Like the title says. I have a current gen 15" retina MacBook Pro and I am in the market for a new display.
Can my laptop drive a 4k display or?

from what I have read Yes
BUT right now it is limited to 30hz, which is fine for maybe watching a movie or just viewing pictures, but as soon as you need a mouse it feels laggy. However, if I remember right, this seems to be a software limitation and should get fixed soon. Furthermore I think I read that 60hz do work on windows (bootcamp)

If anyone would send me a 4K display I could try it on a Iris Pro only modelSo sounds like only the late 15 rMBP with dGPU will be able to drive a 4K display at 60Hz after Nvidia updates the driver, since, well obviously the Iris Pro won't be able to use Nvidia's drivers? Can anyone confirm?
Fortunately I have the Nvidia model so it's looking good.
So I would be looking at a scaled resolution the same way I run my laptop screen. As in I run it scaled one step up from the retina resolution. I assume this will be the same for an external screen?
The price drops come as the market for 4K desktop displays begins to gain steam Apple's Haswell-based MacBook Pros support 4K output over Thunderbolt, and the company's all-new Mac Pro can drive up to 3 of the ultra-high resolution monitors.
