I couldn't play 8K without lag but then again my system is 6 years old with a 270x 2GB. I could only play 4K without screen lag. It was not network buffer lag, I have 180 Mbps down so it streamed right away. 

 

Can you play 8K without lag?

I used to be able to run 4k videos on youtube but now all of a sudden I cant go any greater than 1080p (on a 24 inch monitor). If I go any higher it just shows the video all pixelated. Its all down to your resolution on youtube now.

 

I also own a 270x as well, I dont know how your able to run 4k unless your monitor is 4k supported :lol:

I'm getting a lot of frame drop, and I'm running an 8-core amd 8350 oc to 4.8ghz and 1 evga gtx 970 with an ssd to top it off and 8gb of 1866 corsair vengeance but my monitor can't even do 4k so none of it matters anyway

I have a 1440p 32" monitor and a 27", the screen lag would be attributed to the system RAM and GPU onboard memory. @@Cylon, I would expect you to be able to run it smooth with a gtx970.

It's the monitor that can't handle it.  wouldn't make a difference even if I had  2 GTX 980 TI's in SLI, 128gb of ram, and an Intel gen5 6 core 4.0ghz processor if my monitor is only 1080p and 144mhz refresh I will not see or be able to use 4k res

I could play it in 8k just fine. 

 

Looked damn good on my 1440p screen.

 

My next screen in a few years will definitely be 4k

1080 on my phone runs really smooth, but it won't offer any higher choices. I'll try my PC when I can be arsed getting up.

Laggy video even after pre buffering, although my system monitor shows:

 

CPU max - 65%

Graphics card max - 13%

RAM max 39%

 

With the right monitor, I bet it would play.

I thought I could, but suprisingly I can't handle it.

Quality is more crisp than a fresh bag of Lays though.
