Advice Sought for 49" Ultra-wide

[redboot]

Hi all.  

I'm planning to upgrade to a 49" ultra-wide monitor.  But I'm not sure if I hav the rig to support it.  Can any of you tech experts out there give me some feedback on whether DCS will run well?  Also, what would be the best specs for such a monitor?

Here are my computer specs.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz   2.90 GHz
Installed RAM    32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable)
System type    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Graphics Card  PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card

I am no expert, but I have one of the first generation Samsung 49" monitors which are 1080p (resolution 3840x1080) and used to run things on a GTX1070 using a 10th gen i7 card and things ran fine as long as I adjusted my graphics and expectations i.e. I did not expect to be able to run every setting on high (I eventually upgraded my whole system to do so).  Keep in mind some of the new 49" monitors run 1440p resolution (5120x1440), so that will also hit your performance if you go that route.  I'm planning on replacing my current monitor with the Samsung G9 1000R 49" monitor later this year (love the higher curve and have the system to support higher resolutions).

Thanks for the reply.  I ended up ordering the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, with the notion of upgrading the GPU later if necessary.  Hopefully, I can hold off on a CPU for a while.  I just upgraded my HOTAS too, so I'm excited to get this bad boy hooked up.  Now, I just need to remember how to fly the damn plane.

i have a 5900x with 64gb ram and a 6900xt. I run the G9 1440p and i turn most every setting as far as I want it. You will be able to use the G9, just gonna have to turn down they eye candy till a GPU upgrade.
