4K monitor help

Featured Replies

Hey guys, 

 

So recently purchased a 4K monitor! Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how to set it up! When i go into P3D there is a huge drop in frame rate. Does anyone know how to fix this ? 

 

So its set to 3840 X 2160 with a HDMI cable, in P3D i have selected the 3840 X 2160 resolution, the sim look fantastic, its just the FPS! Any suggestions ? Graphics card is a GTX1070 ROG Strix 8GB

I7 6700K 4.7Ghz, GTX ROG Strix GTX1070 8GB, ASRock z170 Extreme6+, Corsair 16GB ram, Corsair Hydro Series H110I extreme cooler, ASUS VC279H monitor. 

 

Thanks in advance, 

Jack 

Hi!

I'm interesting in this topic. I'd like to buy an Ultrawide 34" LG monitor. I have a GTX970.

On others topics I've read that 4K res shouldn't have a great impact on FPS, is this true ?

 

Thanks!

Regards, Max

I too noticed this with mine but found if i turn AA down to 2 it came back to reasonable levels. AA kills on larger screens unless you have multi-gpu's (so i've read). It definitely is sharp using a 4K though. Good Luck..

I've read also that with an ultrawide (3440x1440) or with a 4K monitor, the aa could be turned off.

In this way your FPS should be ok. Can you confirm this ?

 

Thanks again for your help!

Switch all AA off, really don't need it with 4K

MSFS & XP11 - Aviatek G1000 Complex Desktop Trainer - Fulcrum One Yoke - TPR Rudder Pedals - VF TQ6 Throttle - LG 55" OLED Display

 
 

I'm running a 49" LG 4K TV as my main screen, fed by a GTX1080 at 4096x2160 / 60Hz.

 

I've turned the AA right down:

FXAA=Off

MSAA=2 Samples

Anisotropic 2x

Tessellation enabled

 

Try this, and see how things perform.

 

It should be remembered that running a 4K monitor off one graphics card is essentially the same as running four 1920x1080 monitors off

the same card. GPU has a lot of work to do drawing 8.8 million pixels-per-frame.

 

 

When I got mine I turned NI off completely and only run with internal FXAA off, 4, 4 with internal frame limiter set to 30..  I also set 30Hz but it's not a huge deal if you run 60...might be a little improvement.  I have a 970 with 4 Gig and get really good framerates, in general.  Lots of AS16 clouds slows it up.
