I'm tossing up whether to go a 3070 or wait for more stock to arrive and get a 3080. Reason being I've just upgraded my 10 year ord old 21inch Dell's (5760x1080) to Asus ROG 27inch but now the old RTX970 is struggling with much more than 80fps at 7680x1440. I'm sure there is a way to down grade the screens back to HD but I'm not sure I want to as it's very pretty Logged gawaterman RestrictedRacing Sr. Member Posts: 408 Karma: 17 Re: My New PC Build « Reply #34 on: January 16, 2021, 04:47:55 PM » Hard to tell Brad as the rest of my pc is getting on, an i7-3770K @3.g GHz, mb is 1151 pin and I think its about 8yrs old. I am using 3 Dell 27 in monitors at 5760 x 1080, but the 3070's doing a great job, just not sure how much better the 3080 would be.Tell ya wot, buy the 3080, get it shipped to my place and I can compare them for ya « Last Edit: January 17, 2021, 05:39:39 PM by gawaterman » Logged bradc RestrictedRacing Sr. Member Posts: 395 Karma: 8 Re: My New PC Build « Reply #35 on: February 21, 2021, 08:56:49 PM » Quote from: gawaterman on January 16, 2021, 04:47:55 PMHard to tell Brad as the rest of my pc is getting on, an i7-3770K @3.g GHz, mb is 1151 pin and I think its about 8yrs old.

Just remember any fps higher than the refresh rate aren't even rendered so not point going for max FPS if you can't use em In regular AC however even maxed out I'm over 200fps; I just know they're being thrown away on my cheapy 60hz monitors. ACC totally maxed out is around 70-80fps so that's pretty good for me.

No point the GPU rendering frames it can't display.

From memory, use fastsync when super high frames above the monitors refresh. Frame cap when frame rate just above the refresh rate. « Last Edit: February 22, 2021, 03:38:19 PM by buellersdayoff » Logged bradc RestrictedRacing Sr. Member Posts: 395 Karma: 8 Re: My New PC Build « Reply #39 on: February 23, 2021, 09:09:23 PM » Quote from: Joe on February 22, 2021, 12:20:21 PMQuote from: bradc on February 21, 2021, 08:56:49 PMyeah, nah......I'm just in the early stages of getting my new machine running and with old the settings on my GTX970 I was getting 80fps on 5760x1080 and on my first with the GTX3080 test i got 218fps ave....I then turned E V E R T H I N G up to 11 and got 175fps on 7680x1440, so i think that is a good improvement...just need to sort out my simucube issues and then ill be back on track and hopefully a little bit quicker lol !What refresh rate are your monitors?

My sim monitors are wasted on my 3090, but for other gaming I use a 43" 4k 120hz monitor and that pushes it pretty hard. You were lucky to get a 3080 they're so hard to get at the moment!

With fast sync the GPU still renders the frames, it just throws them away. Always found it better than v-sync or frame capping Logged Bird Administrator Hero Member Posts: 2324 Karma: -666 Ysu Re: My New PC Build « Reply #42 on: February 27, 2021, 06:55:46 PM » I've got a new one, too. Altho in hindsight what for did I get a 3070 card I've no idea, but it runs RDR2 damn well in 4k I tells ya Looks like xmas, too, hehe.
