[SOLVED] Can someone walk me through getting 4k Nvidia 1070?

[Jeff1960]

Hello everyone,

My computer is running GTX 1070. It has 32 gig ram Ti7 processor. I just purchased 32 inch Samsung UJ59 4k monitor. I am not seeing a lot of "WOW" factor on the screen for gaming. I am not sure how to get the right setting for 4k. Is there a walk-through somewhere out there? I play World of Warcraft and a couple other online games but I am just not seeing anything different from my old non-4k monitor.

Thank you for your support.

Jeff

I know it gets a lot of hate but try GeForce Experience recommended settings and the tweaking from there. I don’t play WoW but generally the 1070 is considered too weak for high end games at 4K requiring you to have very low settings. At 4K try turning off all anti analysing.

 

[Jeff1960]

Thank you for the response. I might just upgrade the graphics card then. Too bad, I thought the 1070 was capable.

So not to start another thread, interesting turn of events. All of a sudden my GTX 1070 rattles since hooking up this monitor and only when I try to run a game. When I close out WOW, it stops. Now you can't tell me this graphics card is under-powered for 1 32 inch monitor?

Monitor size is irrelevant, what resolution is it? 1080p on a 24inch monitor is the same gpu work as 1080p on a big TV. The only thing in a gpu that can rattle is the fan, it’s sounds like either the fan bearing is failing or something is touching the fan blades. Most gpu’s the fan will only spin under gaming loads.

Right now it is set at 1080P on a 32 inch monitor. But as I am writing this, the fans are nice a quiet. As soon as I start up a game, the rattling begins.

As I said, most gpu’s the fans will only spin under gaming loads. The fans are not needed when not gaming.

Ok, thank you. Now I understand. But only 3 years old. Wow, they don't make them like they use to. My GTX 960's lasted 6 years or so.

It’s worth checking nothing is touching the fan like a wire.

 

[Jeff1960]

Yes, my case is oversized and I have everything wire-tied away from the fans (7 internal) and the fans on the GC.

Ok, was worth checking. It’s not uncommon for fan bearings to fail and cause a rattle.

Thank you for your support. Very much appreciated. Now to find a new card that won't break the bank; or my head when the wife finds out how much I spent.
