4090 for 4K Requirement? Source

[control_limit]

There's another post on this discussion board around a 4090 being required for 4K. I cannot find any source of confirmation for this. Where/when was this said?

It is not requirement, but recommendation for native 4k gaming. It comes from Larian community update 22:
With a good CPU and a GeForce 3060, you can play at 1440p at 60fps. Native 4K will require double fill rate, so we recommend using a top-end GeForce 4080/4090 or AMD equivalent. And of course, with DLSS, you can reach 4K with lower requirements, thanks to the wizards at Nvidia.

4k fps results native and dlss from nvidia themselves in nvidia news item:

Ye 3080 12GB here. Comfortably ran the early access at 4K 60+ FPS.

Would be weird. RDR2 can be played 60+ fps in 4k with a 3080.

Don't miss the part where it says, with DLSS, it will need lower requirements. The game does support DLSS for those with a NVIDIA GPU.

For me 3080 was not comfortable in native 4k. 60-90 fps is too low for me. I first used DLSS, but I do not like it so I ordered 4090 just because of that.

DLSS 2

The game lists DLSS and the note from Larian does also. Which version of it, is not listed. Could be DLSS 2, But could also be the first version. I mean, why the hell did they use DX11 instead of DX12?

Vulkan supports DLSS.
