It depends on the card, rather than simply not being able to use them. Fairly recently, madshi implemented some optimizations for 2x and 3x scaling, specifically for 4K displays. (2x 1080p and 3x 720p = 4K)

Current GPUs can't  support 4k at greater than I believe 30hz. The standard certainly is not going to be that.   I'm not sure when HDMI 2.0 or whatever the next version is, will be available. That's when I'll become interested in 4k.

DisplayPort can do it. I'm not sure about whether DisplayPort to HDMI adapters will work for HDMI 2.0 displays.
It's a shame that the computer industry is moving towards DisplayPort/Thunderbolt, while the television industry is sticking to HDMI. I have little experience with DisplayPort, but HDMI sucks as an interface.

I don't believe display port is going to be a viable option in the current generation. HDCP, content protection has also been changed for the 4K standard. You will need HDCP 2.2  with 4K protected material. All the displays and projectors will have HDCP 2.2 for Ultra HD material. So even though, Display Port can transmit 4K, the current generation will not have the correct HDCP 2.2.
