Happy to see you upload a 3440x1440 benchmark for the 4090!

[@Cruor34]

Thanks for covering this. After buying a 3440x1440 years ago it actually blows my mind that more people don't play on wide screens. Its the first time I can remember the marking hype of "more immersive" actually being true.

[@AntDknator]

For longest time, I didn't want to get ultrawide due to the game support.=. However, I saw the alienware qd oled and got it due to how beautiful the screen is. At first, i thought ultrawide was alright since I was playing at 4k 144hz on pg27uq. However after going back to 16:9, games felt so squareish like you looking through a window. With ultrawide, I felt so immerse in my games. Definately better than 4k imo and immersive as fuck.

[@jonboy2950]

Ive been playing at ultrawide resolutions for a number of years now and there is no way i would go back to 16:9 aspect ratios. Im hoping that monitor development will now go in the direction of offering more vertical space for widescreens.

[@gimmy2294]

I'm used to 4:3 so for me 16:9 is wide. I like to look up and down too. Most ultra21 are also curved.

[@Rockett.]

If you're not hitting the maximum refresh rate then it's not overkill. Honestly think 1% lows is the number you want to be closest to your monitors max refresh rate for an actual smooth consistent gaming experience.

[@RicochetForce]

Bingo. Get performance so the gap between average and 1% lows is small, and try to get the 1% low as close to the max refresh of your display as possible. It leads to a beautifully eerie smooth gameplay experience.

Thx for this, i have an ultrawide monitor with 3440*1440 - 120Hz and a 4090. Only a bit upset with Cyberpunk, if you active DLSS (thinking on improve fps) you reduce gpu usage with 0 performance impact, maybe DLSS 3.0 solve this.

If want to do 2k gaming without ray tracing then it is overkill but if you to do 2k with ray tracing then it is not overkill for 2k and 4k

[@adolfocarlo7043]

Is the perfect GPU for our Alienware QDLELd setup. Best monitor around by far BTW ;)

[@MR-gv4bv]

Never though some gonna use metal hellsinger for their benchmark

[@joshuademonslayer]

So smooth gameplay just wow ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ThePhenoix504FI3D1]

add this combo with oled and it will be a gaming bless

[@Amfibios]

hmmm how come both the CPU and GPU are underutilized in Flight Simulator? Where's the bottleneck?

[@KGReef]

With how hard next gen games look to run. I think the 4090 is just right.

[@bobvila4381]

Hilarious how all the plebs try to say that 4090 takes a nuclear reactor when its usually using less power then a 3090 with 2x performance...

[@RicochetForce]

They've read a narrative on the product on another site and are mindlessly repeating it, ignoring that the 40 series is freakishly efficient.

[@ConstantieE]

or the fact that when most of those people using DLSS which reduce rendering and that automatically means less draw prower.

[@RicochetForce]

@@ConstantieE Yup, it's also what der Bauer mentioned. DLSS Quality has gotten to the point where you have to pixel peep in most games to tell the difference from native but it nets you lower power use and higher FPS. People DESPERATELY want these expensive products to be awful in someway to justify the story they have in their heads about them.

[@TheCrazedEB]

I feel like once you're able to push games to 120+fps mark consistently, you truly do not need to upgrade parts for years.

[@maxthegamer]

Seems like its perfect for 3440x1440

[@j.c.denton2312]

if you use rt, this is far from overkill but if you don't use rt 4080 or 7900xt is prob the better choice

[@aadnew]

thanks... more of this please ....

[@ferencdavid1763]

In Cyberpunk why didn't you use dlss? I was wondering how many fps you would have had instead of 60

[@tribad4190]

Thanks you 🙏

[@nanezferrer3565]

Perfect new LG ultragear 1440p 240 hz OLED

[@asysjr]

yes, very overkill. this card can do 7680x2160 (with dlls in quality).

[@Jsanity117]

CP 2077 at absolute max with no DLSS and it’s 57 avg fps? Wow that’s very playable. How’s turning on DLSS? Even quality or balanced would improve it to maybe 70-80.

[@vash_dakari]

I have a 4080, and at 3440x1440, CP2077 absolute max runs at 70-80 on DLSS quality. So, I imagine the 4090 is even better. Why would I get a 4080 you ask? Due to a misfortunate event with my old PC (lightning hitting a tree just outside the house, causing damaged electronics in the house, and covered by homeowners insurance) the 4080 became the "upgrade." Would have preferred the 4090 (that was the plan) but other expenditures involved with the lightning damage, plus the insurer covering "like for like" replacements, ends our story with a 4080. On the upside, it also meant a new CPU, hello 13900k. On the downside, still had to pay a deductible. All that said, the 4080 is a good card at 21:9, most games easily hit the 120 refresh rate of my AW3418DW. It's also the FE card, which has the same heatsink as the 4090, so the card runs cool, and quiet (temps are usually in the low 60's). The frequency is rock steady.

Grazie

[@eeyoree9939]

Depends on the game - f.e. CP 2077 & Control without frame generation still not there for solid 4k 120hz Overall it is a 4k card, so yes - an overkill for 1440p.

[@Mustang1984]

it's ultrawide too though, closer to 4k in the amount of pixels.

[@eeyoree9939]

@@Mustang1984 Kind of, but not really: It's 8.2 million vs 4.9 million pixels == 1.67x difference between them. It's less than comparing UHD vs HD (2x), but still not insignificant.

[@Timur4593]

True, Its still not a true 4k card @native res. Probably next gen will be an actual 4k gpu.

[@eeyoree9939]

@@Timur4593 agreed, native not there yet. That's why I mentioned some examples in my first comment.

[@TheTyphoon365]

Is literally perfect for this resolution, you'll be able to max this for many years to come above 144hz hopefully

[@Superb_Legend]

Not really when some of these games already dropping to 100 or less

[@TheTyphoon365]

@@Superb_Legend all the more reason to avoid 4k

[@Redlance101]

​@@Superb_Legendthat is completely dependent on the CPU bottlenecking. This happens in open world games quite often. It's not a GPU problem in the few games you see dropping frames here. It's actually rather the CPU

[@HansLotap]

Ultrawide is the best for 3rd person open world games

[@ZenTunE-]

Not overkill if you can afford it now and plan on keeping it for years. Pretty optimal.

[@Oniichan7uu7]

MFS Ultra with GPU at 50%? 👀

[@904_noah]

Well metal hellsinger is a copy of doom 😂

[@Ant-De-Great]

YEEESSS BRO been waiting for a vid like this couldnt trust them other ones😒😒😒

Ultrawide is the way

[@starc.]

until you reach 45-55" monitor sizes, then its back to 16:9

[@njpme]

CPU just chilling

[@HalfLife333]

Note that this guy has AM5 motherboard with DDR5.

[@Hello-mu1et]

finally a 4k gaming

[@opmike343]

Some games still struggling to hit the refresh rate of even entry level gaming ultrawides. Not overkill at all. It's amazing how well optimized the Id engine in Doom Eternal is.

[@SrCrosoldier]

Can't put myself to think that RTX 4090 can't even reach solid 200fps on any game that ist Doom Eternal. Having a 32:9 monitor, will last another decade before Nvidia or AMD release a GPU that can reach 240fps on all games
