YouTube has improved a lot in a short while, first we get support for 4K resolution and 1080p60 support, then 360 virtual reality and now, the streaming service is ready to roll out 4K 60 FPS videos, imagine that, you’ll be able to watch your favorite K-Pop music videos and CS:GO gameplay in a super high resolution with smooth motion close to real life, but the question here is, can your PC or laptop handle it?

4K or UHD (Ultra High Definition) consist 4 times the pixels of a standard Full HD display, while most modern PC’s with discrete graphics card will be able to play 4K 24-30fps videos without much issues, 60 FPS is going to be a challenge for those who both have integrated and discrete graphics card, even my personal rig that comes with a Core i5 processor and GeForce GTX960 have difficulties in processing the video as you can see in the screenshot above.

If you think your rig is powerful enough to process the ultra high def and smoohth videos or your 4K Smart TV should also be able to play them, try these videos down below.
