Monitor Resolution for FSX (boxed)

[SailorDoc 1]

Hello, don't know what forum this goes in but Im sure someone will let me know. Here is my situation. I just purchased a BenQ EW3270U 4K monitor. This thing is a BEAST. It's at least 2.75 larger than my previous monitor. Actually it's a bit of an overkill to be honest. Im running a WIn10 machine with FSX (boxed) all updates, 32Gig RAM, with a Nvidia GTX 980 GPU. Win10 rec. a native resolution of 3840x2160 running this monitor. Should I run FSX at the same resolution or something lower? I am probably running the limits to the extreme on the GTX 980. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

The only thing I can think of is to run FSX and check the highest resolution under FSX/Settings/Customize/Graphics and see how it runs.  Make sure whatever resolution you choose matches your Windows resolution.

Hi, I have a similar sized monitor (in terms of resolution) with FSX Boxed on it and have been using it for some time now I am using  3440 x 1440 resolution without problem or frame rate droppage in FSX, of course the inbuilt FSX memory constraints still apply.

thank you for the replies. So I am currently running FSX and desktop on the rec. setting per Win10 3840x2160. Thanks again for your assistance. "FLY NAVY"

If you run any monitor at anything other than its native resolution you will compromise the image quality. Unfortunately I have to run my BenQ UHD monitor at 1920*1080 in P3D v3 because FSL Concorde is 32-bit compatible only. In P3D v4 it's wonderful at UHD.

@SailorDoc, providing you don't run out of VAS or fps are too low try staying with it because the crisp panel quality is second to none. 👍
