Recently, Frank Azor -one of the bigwigs at AMD- pointed out that the
vast bulk of PC gamers (and even more with consoles) still play in HD
resolutions rather than $K or higher. Close to 60% of gamers on Steam
still have 1080p monitors. Many of the most-played games don't even
use the added RAM necessary for HD. As such, Azor says, AMD's primary
focus won't be on catering to the UHD/4K gamer, but to the larger
market where 4-8GB VRAM are sufficient.
 

I feel the same about TV/Streaming/Movies and such.  HD is just fine,
I'm not shelling out for the overpriced 4K TVs and re-buying all my
DVDs/Blu-Rays for 4K discs.  Most people can't even see a difference
between HD and 4K.

Hell I don't even buy Blu-Ray if DVD is an option - I literally see no
difference between them, so 4K Ultra was never in consideration.

Maybe if I had one of those huge-ass TVs I'd see a difference, but the
39" I have, you see none.
