How did you upload this to youtube without getting the black borders above and below? My 1440 vids get black borders lol

[@NateFord]

I'm so glad I finally looked up reviews for my resolution. All these thousands of videos and articles about 1440p and 4K and neither really applies to us playing 3440x1440. Awesome video. Thank you!

[@casualjay909]

21:9 is the superior way to experience gaming

[@TheCoolGamerrx]

@Transistor Jump most games that are coming out all have true ultrawide support. If not downloading a fix isn’t hard and makes it well worth it.

[@RicochetForce]

No joke, switching back to 16:9 by accident (or seeing gameplay videos of games in that aspect ratio) makes it feel like I'm looking through a narrow window. People like casually throwing around immersive, but goddam having your peripheral vision like that really pulls you in.

[@Zombiesmoker]

@Transistor Jump i play alot of games, never played a game that doesnt support ultrawide. Have 100+ games.

[@pvlshka]

@Transistor Jump no one cares what u do, just shut up and play

[@josemartinez280]

@@Zombiesmokerthen you haven’t played elden ring my friend. Of course it had to be a game like elden ring that wouldn’t support ultrawide, oh well I can always pretend I’m not seeing the black bars when playing in the dark.

[@-MaxMax]

I am really grateful that you do uwqhd benchmarks, because I preferred this resolution since 5 years and am currently considering whether to get an rtx4080/7900xtx. I also think it's great that you include ray tracing in native resolution W/O dlss/fsr.

[@ForksUpFam]

Impressed 1440 ultrawide pushes the 4080 pretty good !

[@kingwooly6211]

Thank you so much for the ultrawide benchmarks!

[@-Rizecek-]

I'm thinking that I'll personally start playing games without DLSS because the quality of the DLSS is completely different in each game and it's annoying me. In one game DLSS will give you a better picture and in another it will completely ruin it. For example Spider-man, Crysis remaster... And now DLSS 3.0 and its ghosting effect. So where have we moved from native resolution? Fake fps and image. I'm not saying that DLSS is bad in every game, but I don't know why the quality looks completely different in every game. While moving, you don't really notice it, but when you stop, you can see a flickering, blurry image...

[@meow6023]

That's why i move away from 4k and got a 4090. Just plain raster max out nothing to worry about

[@Lennox032]

@@meow6023 best way, these should crush 4k native with raytracing for the price they are asking, without any DLSS trickery.

[@shortypwnsu4152]

bear in mind that the ghosting effect is usually from frame generation, disable that but leave dlss on quality to deal with the ghosting.

[@RicochetForce]

Damn, the 4080 is handling Ultrawide 1440p like a champ.

[@MrMatejulc]

well for a 1200 USD card....

[@kseries1981]

Not sure about that. Doesn't even reach 144 fps in most games without DLSS.

[@RicochetForce]

@@kseries1981 Err, what's the problem here? DLSS is consistently better than native rendering in most games, and a damn sight better than the TAA offered in most. As someone who's been playing games since the late 80s I can understand some folks having difficulty decoupling the old belief that native rendering res > upscaling techniques. These AI and machine learning based techniques are better than the old approaches that led to ugly as fuck pixel crawling and other scaling artifacts. And here's another tip that you likely already know: Ultra Preset is for screenshots, High Preset is for actually playing the game. And most cards gain a strong performance uplift from dropping one rung down. Ultra Settings have been things that result in unoptimized settings or those with extremely diminishing returns for the performance tax they exact on the card. This is why RT is not worth enabling until it passes a substantial visual impact threshold, for example.

[@Lennox032]

@@MrMatejulc Dissapointed in the performance for a £1200 card , it shouldn't need DLSS in any game if your paying that much it should be able to handle native resolution with DLSS, every pixel counts .

[@cydonia9342]

@@RicochetForce DLSS 2.0, you are thinking of. 3.0 is a hot mess not ready for competitive gaming.

[@thomasmachado357]

Thank you so much for this benchmark, but one question: If the NVIDIA offers a new DLSS technology and I'm paying for it, why don't you use it? increase a lot of FPS

[@RandomIdeas963]

i was expecting to see the same thing tbh

[@cutipustotallus307]

UW benchmarks AND for new and relevant games (not the same 10 year old games that testers use all the darn time like Tomb Raider and GTA V). UPVOTED AND SUBSCRIBED!

[@Allennn-yb5cp]

Great video! Been looking for 4080 benchmarks with RT on but DLSS off. If I game on a 16:9 monitor (1440p), will fps increase? If so, anyone know by how much?

[@samuel_f1244]

Yeah your pc is rendering 1.300.000 pixels less (3.600.000) than 3440×1440 (4.900.000) that should be 15-25% more fps in average.

[@Beeterfish]

That Flight Simulator performance with FG at the end was really impressive.

[@shbddh]

Please, make comparison with 7900 xtx in wqhd, if you will get it :)

[@Orlyy]

What does this get in CP2077 with RT off and FG on?

[@Adam-xb8xh]

What a beast the 4080 is. Only game that disappoints is cyberpunk being unable to hit 60, nothing DLSS quality can’t fix though

[@anitaremenarova6662]

Now Alan Wake 2 is the most recent $1200-2000 GPU killer.

[@jorgemadrigal911]

dam, looks like I'll need a rtx 4090 to run this size monitor. Thanks for the benchmarks!

[@UbanGerd]

Nice video. Made my monitor buying decision easier.

[@P3sc1o]

will you do a 4070 ti ultrawide video?

[@BENCHMARKSFORGAMERS]

Yes 👍

[@Henrique-wv9xq]

the performance of these cards is so embarassing with DLSS off. I miss when companies advertised the cards raw performance, without upscaling or frame generation bs

[@justfun5479]

Great video as usual.

[@BravoSixGoingDark]

Ahh the card that so many buyers shun away in the PC market currently.

[@jaredweiman2987]

Is not a bad card. Just expensive for a lot of people. So is the 4090 though.

[@BravoSixGoingDark]

@@jaredweiman2987 Yup...

[@cruelladevil9022]

What do you think about DLSS? I don't notice any difference with MFS in the video. With Darktide, on the other hand, the image looks significantly blurrier :/

[@theyoungjawn]

If you don’t play the game in person, a compressed KZbin video won’t look better.

[@cruelladevil9022]

@@theyoungjawn Thats why I asked :D

[@masterlee1988]

@@cruelladevil9022 It seems to vary on the game. I heard it can be better for some and worse for others due to blurriness, sharpening and flickering.

[@RicochetForce]

@@masterlee1988 So basically the same issue DLSS has always had. For example, Forza Horizon's DLSS implementation has odd artifacts while other games it's basically flawless.

[@masterlee1988]

@@RicochetForce Yep, it seems to be game dependent due to how it's implemented from the devs themselves.

[@jeanc3950]

Nice, just what i was waiting for.

[@JamieReynolds89]

I noticed 3440x1440p isn't as bottlenecked as the 2560x1440p benchmarks I've seen. I was wondering if this was the case when I saw videos on 2560x1440p benchmarks so thank you for your video. Appreciate it. Subbed!

[@schebeschmototv8387]

Do you have a gameplay with a resolution of 5120x1440 ultra wide?

[@furkansantimci9240]

I have the same features and I am very satisfied. I have a gigabyte g34wq monitor. It is really sufficient.

[@kurenai6586]

I want to get a 4080 but the 4090 is such a big performance jump but it’s so expensive idk what to do

[@anitaremenarova6662]

Wait and get the 4080S with better performance and for cheaper or the 4070tiS for the same performance as a 4080 but even cheaper.

[@fidelcrisis]

can you make video with Ultra, RTX with DLSS/FSR on?

This benchmarking methodology is so strange. You use dlss in some games and not in others. Also not showing benchmarks with dlss is taking away the biggest advantage of the 4000 series. Disappointing

[@RicochetForce]

@@masterlee1988 Look up more Ultrawide gameplay videos. Hell, put them side by side with their 16:9 counterparts. It doesn't do justice to what you see in person, but that extra information (it's 50% wider than a 1440p standard res output) really helps.

[@masterlee1988]

@@RicochetForce Oh yeah I look up ultrawide videos often and makes me interested but you are right and I definitely want to experience it myself in person within months from now. I really can't wait as well.

[@pk.002]

Don't knock it until you try it, I came from 16:9 format and will never go back to it. I only use that resolution if I'm forced to in a title, like in Valorant where 21:9 is not supported.
