Kornskydiver Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 So I am currently running 3 x 22" monitors (5040x1050) powered by a single gtx 970 getting a relatively smooth 60fps on mostly high and medium settings. The plan is to ditch the 3 monitors and getting a single 4K tv. Will I see better fram rates going to single a monitor/tv? I don't plan on running dcs on 4K until I get another 970 but I just wanted to know if my frames would jump running at 1080p? Any insight would greatly be appreciated :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
wormeaten Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 It is simple just multiply your resolutions and score is your square pixels your GPU have to deal with in configuration. Following this logic single 970 is not good for 4K. But according to 4K users most of the people playing games on 1080p or 1440p which give better picture on 4K TV and are not decreasing fps comparing with your 5040x1050. For playing on 4K you will need new GPU but there is catch. If you buying 1070 or 1080 be aware this GPU have bottleneck on older CPU so you may not have full performance from it and get disapointed or have to change compleet new configuration. On other hand RX 480 ned new GTX 10X0 drop price for GTX 980ti so you can get it for 400$ and less this days, new one offcourse. GTX 980ti should get you full 4K in DCS.

I'm honestly not looking for 4K resolutions for at least another year. I'm just trying to see if my current 970 will give me better fps at 1080p on a single 4K tv rather than my triple monitors.

Deezle Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Well, 1920x1080 vs 5760x1080, I think the answer is pretty self explanatory. The TV being 4k doesn't mean anything if you're using 1080p resolution. Intel 9600K@4.7GHz, Asus Z390, 64GB DDR4, EVGA RTX 3070, Custom Water Cooling, 970 EVO 1TB NVMe 34" UltraWide 3440x1440 Curved Monitor, 21" Touch Screen MFD monitor, TIR5 My Pit Build, Moza AB9 FFB w/WH Grip, TMWH Throttle, MFG Crosswinds W/Combat Pedals/Damper, Custom A-10C panels, Custom Helo Collective, SimShaker with Transducer

The TV being 4k doesn't mean anything if you're using 1080p resolution. Oh yes it is. TV have some sort of increase picture quality on lower resolutions and you don't have problem to use 4K on desktop he will use 1080p or 1440p only on gameplay. For work he is free to use 4K with GTX 970 so it is benefit in any other usage out of gameplay. Anf itf it is 3D model he can use it in DCS + large screen will give him more immersion, joy and performance with 4K TV using 3D 1080p. Difference is noticeable similar like between picture quality 1080p monitor vs TV. Just go for it.
