Hmm, sounds like 4K is not for the plebes...thanx, I will abandon the 4K concept.

I used to run 4k on a 43" while it looked nice 1440 looked as good while being more performant.

BTW, OLED IS awesome.

    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.

What..? This isn’t like clothing.
 

Upgrading to 4k makes any subsequent upgrades to your pc components cost more, permanently to maintain the same level of performance. The same goes going from 1080p to 2k/1440p. Budget is very much a constraint here regardless if you want better.

It is better to be in 4K with HighFS settings than to be in 2K with Ultra FS settings. Being half satisfied is not for me. Taking off from London with mediocre performance and the visual quality of the Middle Ages either. Performance problems are a distant memory. I am comfortable everywhere regardless of the plane, the place or the context, and all this in 4K and Ultra. Each flight (50 hours per week) is delicious. Until you have experienced it you cannot understand. You can also stop the simulation, it will be a great saving. Money does not exist for enthusiasts.

Committee (AKA the prone-to-violence-cop-wife) has other thoughts on that.

That's awesome for you really, but that means spending for 4k monitors and PC components to supplement that performance requirement

This takes the cake for an avsim comment lol. This was a good laugh

I mean I fly in VR, doesn't mean I'm going to pretend like everyone here has a limitless budget.

Tell you what, you do you, I think you're completely ignoring the main point I'm trying to make judging by you doubling down at this point.

C'est vraiment génial pour vous, mais cela signifie dépenser pour des moniteurs 4K et des composants PC pour compléter cette exigence de performance

 

C'est le top pour un commentaire d'Avsim, mdr. C'était bien marrant.

 

Je veux dire que je vole en VR, cela ne veut pas dire que je vais prétendre que tout le monde ici a un budget illimité.

Je vais vous dire quoi, faites-le vous-même, je pense que vous ignorez complètement le point principal que j'essaie de faire valoir, à en juger par le fait que vous redoublez d'efforts à ce stade.

That's awesome for you really, but that means spending for 4k monitors and PC components to supplement that performance requirement

You are jet lagged on technology

From the beginning, I'm the one who's been laughing. My day job is to fly on a simulator 7 days a week.

What is VR? I'm waiting for the eye lenses. Keep experimenting.

And your BAD advice will lead to lower satisfaction because you're not hearing that he's budget limited.

Far better that he should spend his budget on stronger foundational components than the gilded Lily of a 4K display.

 

Forgot to say that Wallmart has <$150 32" curved Samsung gaming screens.

Not 4k but hey..

32" Works best in my RV but my main point is that I like the curved panels these days.

When I was still working I had a 55" LG Curved 4k OLED but it cost $6k.

BTW, it was gorgeous!

Or you could just take it for the joke it was and the larger commentary that people can find anything to argue about on Avsim...  Case in point LOL
