4K with GTX 1070

[albertseille]

Hi everyone, i just got a Samsung 27' 4K monitor and I would like to know if i would be able to play 4K and what settings would be the best ones to play.

Pd: I've got a GTX 1070, I5 7600K and 16GB Ram 3200mhz

Thanks

What was your old resolution? If it was 1080p start with the same settings as before, but drop the MSAA to 2x or even to OFF.

 

Then adjust and lower the other settings as necessary.

Go big or go home! Try 4196 x 2160 and if you don't like it, drop to 3860 x 2160. Welcome to 4K DCSW!!!!

I just bought a new PC. First i tried playing 1440p with the high setting but then i decided to try what if i fully use my 4k monitor

Most of the time, I've flew with 2K for reasons like to make sure I have 60 fps and no black borders in the menue...

 

Now I tried with 4K in SP with a non-populated mission (MiG-15 free flight) with following settings:

 

Textures high

Water high

Terrain textures high

Visibility range high

heat blur high

shadows high

resolution cockpitdisplays 1024

8X MSAA

HDR

no grass

Visibility trees to half

preload radius full

8X AA

 

And I got always 60 fps, but in a non-populated mission. Online, where a lot of players crash at one point, that number can go down even at 1080p to a very low number.

 

as you can see in the video that I've made, there are some exceptions but you will mostly get 60 FPS at 4K with a 1070 and a better CPU than mine.

If you're running 4k you don't need MSAA.

 

For my part, if it's a choice between 4k and other settings, e.g. heat blur on high, I'll pick 4k every time.
