Question 4k gpu

[Blopblorpbloop]

I want above 60 fps consistently at high or ultra settings. I’m thinking either 4070 ti super or 4080 super. Thoughts?

This space doesn't leave a lot of options at the moment. Either you are going with the higher end 80/90 card from the Nvidia 4xxx series, or waiting out 5xxx series. The AMD 7900XT might be workable but IME lack a lot in Ray Tracing.

you should combine these two threads
into a single since they are asking the same relative question.

either of these GPUs will be able to render 4K graphics with mostly high settings,
but you need a higher-end CPU to process the data and provide it to the GPU quickly enough for that rendering at a higher frame rate.
and of course you will want the highest tiered GPU you can afford for the highest possible settings at the highest possible resolutions.

the type of games you plan on playing also come into play with these questions.
most of the newest AAA titles out there need pretty advanced hardware to run at your preferred output, but there are many lower end titles that don't need near as much.

as time goes by the requirements will only rise, so how long do you plan on this system being viable for this type of use?
what may be able to just handle it now, probably won't even 2 years from now.

I'd advise you to steer clear from both of these cards.

At the moment, even 4090 struggles at 4k Ultra, on certain AAA titles.

Just try to be patient for a few more months, until 5090 is released.

If using DLSS and frame gen it can handle

Yes, it does.

As @JohnBonhamsGhost was hinting at, you need to pair your GPU with a good CPU. What are the rest of your system specs.? Although, at 4k, a Ryzen 5600x can keep pace with the latest CPU as the load is more GPU limited.

 

[valthuer]

I'm afraid he won't be able to use either of those features, if Nvidia makes DLSS 4.0 exclusive to the RTX-50 series.

They did the same thing in the past, so there's a good chance they might do it again.

This is the worst possible period for buying a new graphics card.

If he lets his impatience get the better of him and buys a GPU right now, by the time RTX-50 series cards get released, he could basically find himself stuck with an almost 3-year-old card, with no access to latest features that improve gaming performance.

Is the risk really worth it?

I don't think so.

then you'll still have DLSS available, just not the latest version on the latest games that choose to implement it.

if you spend your whole computing life chasing the latest tech and the latest hardware you'll never be enjoying anything and will just be blowing cash chasing some impossible dream.

then you'll still have DLSS available, just not the latest version on the latest games that choose to implement it.

Which will practically include 99% of all new AAA titles that will be released during a period of 2-3 years.

if you spend your whole computing life chasing the latest tech and the latest hardware you'll never be enjoying anything and will just be blowing cash chasing some impossible dream.

We are just 2-3 months away from the release of a new generation of GPUs. Being patient for those months, is hardly the same as spending your whole computing life.

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

that's funny since 99% of them to this day still do not implement latest existing versions.

We are just 2-3 months away from the release of a new generation of GPUs. Being patient for those months, is hardly the same as spending your whole computing life.

and when that time comes there will still be other new hardware and technologies "just on the horizon" again.
so you might as well just wait for those too and hold off building indefinitely into the future.

New hardware, is always on the horizon. However, we 're specifically talking about GPUs.

After the release of RTX-50, and if the past is any indication, the next series will come in 2-3 years.

Do i think it's a good idea someone waits that long, before they upgrade? Absolutely not.

But if 2-3 months are gonna shape you new rig's ability to perform well for 2-3 years, then yeah, it's well worth the wait.

What you 're describing, is a situation where one is indefinitely holding off an impending upgrade - and that's something i'd never suggest or agree with.
