GPU 7800XT should I get a 4K monitor for MSFS 2024?

Featured Replies

Cant decide if the performance will be good because if I have to dial down settings what point is there in going 4k?  Currently my 2K 32 inch monitor runs well with high game settings.

    This is ridiculous, self-congratulatory MISinformation. Buying a 4K screen is the LEAST important part of building a good gaming system. And your BAD advice will lead to lower satisfaction b

  • 7800XT is firmly a 1440/2k card. 

  • Agreed.  

7800XT is firmly a 1440/2k card. 

I was running MSFS at 4K with a 6800XT, it was perfectly playable, so a 7800XT should be OK.

AMD 9800X3D,  NZXT X73 RGB AIO COOLER, Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WIFI7, 64GB 6000MHZ RAM, 4TB Samsung Pro NVME, 4 TB Crucial P3+ NVME, 4TB Crucial SSD, Gigabyte Gaming OC Geforce RTX5090, Antec C8 ARGB Case, X55 JOYSTICK/THROTTLES, LG 4K C4 42" TV/Monitor 120 Hz, 2 Dell 1080 monitors. Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Bravo Throttle. Thrustmaster TPR Pedals. Moza AB6 FFB Joystick, Pimax Crystal Light VR, Tobii Eye tracker, Steelseries Arctis 7+ Wireless Headphones.

 

4k is honestly probably too much for a 32 inch.  Things will be so small to fit on screen the tradeoffs are probably just not worth it.

Well I reckon y'all saved me some time and trouble, guess I stick with 2K for my 7800XT.

No hesitation about 4K with 7800XT. No debate for me. .It's much better to be in 4k with High FS settings than to be in 2K with Ultra FS settings. Anything below 4k is medieval. OLED/QLED is the way. The pleasure will be there, you have my promise.

As I already told you QLED (No VA or IPS  Panel) OLED is definitely the way to go even for a TV. You will be disappointed

It's a shame we have come to this. It is perfectly fine to call anyone's child, mother, girlfriend (AI or real) wife, husband, dog, gopher or squirrel ugly. We have the right to call it what it is 😁

Yeah but there's a budget restraint...

That sounds familiar 😉 Go with what you can afford, accept the limitations of your choice and enjoy your purchase. Everything can always be better, everything can always be worse 👍

4K on my 24" monitor would be a waste of processing power.

The icons would be so small you would need a microscope to see them!  

Just my opinion but 4K really requires a larger format screen and is only good from certain viewing distances.  

Even on my 70inch downstairs a lot of time if sports are available in 4K and HD I prefer the HD picture from across the room whereas movies I prefer in 4K.  So it's not a be all end all by any means.
