Question Will New GPU Get 4K On Arma at 60+ fps?

[EricLane]

I ordered XFX Speedster MERC310 AMD Radeon RX 7900XT Ultra Gaming Graphics Card with 20GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 3 RX-79TMERCU9

I also just ordered GIGABYTE M32U 32" 4K 144Hz Gaming Monitor with IPS, 1ms Response Time, HDMI 2.1, USB 3.0 - Black

This is an upgrade from my current 1440 27" 60Hz monitor.

I am hoping to play Arma Reforger and Arma 3 at 4k. But I am worried the new GPU cannot handle 4k and I'll be stuck on a 32" 4k monitor playing at 1440. Grok says this would look worse than native 1440 on my current 27" 1440. Am I likely to get a reliable 4k 60+fps on Arma Reforger and Arma 3? Or should I cancel my monitor?

My build (after my GPU arrives):
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced ATX Full Tower
Motherboard (MOBO): MSI MAG Z490 TOMAHAWK LGA 1200 Intel Z490 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i7 10700K 3.8GHz 8-Core
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: XFX Speedster MERC310 Radeon RX 7900 XT (20GB GDDR6)
PSU: Corsair Professional 750W 80+ Gold Certified
Memory (RAM): G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
SSD: 2x Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5"

Judging by the benchmarks I would say that you can expect 60fps in most cases at 4K max settings.
In my opinion, it is completely pointless to buy a 144Hz monitor if your PC cannot run the game at 144FPS, which kinda kills the whole point of a high refresh-rate monitor. In your case, I would just have stuck with a 4K 60Hz monitor if the only game you want to play is Arma 3 at 4K.
If you play other FPS games like CS2, Valorant, etc, which most people who play the game "competitively" run a 1080p >144HZ display, then the 4K 144Hz monitor would make some sort of sense to me.
Also, this is not an issue with the GPU, the game (Arma) is just poorly optimized.

Thanks for the feedback! Food for thought!

Monitors usually don't get upgraded as often as graphics cards so even if you are gaming at less than the maximum refresh rate of the monitor now, that may not be the case in the future.
