Definitely make sure your GPU supports 8k at reasonable refresh rates before buying anything. During the early days of 4k, monitor makers would get a lot of unhappy customers who learned the hard way that their macbook only does 4k at 30hz.
Thanks. I remember wondering about that on my last major upgrade over a decade ago. I’ve currently got a 3070, which isn’t going to be doing any 8k native gaming for sure, but will run my office apps at 8k/60.
I admit the resolution seems a wee bit ridiculous for most things, but I work in architecture and regularly need to cross reference 2 or 3 D size/A1 prints simultaneously. 8k wide lets me (just barely) read fine print on two sets without zooming in, but even 30 Hz is perfectly acceptable.
