Hi man. In November I was upgrading my PC. I was in doubt between a 32" 16:9 1440p or a 34" 21:9 1440p. I was using a 24" 16:9. I chose the 32" 1440p because it would give me a larger image and I'm very happy. The 34" would give me an image the size of a 27" d but with more information on the sides. But adding some things that I learned in my research (they may have already told you here, so sorry if it's repetitive). The 34" ultrawide is the same as a 27" but with more area on the sides. As 1440p resolution is the most recommended for a 27", this is also the most recommended for a 34" ultrawide (they have the same ppi). More recommended because if you opt for 4k you will be losing performance but not gaining much more sharpness. The 34" monitor is the same height as a 27", and if it is 1440p, it will also have the same ppi. The 32" (16:9) is taller and a little less wide than the 34". My 32" is 1440p. In this configuration (2K), it has the same ppi as a 24 FHD monitor, that is, a 32" 1440p has the same sharpness as a 24" FHD. I believe you already know, but it doesn't hurt to write in case anyone else is interested. Monitor has some features that make the choice more complicated than it seems: - Inches: 24", 27", 32", 34"...(which is the diagonal measurement of the screen) - height and width: The largest inch does not always mean greater height or width - resolution: FHD, 1440p, 4K... this, associated with the screen size, will give you the ppi - ppi: the higher it is, the greater the sharpness and greater VGA consumption. (sorry for any personal errors. Any errors, please correct me) I'll put up some videos that helped me and some photos comparing my 24" with the 32". It may not help you much, but it may help other interested parties. 24" 53 x 29.5 = 1,563.5cm² 27" 60 x 33.5 = 2,010cm² (28.5% larger than 24') 31.5" 70 x 39.2 = 2,744cm² (75.5% larger than 24'; 36% larger than 27') 34" 80 x 33.5 = 2,680cm² Pixels: FHD --- 2,073,600 QHD --- 3,686,400 - 77.7% more pixels than FHD. UWQHD - 4,953,600 - 34.3% more pixels than QHD. 4K --- 8,264,400 - 67% more pixels than UWQHD. Video comparing the 32" with the 34" PPI table I put the DCS in FHD and windowed mode to compare the image size of a 24" FHD monitor with the size of a 32", because 24" was my monitor. I used the DCS zoom to scale the image as close to the FHD image above to see how much image (information) it would gain. Image without changing the zoom, showing how much larger the image is on the 32" compared to the 24". Attention. When thinking about a larger or smaller image, it does not mean greater or lesser sharpness. Sharpness is a mix between screen size and resolution. The image below (32" and 1440p) is larger but with the same sharpness as a 24" in FHD. Difference in size (area) of a 32" and a 24".

Hi dude! I think at 4k with the 4070 Ti you will have to reduce some of the settings to run smooth. I recently got my 4070 Ti. I'm using it with an i7 12700k and 64Gb ram. I built this PC thinking about running 2k. To me it's perfect. I'm getting, close to the ground, with the AH-64, in Syria, an average of 80 and 90 fps 99.9% of the time, with everything at maximum, without needing to use DLSS, using MSAA 4x. In the sky, I easily get above 100. However, over Baghdad or very dense cities and flying the AH-64 with FLIR and TADS turned on, it drops to around 40 and 50 fps. With they off, 70 fps. If I use DLAA (without DLSS), my performance up around 20%, some time 30% more. Another thing. These tests were all in multiplayer. At all times, all 12Gb of VRAM are used and more 40Gb RAM in some servers. So I think for 4k you will have to reduce the settings. Maybe with DLAA with DLSS you won't need it. But if I thought about 4k, I would point to a 4080 if you want to play with everything at max. My opinion. What I can guarantee is that for 2k it is great for the 4070 Ti. Let's see if anyone comes up with another 4070 Ti running at 4k to give us a real look. Seeya! ps: my topic created about my new PC: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/335211-one-more-building-a-new-pc-rtx-4070-and-2k/

4YA server, MSAA 2x, thunderstorm. ps: anti-aliasing transparency supersample 2x. Over Beirut 60 FPS. In the surroundings, 80/90 FPS. TADS on...51 FPS. FLIR and TADS on...43. Pushing the 4070Ti in the most hard scenarios. In general, I have noticed that MSAA 2x has given between 15% and 20% more performance than 4x, and DLAA (without DLSS) between 30% and 35%. When I use DLAA I prefer not to use DLSS because I think it is less blurry than using DLSS.

One more test. Today, again in multiplayer, 4YA server. However, instead of using DLSS, I used MSAA at 4x (all settings in max). Again, the fps were lower especially when in the AH-64 with the FLIR and TADS turned on, over cities, or when in the F-18 with the TGP turned on. ps: anti-aliasing transparency supersample 2x TGP and ground radar on... TGP on... ...over city... Drop fps due to TGP turned on... ...over city... TADS on... TADS and FLIR on... (room temperature: 23ºC) Seeya!

Thanks dude! ..continuing the analyzes (with each group of photos I improve the way of showing the data kkkkkk...now with MSI Afterburner) The images below were taken today, Sunday afternoon on the French 4YA server. It was good because the server had a stormy weather setting, with a lot of rain. So it was good to force VGA (rain consume a few fps too). The settings were all at maximum, using DLSS Quality, 4070 Ti, and 1440p, in Syria map...and anti-aliasing transparency supersample 2x. The lowest FPS was flying the AH-64 in a dense region of objects and FLIR and TADS on... and a lot of rain . However, overall, the numbers were good, even flying in bad weather, keeping 90/100 fps. The CPU and GPU temperatures were practically the same, very low (50ºC), with 25ºC room temp. The server required a lot of RAM too, using 12GB of VRAM and 40GB RAM almost all the time. Sorry for the number of photos, but they are for you to take a quick look and find out a little more about the performance of the 4070 Ti in DCS, something that is difficult to find. I will continue with the tests. So more photos will come Seeya! ...over city, FLIR and TADS on... TADS on... ...all off... TADS and FLIR on... ...the island... TGP on...

Now in multiplayer (GS server), with everything at maximum,... ...with DLSS Quality... ...anti-aliasing transparency supersample 2x ...over city... ...and now, keeping all settings max, but with MSAA 4X... ...with anti-aliasing transparency supersample 2x

Hi dude! When Goerge's menu appears, it will probably be written in yellow. Select the up and hold it until the letters change to green (I think for 3 seconds). Once this is done, when you select a target for Geroge, he will fire the missile automatically, without you needing to fire (or he will fire with the 30mm cannon). I think that's what you want to know. Text in green means that George will shoot automatically without needing you to do so.

My 4070 Ti arrived today (2023/12/02). I'm doing some tests on 2k. For anyone interested: (initially I was looking for 4070, but I took advantage of the Black and got a 4070 Ti)

Now, some images in single player, running with the same configuration when I tested the 1070 Ti, now with vsync locked at 120 Hz, DLSS quality, and the 4070 Ti. Solids 120 fps. Beirut... anti-aliasing transparency supersample 2x ...other images, now with everything turned on at maximum, with MSAA 4x, with the 4070 Ti, and 60 Hz locked. All time 60 fps. Beirut again... ...temp, clocks, etc. Air conditioning set at 24ºC. The 4070 Ti arrived today . In the future I will do some more tests for anyone who wants, especially in multiplayer. If I have patience maybe I'll make a video too kkkkkkk Thanks to the people who helped me and gave their opinion on which hardware to choose

4070 Ti vs 1070 Ti

Hi dude! I haven't picked up the 4070 Ti yet. I'm doing tests at 1440p with my old warrior 1070 Ti. I'm even surprised. Most of the time it has maintained 60 fps (I locked it at 60 with vsync). The worst fps I got were with the AH-64 in dense regions (40 fps). With the F-16 I also got close to 40 fps with the TGP on and dense vegetation. With the F-18 I also had around 40 fps while in the supercarrier and in the rain. I have done all the tests in multiplauer (GS, 4YA and DDCS). But in general it has maintained 80, 90% of the time with a solid 60 fps.

Size difference between 1080p and 1440p and 23 e 32 inches.

Updating the topic, in order to help other interested parties, I purchased a 4070 Ti (PNY XLR8) and an ASUS Tuf 31.5 inch VG32VQ1B, QHD monitor. I'm currently using the new monitor, but the VGA hasn't arrived yet. When everything is installed, I will post some information and results of this upgrade. Many here in the community use VR or 4k, but the forum lacks information about 2k and monitors. So in the next few days I will do tests and then return with the information. Seeya!

I chose the B660m because the z690 is 40% more expensive, for example, and I would be paying for some things that I wouldn't use. The 12700K processor is on sale, with the same price as the 12700.

I need one more suggestion. What do you prefer: running on a monitor of: 27" 32" 34" (UW) ...all in 1440p. I ask because I hear about and I also saw videos saying that for a 32" monitor it would be better to run in 4k. As I intend to get an RTX 4070, I prefer to keep 2K. Today I was thinking about UWQHD 34", but its number of pixels is almost the same as 4K. It would be too much weight for the 4070. From the research I've done, most people say that if it's to run in 2K, the best option would be a 27" monitor. However, I still want a 32" monitor in order to fill out the field of vision and increase immersion, and 2K being "lighter" to run than 34" UW, which has more pixels. ps: now I have a 24" FHD. Thanks felas!

Up!

Today I feel inclined to buy a new PC. Reading, researching more and seeing your suggestions, I think it will be the best option for my goal, which is to play on a 31.5" monitor at 2560*1440p. Furthermore, you are helping me a lot. Thanks

Whats up man I used percentage because % gives a better idea of size. However, as you exemplified, the percentage sometimes does not represent the situation well, because, for example, a 100% increase on nothing is still nothing, but 1% of a lot can be a lot. The values I am quoting are: BRL 7,500.00 (used PC) BRL 10,200.00 (new) Thanks

I found a 3080 Ti, used for 9 months in mining, 5% cheaper than a new 4070. Is it a good option?... mining?!

Hey dude I'm in a situation where I think you can help me. I'm building a new PC: -i7 12700k -Gigab B660M Aorus Pro -64Gb 3200, DDR4, CL16 Kingst Fury Beast -2TB Kingston Renegade m.2 7300/7000 -VGA 4070 Asus OC ...with the intention of playing at 2560x1440p, 32". However, the opportunity arose to buy a used PC in the following configuration: -i7 11700 -Asus TUF Gaming z590 -32Gb DDR4, 3200, D60, XPG -512Gb Adata XPG Spectrix m.2 3500/2400 ........and VGA Asus TUF Gaming 3070 V2 OC. This used PC (5 months of use) will be 26% cheaper than the new PC I mentioned. What is your suggestion? Can I play 60fps+ at 32" 2560*1440p in multiplayer with the PC used (RTX 3070) or will I have to downgrade to FullHD 1920*1080p? I'm reviving this post and asking you because I'd like to save 26% kkkkk, and it's been several months since you bought the 3070. Now you should have an even more solid opinion. Hugs man. Thanks

I recently created a topic on this subject, and searching here on the forum, I found this. I also have a similar question. I'm building a new PC: i7 12700k, Gigabite B660m, 64gb, SSD m.2 NVMe. I want to get a 32" monitor, 16:9, 1440p. The question is the VGA I intend to buy, an RTX 4070 (not "ti"), will be able to handle flights on multiplayer servers above 60fps. Reading various opinions on the forum, I started to open up more options, like keeping it in full HD 1080p, maybe 27" 16:9, or 29" 21:9 ultrawide (is the height of the 29" the same as a 24" 16:9?). I have heard that what most influences FPS on servers is the CPU and not the GPU. So even if I win the lottery and buy an RTX 4090, I wouldn't guarantee having more than 60fps on the servers. I would like to hear from you about it. Thanks! Seeya!
