The very bad news is, Nvidia says turning DLSS 5 on will currently reduce performance by 50-60%. And that’s across the board—no matter the game.

    And I mean you bought the 4k monitor, so for it not to be a good choice for gaming needs to be addressed. Can’t have that money go to waste. Not your fault you fell for the marketing again.

    At least movies will look good on it.

      Pretty L sarcastic take tbh. I work on my pc, I also have 3 screens at my pc, 4k is invaluable as I can get so much more done more easily when I don’t spend my time scrolling through code. Working on anything below 1440 feels cramped.

      I guess movies could look good, I wouldn’t know tho.

        Cool, yet my point on gaming still stands. Most places I installed screens at had us (mostly done by the roll up software) turn the res down (so people can read it). You can use 4k I am sure, knock yourself out, but we are in crazy land where your need to have 4k has left us all in a nightmare of shit performance and fake frames.

        “Such a L take” is funny from the people with more money then sense who always seem to revert to a “get gud” defense when confronted with the idea that maybe spending more is not always a good idea.

          If you had to turn the res down so people can read it then you failed at basic computer usage. Resolution doesn’t dictate font size.

            HA! But it does! try setting your 4k display to 1080p… Look! Bigger letters!

            Keep in mind this was also due to most places wanting the same settings with all pcs, so hey the shittiest res becomes everyones! YAY!

              Your favorite desktop OS has scaling settings which uses more pixels to draw the same characters bigger whilst letting you enjoy a smoother and better looking desktop

          Eh, okay dude, sure thing, I usually have my browser set by default to 80% zoom on lower res screens and my font is quite small on the 4k, I also disable any kind of scaling.

          Believe it or not, not everyone sees the world like you do.

          It sounds like you made up your mind though, which is cool for you I guess.

          I appreciate advances in tech, especially stuff like display tech, you kind of remind me of my dad the time he told us we’d never need a hard drive bigger than 2gb, lol.

          I’m just gonna go be gud over here, you do you over there…

          I’ll also add that anti aliasing is not as important nowadays because realistically, it was a way to hide lower resolutions by smoothing edges, now edges can be smooth at native resolutions without it. (there’s nuance to that ofc) I’m not sure if you hated AA too.

            You have literally disabled the feature that makes fonts look correct on 4k and further shrunk the text by setting zoom to 80%. It’s not really a matter of opinion you are just wrong.

                Display scaling settings. Every OS has them. They let you render your UI larger while still taking advantage of the increased resolution. For instance a 4k display at 200% display scaling will have everything be the same size as an equivalent 1080p screen, but will still look much smoother because it is actually using the proper resolution for rendering.

                  Why would I want that? I literally got a bigger screen for more real estate and more text, why would I get a 4k screen and turn it into a smoother 1080p screen?

                  It slike people who buy 24"+ 1080p screens, they look like dogwater, why would you want that.

                    Because if you buy a laptop or something that has a 16 inch 4k screen the text will be nearly unreadable. Or some people have poor eyesight so want larger text while still being able to watch movies/play games in a higher res. It has tons of use cases, just because they don’t apply to you doesn’t mean it is useless.

      4k monitors look fine rendering 1080p

      If you have a pixel

      1

      A 4K monitor can in the same physical space draw

      1 0 0 1

      Showing more real detail it can also display in 1080p mode

      1 1 1 1

        Yes, thank you for explaining that. No I will not buy a 4k smart TV, as I don’t care and like my 1080p (and even old tube 480p tvs) the way it looks.

        This is just more “please buy our shit” sort of crap we have to deal with way way too much these days.

          Given a reasonable amount of horsepower it makes sense to run your games in 4K. I was just pointing out that you CAN run a given game in 1080p if you don’t have enough juice and it won’t look worse than if it was running on a 1080p monitor. 4K is in fact great.

          Pretending that it doesn’t actually look better is just pure copium. It’s no more real than the flat earth.

          You don’t have to be wiling to spend on it but it makes little sense to pretend its not better.

            When did I state any of that?

            And no it is not “better” other then being more pricey, there are pros and cons.

              You just said it wasn’t better other than being more expensive then said there are pros and cons. Did you glitch chatGPT?
