How well does substance Painter scale with the GFX hardware? How much polygons and 4K textures could Substance painter push with the upcoming Pascal Titan/TI graphics cards and still be responsive? Say these new graphics cards are 30-40% faster than the 1080GTX and have 16GB memory? I also need to say I am working in 4K so that also subtracts from the performance.
I am asking because I am thinking about learning MARI, but I would rather use Substance. And especially since Substance Painter can handle larger data sets now that it also supports UDIM and 8K export.

There is no limit to the number of texture sets you can have (700 is the actual limit I think) but the more you have the more Painter will have to swap things in memory and the tool will get slower.
But with the amount of memory on a 1080, you should be fine.
