I think my R9 290 is on par with a 780 besides I really need 4G VRAM

 

Sure I could make it 30

But I would have to reduce my 20 layers of clouds in ASN to 4, actually I like 12

would have to reduce my ultra setting for LOD

would have the reduce  AI

would have to turn off HRD

 

then why bother get 30 with no candy?

 

20 in this sim is smooth as silk no stutters at all in windows 8.1, in windows 7 I was getting a lot of stutters so I need more fps

 

however once I try landing at a big airport it goes down the hill to 10, occasionally less :t4013:

 

Have you tried running P3D at 1920x1080 on the SEIKI?

How does that look?

 

gb.

So what good is 20 cloud layers with 10 FPS or less?   I have not seen 20 FPS in Windows 8.1 but I find it hard to believe it can be smooth as silk or any different than 20 FPS in Wiindows 7 or Xp for that matter.  20 FPS is 20 FPS regardless of O/S no?   To each their own and if you prefer all that eye candy and 10 FPS or less over turning down some things then it sounds like you are all set

 

Enjoy the beautiful monitor!!

I was having a lot of stutters in Windows 7 for some reason

 

I don't always use 20 layers, I roll back a lot on approach\

:. now that you don't get your scenery reloaded every time like in FSX....

 

I want the large real estate of a UHD so I have to make compromises.

 

These are just experiences I've had using this monitor.

 

It is a demanding resolution and I am not surprised that my performance is sometimes compromised.

 

Can be a bit disappointing to some.

 

This morning at startup at CYVR I was getting 17 and less fps

Sorry to bump an older thread, but I'm also curious about the 4K @ 30hz situation.

 

Since I aim to SIM at 30fps locked anyhow, I'm curious...perhaps a 4K @30hz would be the perfect monitor for this (and nothing else, just simming)

 

Am I getting that concept right?  I currently always fly locked off at 30fps.  Would I enjoy the 4k @ 30hz @ 30fps (assuming no issues getting that performance is the assumption in this question of course)

 

Thank you for any thoughts.

I have seen my counter show 45 fps for a second, but of course the monitor is only delivering 30

 

30 is fine for flight simming if it is fine with you, you dont notice any flickering. I lock at 22

YOU DO NEED a high end videocard tho....and 4G VRAM, NOT 3, as my usage often exceeds 3G (3300MB at KJFK fsdreamteam) .

Was getting 15 to 18 fps taxying there yesterday with 45% AI, lots of clouds and shadows and AG, and ManhattanX(flyby there tho dumped the fps to 11).

Naturally, at altitudes above 8000 or so, enroute, I was getting the locked-22-

 

30 is not as good for Netflix and iTunes movies, but the monitor can quickly revert to 60 @ 1080i

 

I admit the fps are not very high nor consistent, but I am looking forward to the upcoming Devil's Canyon i7-4790K to deliver a consistent 30

But right now I cannot without rolling everything back ti the stone age

Interesting.

 

So if the hardware could maintain 30fps at 4k would you say this monitor would be a good fit for flight sim it sounds like?

 

I only ever try to achieve 30fps locked anyhow as I like lots of scenery turned up, etc

I am of similar disposition in that I like texture and scenery as opposed to high fps

 

30 is great, its the new 40 in P3DV22

 

Myself, I am glad I bought this monitor, the price was LOW even with the sometimes low fps

 

 

I would stick my neck out and say 24 locked is sufficient for fluid fps

although I have my doubts that it would be a constant at some places regardless of CPU+GPU power

at 3840 x 2160.... that is the equivalent of running 4  1920x1080 monitors of P3D size wise

Fascinating.

I'm going to try it out and see how it goes.

Will report back after the monitor arrives this coming week.

What about input lag?

Notice any issues there? Especially when landing and doing maneuvers?

landing ain't all that bad

 

my worst scenarios are in cloud layers near ManhattanX

Do some googling about the firmware updates you prob should apply and the best settings in its menu.

 

Your PC specs seem to indicate your have a powerful enough computer.

 

good luck...

Thanks. Should be fun to try.

I have a titan black I haven't put in yet.

 

Really excited for SLI support (official) at some point.

As you can see below, the fps can go above 30, but it is only visually 30 even if it reads 33 in P3D

 

 

 

Carenado's B1900 over Long Island at 11000
 

Another thing about Ultra-HD, I find AA = 2 sufficient

I have a titan black I haven't put in yet.

 

 

Could be very handy, the Titan, OR, it may open a path for  OOM to occur

On my last flight GPU-Z recorded a max VRAM of 4072MB, my limit with R9-290/4G

So have you tried to run P3D at 1080 on the 4K monitor?

 

gb.

No, simply because I am not interested in that resolution, except for movies.

 

It would be good for comparison of performance purposes....if I get the time

Thanks it would be good if you could.

The main reason I ask is that I read a 4K monitor review that said it was not possible to output 1080

from a PC game to a 4K screen because of the split screen output the PC has to use .

I was hoping this was wrong.
