People who claim they are running games on 60fps MAX on cards like a GTX 960 or 970 or 380 are lying to themselves.
To actually run a lot of games with every single setting cranked up as far as it goes and still get > 60 fps you still need top of the line card.
>>55029742
awoo~
>>55029859
And I'm referring to playing at 1920x1080 resolution.
I'm planning on getting a GTX 1070 and a 1080p/144hz monitor. Is it overkill? Anyway I'd rather go for that over a 60hz 1440p panel.
>>55029859

>>55029859
I have the 980ti and I still play in 1080p.
>>55029882

Considering you would need 144 fps to make full use of that, a 1070 would well suited to it.
>>55029742
I do this but with a 1366x768 smart tv and a crt monitor 1280x1024
>>55029893
Crysis is a fucking old game. Try it with Crysis 3 and every single menu setting turned all the way up. You'll get a frame rate in the 30s.
>>55029859
Depends on the game. I have a 380 4GB and commonly play BF4 multiplayer with FPS ranging between 100 to 144 where I have it capped. Newer games corrupted by shillworks and stuff like that need not apply.

>>55029961
It's accomplishing the same thing but I guess I agree. 4K is a meme at the sizes typical for PC monitors.
>>55029930
No, I'm not. You don't need 16x anti-aliasing to play games, but the option is there in many games.
In fact at 1080p you could flick between 4x and 8x MSAA screenshots and you would be -extremely- hard pressed to see any difference. It's 99% placebo and a waste of processing power.
But if you want MAX SETTINGS EVERYTHING TO THE RIGHT at 1080p you still need a big card.
And of course there are things like Nvidia Hairworks and TressFX that need a strong GPU no matter what resolution you're running at.
>>55029742
Dark Souls 3 requires a GTX 970 to hit 60 fps at 1080p. Not sure if you call that a high-end card. I would.
>>55029825
>being this new
>>55029742
Gtx 970, uses it to play garrys mod on a 1080p monitor
>>55029950
That game is very well optimized from what I've read, and it is the epitome of AAA so it is designed to run well on toasters.
However, I'm still not convinced you are doing this with every setting cranked as far as possible.

>>55030161
That's in some single player benchmark that all of the sites use which is not at all indicative of actual in game results. In actual use I'm usually up around 120-144 using the game's very own FPS counter, with settings as high as they will go, not including supersampling of course. It is being pushed by a 5820k, so that may account for some of the "bonus" performance I seem to get from it.

I want to be a normal person like everyone else and join in and play video games like all normal people do, so I got a stupid expensive computer and put Windows on, but I am struggling using Windows and I'm trying to download games on it but it takes forever. And I am rubbish at playing games anyway and I don't think people would hate me any less or want to play games with me now. Gentoo kind of works at least and I can read emails and talk to people on IRC who hate me and browse /g/ really smoothly. And I got Portal 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 and Minecraft on Gentoo, which is plenty of games really.
I don't actually know what games it is people play which need all these fancy graphics cards.

I don't understand what's the point of getting a very high end card, made for 1440p/4k at maybe 60-45fps if the game's settings are going to be lower to have better framerate. With 1080p you get the best resolution, it won't matter what settings you pick, and it will last you more than 4 years with that card on a 1080p monitor.
>>55032153
>this fabricated gibberish
There is no person on the face of the earth who has installed Gentoo and also struggles to use Windows at the same time.
>>55035487
Installing Gentoo is easy and actually does what it's supposed to, except for when you have a mess of broken and blocked packages. Windows is horrible and has an awful UI and nothing works as it's supposed to. Even installing Windows is a horrible experience and is pretty much impossible.

>>55029742
Just because you can run the game at 1440p with a "1440p card" doesn't mean you'll enjoy the frame rate tanking to 30s on heavy scenes loaded with FX.
if the 1080p monitor is 144hz, then you are making good use of your graphics card

Is it really that farfetched to have not used Windows in such a long time that everything about it feels awkward and unintuitive?
I did actually waste several days trying to install Windows 10 under UEFI + GPT, which doesn't work at all since the Windows installer is buggy and it's very difficult to get even the slightest clue as to what's gone wrong. On this same computer, I installed Gentoo without issue in GPT with UEFI, and it all worked smoothly and my custom kernel config worked almost straight away and it can run Second Life fine with nvidia drivers with all the graphics settings all the way up.
I'm almost getting used to Windows now, but it's an ugly hack of programs which don't quite work perfectly just to do simple things like moving and resizing a floating window without having to drag tiny thin borders around the windows, and having actual usable workspaces. (Native Windows 10 workspaces are kind of disappointing.)

Define max
I know its a stupid thing to say, but we have all see games where there is no difference between low and high visually, but you can see a massive performance hit (fallout 4 god rays for one, several games textures from high to ultra have no difference, just using an uncompressed version which eats ram but has next to no visual improvement. or games where things are rendered so far away from the player that they realistically could not see the speck on their screen without a magnifying glass and a higher then 4k resolution.
I have a 280x, most games i play i can easily max, and thanks to me not liking how some graphic settings look (soft shadows for one) i get to turn down processor intense things and at least for me, get a better over all looking game.
>>55037951
nope, you got a point for 1 over 2, but 3 looks better then 1, however i believe 1 to still be the better game, also, does 3 have a physics engine like 1 had?
>>55029742
nothing runs 4k maxed single card without frame dips.
I would much rather push 60fps everything rather then get some hardware based aa.
even then, i would rather push 1080p120/144 rather than push the resolution.
little brother just got a 1440 144 monitor, the difference is night and day as far as refresh goes between his side by side old 60hrz, but the resolution difference, i honestly don't notice it at all.

This is how I feel about running at 1440p.
In terms of jaggies, I usually can't tell the difference between 1080p with anti-aliasing, and 1440p with no anti-aliasing.

I've been thinking of upgrading to 1440p since I need a new monitor and 4K is in its infancy, but I'm worried about the scaling of 1080p content. Do you find things that were designed for 1080p looking blurry at all?
>>55041294

>>55042374
I refuse to use windows scaling options because it makes everything look like I need glasses. High quality videos looks fine, it's only streaming media like youtube where I notice a drop in quality.
>>55042421
Thank, as long as it's bearable I guess it should be too bad. 1440p it is.
>>55030078
Dark Souls 3 has a fuck ton of optimization problems through
>>55042374
4K = 4x 1080 so the scaling is perfect.
a 24 inch 4K monitor with an 1080p image scaled will look the same as a native 1080p 24 inch monitor
>>55042583
It's better than bearable. It's downright great.
>>55042663
That's why I made the post, I've been considering a 1440p monitor since it will be a few years before 4K monitors settle in price and quality, but I was concerned about scaling content to a non-multiple resolution. I was just asking how bad the scaling looks.
>>55042720
it depends on your scaling, but think of it like this, since the pixels themselves are becoming so small will you really notice if a pixel is in the wrong spot or not ?
When the pixels are big (1080p display) you notice these things, when the pixels are much smaller (4K and up) it becomes harder and harder to notice individual pixles being in the wrong place/scaled incorrectly.
I would say go for the 4K monitor instead, it is becoming the next standard for media
I've got a 4K monitor, playing games at 1080 just make things look more 'blurry' but really that is because the representation of what a pixel is are 4x bigger at 1080.

But when I buy a 4K monitor I want to invest in something great that I can use for years. I'm just not sure if it's worth it yet. 1440p monitors are getting pretty cheap now due to 4K, so I've been considering getting one for the next year or two.
My last monitor (lg ips236v-pn) now 'belongs' to my ex-wife, so I've been using a 13" Cinteq for the past four months. I need a new screen, so I'm not too bothered if it's a 'temporary' one.

I want a 1440p monitor but I'd probably still run games at 1080p because I want to make sure I have over 60fps no matter what.
I've considered a 144hz monitor but my friend talks about how he can't play so many games because some are locked at 60fps or the animations are at least and its all ruined for him now. Doesn't seem worth it.
