Don't need big video by today's standards, so my card seems "elite".

 So it was "a fairly nice [feature] to have support for four 4K monitors, but too expensive...
 ...and now suddenly your card is "elite" for being able to do one?

Seems that Joel's 'high end/elite' scale is a sliding one which myopically only considers his personal situation, not the state of the PC Industry.
And even prior to 4K, dual display support has been quite common for years:  I had it on my 'daily driver' work setup since ~2010.
