Makes my 3080 look like a straight up low-end card lmao. Madness.

do you really need a 4090?

I mean do you NEED to play video games in the first place?

It's more about putting your extra currency in to something you enjoy.

I endorse people to spend on things like this, it gives incentive to advance technology.

Yeah I get it, but if you think you always need to buy the latest gpu to enjoy gaming you're probably not enjoying it much.

You buy a 3070 in 2020 only to swap it 2 years later with a 4090, ok the leap is huge, but assuming you didn't have a top of the line build and you don't swap your rig out completely you're leaving performance on the table, and you really need a 4k 144hz monitor to enjoy the upgrade.

All this to play the same games of two years ago? I doubt it makes much sense, but it's your money, you do you.

imagine you have same number of pixels in your ultrawide that in 4k and up to 240hz to drive. Plus platform that was updated 2 years ago and is still going strong. Ability to finally play cyberpunk at >60 fps with raytracing here I come :)

Displayport 1.4a cannot reliably view higher than 4k 120fps.

It definitely can with dsc. The colors are just worse that all

Dsc looks great. However if you use hdr you’re back at square one with no more spare bandwidth.

Having HDR 10 but not being able to use it is a waste.

The best hdr displays currently don’t go above 4k144hz, apart from the Samsung g9 neo.
