Any 4k 3080 10gb gamers here ?

[Gohardgrandpa]

I’ve had my 3080 10gb for a few months now. Was using it with a Dell s2721dgf 1440p 165hz monitor and everything was great, no complaints. 
 

My friend calls me and asks if I want his gigabyte m28u 4k 144hz ips monitor for $300. Naturally I jumped on the offer as it’s $529 new on sale right now and his was maybe 45 days old. 
 

I get the monitor, still has the plastic on the back, screen is mint so I set it all up. 
Boy oh boy that fps drop is real, I knew it would happen but didn’t think it would be as major as it is. 

 

I play a lot of old stuff. Siege, dead by daylight, fallout 3/NV/4, Rocket league. Those all ran great, then I started having my fps issues. 

Pub g, Cold War without dlss, apex legends all run way lower fps than before. 
 

What games and settings do you normally run? Is there certain stuff to turn down in game that barely affects visuals but improves fps ? I don’t mind turning stuff down to stay around 120fps. 
 

Thanks in advance for replying, hoping to hear your experiences with said setup

High settings instead of Ultra is a great place to start.

might wanna ddu ur drivers just in case, as for settings. motion blur, depth of field, vsync off, TAA seems to be the least taxing. If there's no dlss i turn stuff (shadow, veg, lighting) down to medium-high (textures can stay ultra)

you don't need to DDU for a new monitor.

 

Anyways:

Going from 2K to 4K is a little over doubling the pixels that the card has to render, so yeah, there's a hell of a drop.

 

As mentioned:  Go off ultra, down to High, and/or tweak settings for better results.  (Some settings can be significantly lowered and result in little to no graphic fidelity loss.)

 

Alternatively: 1440 DLSS'd to 4K will get you your frames back.

I’ve never been an ultra settings guy, the fps hit at 1440p was noticeable with the 3080. 
I figured AA and foliage would be good ones to turn down don’t know what else would be good to turn down.

2060 Super here, but I also play at 4K (usually, currently my 4K monitor is living at work) but 60Hz, so slower GPU but half the frames to render. DLSS is your friend, as for settings you'll want to drop the usual bullshit ones: film grain, motion blur, depth of field, etc. And then after that lighting and shadows as those are the hardest hitting settings, for me they usually end up around medium/low. I always leave textures on the highest setting I have the VRAM for.

i have a 3080 aorus 10gb combined with a i7-11700k and I passed from a 2k dell 165 at a 28" 4k 144hz. i`m playing only cod so I can tell you that if in 2k i had 150-180fps in 4k i have 120-138fps but only with dlss set on performance and v-sync active.

Did you play the cod mw2 beta with that setup? 
Cold War with dlss on performance ran really good, I’m hoping the new cod does the same but I only played that at 1440p 

 

What did you have the settings at?

I wish everything had dlss, that would make the whole experience better

Yeah, I'm lucky in that most of the hard to run titles I play do support it, everything else is oldish (Destiny 2, engine from 2017) or old (various Fallout games, Skyrim, etc) and runs 4K native fine. Star Citizen is the only game I have to drop to 1440p to run playably. Without DLSS you either have to drop res and deal with the oftentimes sub-par scaling, or slam settings down further.

Most of the stuff I play is older. Im

hoping this cod mw2 runs fine at 4k with the 3080, I think it will since I know it has dlss in the settings. 
With cod going to every other year and the limited games I play I’m hoping to be able to skip this whole rtx 4000 series and save up for a beefy 5000 series card while I wait.
