Just wondering from those of you who have used both extensively specifically while gaming, which do you prefer? I have never actually gamed in 4k,but ive seen it up close and as amazing it looks i don't know if id drop 3d for it.
So just wanting to hear your opinions.

Personally, I find 3D gaming much more compelling than 2D gaming - even with 4K resolutions. For example, I find 1080p 3D MUCH more immersive than 2160p 2D in games like Call of Duty Advanced Warfare (tested with Sony and LG UHD TV displays, Ignition with AMD R9-290X, 60 fps).

I think it'd largely depend on your priorities.
As whyme says, you already know the answer in a way, because you already know what a step up in resolution feels like.
Try dropping a game from 3d to 2d, and then from 1080p to 720p, and see which feels worse to you.
I know myself that resolution is about #5 on my priority list, after smooth framerate, anti aliasing, graphical settings, and 3d. I often turn down the resolution so that I can have those other things (I sometimes even turn off 3d and/or sli so I can get a smoother framerate). 4k will hurt all of those things, so it holds almost zero interest to me. But whether it's worth it for you will depend on your priorities, I guess.

3d vision easily. I find 4k gaming a case of diminishing returns. Give me 1080p in 3d at a constant 60fps anyday

1080p vs 2160p (4K), it's more of something you already have plenty of, resolution, with diminishing returns.
Today I've been playing Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin DX11 edition. 3D doesn't work, so I've been playing it on my native 1080p projector (Benq W1070) rendered in 2D 4K downsampled with DSR. Without a doubt, the image looks good and is extremely clean with almost no aliasing. GTX 970.
Still, I prefer the 720p 3D image I got with the DX9 version with my older graphics card (560Ti). I even more prefer the 720p 3D image I got rendering in 1080p 3D downsampling with GeDoSato.
Basically, even with 4K rendering, you're still missing a basic element of vision: stereoscopy (3D). Despite ultra resolution, it's still obviously 2D and missing an essential component. It's like asking which is better, 4K black&white or 1080p/720p color? Definitely color/3D.

I can't think of any situation (other than a game being flat out broken in 3D) where I would prefer 4k over 3D, and its for all the reasons already mentioned.
It's like asking if I would like clearer vision at the expense of depth perception in real life, and the answer will always be a resounding "no thanks".
My preference at the moment would be for 1440 3D at steady framerates, but my 980 and ROG SWIFT aren't quite up to the task yet. I'm currently trying to make up my mind about a pair of Titan X cards, but then there is the issue of the ROG SWIFT not supporting titles in SLI 3D...

I agree 1440p 3D > 4k. I have the Rog Swift and I do love the 3D experience on it. I have found a few games that are working with SLI (980's) on it with 3d vision. Metro Last Light, Max Payne 3.. I'm sure there are several more. However there are many games that "work" but do not use the 2nd card in SLI and thus have lower framerates. One game I wish that would be fixed is Watch Dogs.. Only using 1 card, and might have microstuttering as well.
I don't think as things are now I would recommend 2 Titan X for this reason. I'm debating selling my 2 980's and getting a single Titan X for those reasons. Then when a single card is better sell it and buy one again.. 3d vision is my prefered way to play any and all games. Perhaps things will change with Windows 10.

You have few people right here who plays 3D games in 4K and above and they all using it in 3D. Ask everyone who use 3D Surround that is from 5K to 6K i guess.

Although, HDTV 4K is 8K by that definition. Cause a 4K HDTV is pushing over 8 million pixels. An SLI of 1080P X 3 is "only" 6 million pixels.

I while in 4K can not play in 3D because the lack of power needed yet, I prefer since then play in HD FULL 3D before 4K. The immersión of the 3D it exceeds 4K. Even games in DX9 as the Witcher 1 played in 3D I like so much more than not play in 4K as it remains to play in 2D and depth.

If you love to play your games when they realese , i think the 4K option is better for you.
Because its take some time to play the game in real 3D (2-4 months for a fix).
Most of the games realese these days lack of 3d vision support.
4K support you are getting from the first day.
