How well does the 960m play 4k video?

It's hard to find things on it, but I did find this youtube vid of a 960m playing gta 5 in 4k (Low settings):



If I could get a Alienware 960m model to play steam streaming at 4k that would be great (As well as difficult to do in settings but I digress)

 

I'd say it should do 4K video, but for 4K gaming, you' need to tweak the video settings a bit to find a good mixture of performance and quality.

 

Heh, you do notice I said 'steam streaming' right? Check out my sig . I'm looking to play on a tv and it's annoying to carry my desktop to it everytime..

I am really only concerned about rather or not it can play 4k video at 60 fps here...

 

I get it now, sorry. So you plan to stream from the desktop to the AW. In that case, I'm unsure if this can be done on your current machine. However, another user may jump in with insights about it. You could also ask in the Steam Community Forum.

 

I'm just asking, I don't have a current machine yet. And all Steam does is play a video from the original machine, if the thing can play 4k video at 60 fps that would be perfect. The problem would be configuring it.

But that's another topic. Anybody else?

 

Playing 4k shouldn't be a problem, the HTML5 player youtube uses is trash though, install the extension to use flash and you'll be sailing. i have the 980m and the HTML5 player jerks and stutters all the time. Gaming wise only a few titles will be ok at 4K unless you crank the details down. Overwatch on a 980m at 4K runs at 31fps, if you take the detail down it better or resolution scale of 67%. I prefer playing at 2K on Epic though.
