PC's can output 4k and imo that's the biggest draw to 4k units out now like the VIzio 50 inch for a grand. However most units out now max out 30hz.
There is a user here that uses a player that upsamples 1080p video to 4k.

The player upscaling to 4k is no different than the display doing it.
As far as PC content can you do dual HDMI out?

There are GPUs that have native 4K output capability. I have a few myself. I can send that 4K stream (with actual 4K content, not upscaled) to 4K monitors available today. I do it with my Seiki all the time. You don't need dual HDMI either.

Well it's more like a 4k video processor vs simple upscaling taking advantage of the processor on a really powerful PC. Apparently it's incredibly processor demanding.
HDMI 1.4 allows 4k at 30hz which is sufficient for video. But not necessarily for gaming.
There's some talk about Nvidia allowing 4k @ 60hz by compressing some color.
The geforce 980 is an HDMI 2.0 card.

There are some tv's out now that have firmware upgradable promised in the future to 2.0 HDMI ports.

^^Unfortunately, we're going to need more robust flexible scaling. Look at those tiny icons.
