

go to bestbuy and tell me you can't see the difference between 4k and other screens

I can't. Nobody can. Because barely any 4k content exists and 95% of it is porn. Even if that wasn't the case I sit like 20 feet away from the screen as everyone should do, so 4k is virtually the same as 1080p. 4k is the biggest meme.

15-20 Years. They even have actual AI, one or two of them actually smart enough to emulate actual human beings.

I sit fairly close around 0.5m viewing distance on a 27" display and still notice a significant difference between a 1080 and 2160 display of the same size.
For 1440 the difference compared to 2160 would be small under the same conditions. Would have opted for 1440 If I could find a decent 144Hz IPS display at the time.

32" 4K 144Hz+ would be as far as I would be willing to go on a monitor. VR/AR can squeeze a lot more resolution until you cannot notice much of a difference.
