Fps hit with resolution increase

[Will Ozellman]

Hi. It's a new year with a new graphics card so i was thinking about increasing my resolution.

 

 

I'm wondering, is the amount of pixels you have directly tied to your overall fps? For example, i have a standard 1080 monitor now with a pixel count of 2073600. 

I want to get an ultra wide 1440 monitor which should have a pixel count of 4953600. Thats 2.38 times the pixels.

 

So if i have 100 fps, will i get only 42 if i upgrade to a ultra wide 1440? Or is the fps not quite lowered in sync with the fps increase?

Na, I don't lose that much going from 1080p to 1440. But you can use VSR if you have a AMD card to see how much you'd lose.

Okay.

 

I have a Nvidia card. Is there a similar program for that?

I haven't used GeForce Experience in a while, so I don't remember how to enable it. 

[App4that]

Yes, but too drunk to remember the name lol. Happy new year!

Seriously though, Nvidia has one too. So if you have a 1080p monitor you can render the game in 1440. It looks better and let's you see what kind of fps your GPU can provide.

Okay. So rendering the game in 1440 or 4k will have the same fps hit as running it native on a better monitor?

You will lose 35-40% fps. Downsampling is not the same like a true Resolution.

EDIT- I just read the question again, sorry. That's correct. If you do that, you'll get a good understanding of how it'll run on a monitor of that resolution.

Okay. So i just maxed Witcher 3 in simulated 4K and got around 40 frames. So i should expect alot more than that from a 3440 x 1440 monitor then.

Again, downsampling give you not the same Results like true 4k or 1440p.

What kind of a setup do you have? That's beast.

This is true, too. Again, I said expect similar results, not exactly the same results. It'll be different.

I just finished my project that has been going since summer. Basically i7-4790k and msi gtx 980 ti. Put a slight overclock on the gpu (havent gotten into the idea of raising voltage yet) to achive 40 instead of 37 fps.

So if simulated 4k goes from 100-120 fps down to about 40, how much should true 4k hit the fps if you can estimate.

Depends on your Hardware. 30-35fps in 4k ULTRA are realistic. With a Tweak here and there you can reach the 40. But 4k is not worth the huge fps loss. 1440p is the superior solution.

Those are some nice specs. I don't know about The Witcher 3, but a 980ti can handle some games at 4K over 30 FPS. If you want 60 FPS, I think 1440p is the way to go.

Okay then that sounds reasonable. Yeah im definitely going ultra wide 1440. Wanted to go 3 monitors for a long time but UW1440 seems like a much better option. I only simulated 4k because it should be much more taxing than UW1440 and i couldnt simulate an ultra wide aspect ratio.

Thanks. The reason it took so long was because i had to sell my old pc in order to afford the gpu In hindsight maybe i should've gone with X99 but its no big deal i think.
