The take away for that though is that it isn't really possible yet to do that (4K at 144+fps), not lets buy two 1080s, because for the vast majority of games its not going to work and its basically a waste of money.
Like you say even 60fps 4k is a stretch, the take home should be that the tech isn't really there yet.
I suppose if you've got money to throw away there are worse things to do with it.
