Re: Dante82, You can test 4K rendering with your current vidcard today! (see how)

>> So with this success would I be safe at a native 4K monitor?
Yes. DSR forces the vidcard to internally render the game at high resolution as if the monitor was 4K res, then it shrinks the image down to monitor's actual resolution to displaying the game. There should be no performance difference compared to a monitor with native 4K resolution (3840x2160). Except that with a 4K monitor you will get much better picture quality as it has a lot more pixels showing on screen.
This morning I found this thread about DSR 4K rendering versus actual 4K rendering. They confirm what I already knew: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/11/364040166689313959
MAME doesn't render graphics in 3D , not yet anyway (if ever). The HLSL filter is not a performance hog like PC games. If MAME is running at full speed in your tests with nVidia DSR, there's no reason to think it will run different in a native 4K monitor.
Still, if you run a heavier MAME game you can always lower the game resolution to 2560x1440.
I'm a PC gamer an run all newer PC games at 2560x1440 as my GTX 970 vidcard is not powerful for 4K res ("GTA5 PC" and "Watch Dogs"), but it run older games at 4K res in full speed like "GTA Vice City / San Andreas", "Thief 4", "Dishonored" and the newest "Hitman" game.
