To your point, if you don't need max settings, then 2 780s will get ya 60 fps in 4K with seldom drops on medium settings.
Uncertain about any singular date regarding 1080p, but similar pixel densities have been around with CRT for a long time.
An old and a bit interesting example:

Well, it's not that I don't need max settings, it's simply happens to be a decent trade with frame rate and graphic quality, without having to spend an arm and a leg. And to be fair, two 780Sli@4k while mostly achieving 60fps< would probably put you very close to "low" in the graphics settings, and while the aliasing properties would be excellent @4k, it's not going to "look as good"; figuratively speaking of course.
