Question QHD vs UWQHD

[Drago94]

Hello. How much performance will I lose when I switch to 3440x1440? Currently, I'm on 2560x1440. Surely, 3440x1440 is more demanding than the standard QHD, and I think it will be noteciable, right?

I hope you realize letting us know what components you are using plays a heavy factor in this.

But in general, yes, you should see a slight decline. How much, though, will depend on what components you're using.

Hi, ppl! Who use the RTX 4080 with UWQHD (3440x1440)? I posted there many times about monitor’s, so sorry for that. I own actually a 27” IPS QHD monitor. I wanted to go for the 27” OLED again, but many people told me that a 34” UWQHD OLED is more immersive. So, I ordered the Dell AW3423DWF. However I'm not sure if I made the right decision. I'm mainly concerned about losing performance because I was on a vanilla QHD. I'm not sure if the 4080 can handle 3440x1440. Does anyone have a 4080 and UWQHD? How does this GPU handle it? Is it true that it's better to go with a 34” UW OLED rather than an OLED 27”?

yes we know. you keep starting new thread and never response to any of them

Your 4080 should be sufficient to drive your new display well. You may need to tweak settings for optimal use.

Seems you are more worried about buyer's remorse, than the actual performance. Should be fine.

Alternatively, if you can't stand the thought of losing performance going to a higher resolution monitor, just don't get a higher resolution monitor.

Some games are cpu limited, and some are graphics limited.
The impact depends on your games.
You should have the option to adjust the resolution and quality settings to get the performance you want.

I think it is logical to buy the monitor you want first and see how you do.
You can then make any cpu or gpu adjustments.

And... keep your old monitor as a side monitor for static stuff like email or performance monitors.
It will not impact your gaming.
