Both Nvidia and AMD are preparing for 8K: “for the human eye that resolution is close to perfection”

4K’s for wusses, I want to know about 8K.
I spoke to AMD and Nvidia to find out what they’re doing to make it happen.

I’m not asking simply to jump the gun on industry trends. Something amazing happens at 8K, as Richard Huddy, AMD’s chief gaming scientist tells me: “If we get to a display resolution of about 8k horizontally and about 6k vertically then, for a player with 20/20 vision, they will have something that is close to perfect for their visual system.”

Beyond that, the human eye wouldn’t be able to perceive any more detail on their screen. There’ll be no great race to 16K or 32K.

“That’s about 48 million pixels to fill the field of view,” Huddy explains. So it would take a card six times more powerful than a card capable of producing 4K graphics.

So, an 8K monitor would actually be receiving 16K resolution data. “If you had 16K you’d offer a perfect experience, no one would see artifacts if they had 20/20 vision,” Huddy said. “An eagle might be frustrated that it was low resolution for them but for the human eye that resolution is close to perfection.”

“8K, or anything above 4K is going to require multiple GPUs,” Scott Herkelman, Nvidia’s head of GeForce GTX told me when I asked about what would be needed for 8K. “4K for most GPUs is pretty tough, the 980 handles it well but it’s still one of those things that the more GPUs you have the better it looks.”

Here I am having problems finding a way to record in 4K and they tell me this. Heck, displaying 4K correctly is a problem.
