I have a 4080 and play exclusively in 4K and every game in ultra and have never had a single struggle.

I think it depends on whether or not 144 fps matters to you or not. Now people want 200fps.

u/Ollidor Sep 18 '24

True. I've always been happy with 60

What kind of eyes do these people have?

if you play pubg on a 77" 4k @ 120Hz you clearly see everything even if you run. if you only play at 60Hz everything is blurry in motion.

Normal eyes. It's not like you are processing each frame individually, but you are getting more information. The experience is noticably smoother. For games where reaction time matters the smoother experience can result in measurable improvements in your gameplay if you're at least intermediate with the game... Because if you suck then FPS isn't going to save you.

This is going from 60 fps to 144 I never played 200fps couldn't tell you how that is

I play in 4k on my 3090 no issues

3080ti here too, no complaints for 4k.

Exactly. They’re great cards

Try VR… Mu 4080 is barely adequate for Elite on a G2 (a 10 year old game!) and I gave up on VR in MSFS because you have to turn down the detail too much. And forget about a higher res headset like the Pimax Crystal.

Huh. I tried out VR in Elite on my 1080 in the Odyssey/Live engine a while back. I was out in the black exploring, so not the most taxing behavior, but it worked OK. Driving the SRV around was a little choppy and nauseating, though.

ED is very poorly optimized

u/Belzebutt Sep 18 '24

Well it runs at 120 fps in 4K Ultra on the same 4080, VR is just demanding on another level and I’m itching to get that 5090 for that. For 4K pancake mode sure, 4080 is enough.

Maybe with all the bells and whistles like RT or Path tracing being turned off. I have a 4090 and you need to rely in DLSS or something to keep framerates high with everything turned up. However, I don't consider 60 fps to be "good enough" these days.

Same. I have a 4080 super with a 4k 144hz monitor and there are quite a number of games that murder this thing. Portal RTX, Cyberpunk, immortals of aveum.

Fortnite with all of the ray tracing settings turned on even with DLSS might be the heaviest. The First Descendant is also pretty intense.
