RTX 2070 Dual monitor 4K possible?

[Wischmob von Eimer]

Greetings,

right now I use a Nvidia GTX 960 in combination with 2 4K monitors. It can run a 1080p youtube video on one screen and MHW with minimum settings at 30 FPS in 4K on the other.

Naturaly this is not "great" ^^"

Now I am thinking about upgrading to a better graphics card and am looking at a RTX 2070 specifically. Is it able to run MHW @ 60 FPS with somewhat decent settings and still power a 2nd display? All benchmarks I could find only test it with a single display.

The remaining specs of my system are a Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB of RAM and MHW is installed on a 1 TB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSD. So in theory there should be no bottleneck for the GTX 960, it simply is to old.

As long as you're not wanting to run at ultra, you might be able to pull 4k/60 on a 2070. Just be sure things like volumetric rendering are off as it's mostly just ugly and wastes a ton of gpu power.

I play at 1440 on a 2080, myself

Do you use 2 displays, with one running something else aside from MHW?

I do know the 2070 can run the game at near ultra without the volumetric rendering, which itself destroys up to 20FPS (for whatever reason). I just can not find anything about the impact on performance a 2nd display has, when it displays a basic webpage (for example MHW wiki) or runs a 1080p youtube video (for example a MHW weapon/monster guide).

Single display, unfortunately. Don't have the room for a second monitor.

You will be looking at more like 30 FPS for 4K on Highest preset with a 2070: https://overclock3d.net/gfx/articles/2018/10/14154645296l.jpg

Even a 2080 Ti cannot pull 60 FPS in 4K/Highest. Unfortunately, those sites do not always test with tweaked/optimal settings. You can surely get it higher by dropping some of the more intensive settings, but at 4K your bottleneck is the GPU's memory bandwidth, texel and fill rates, not necessarily shaders or the CPU as it would be when expecting 100+ FPS at 1080p, so lowering things has a lot less dramatic effect than at 1080p/1440p. The main source of the FPS costs for 4K comes from running it at 4K.

I can tell you that running 1080p video on a 2nd monitor will have a negligible impact. A few FPS difference maybe, the impact is more pronounced on older GPUs but with any mid- to high-end GPU in the last several generations it would be hard to even measure a difference. Additional desktops really just cost a little more VRAM (45MB or so) and then the CPU and RAM to run whatever you have open on them. If you close everything on the PC and note idle usages in the performance tab of Task Manager and then open up a browser with a video playing, you can see how little it will actually use of everything. With an R5 2600 and 16GB of RAM, you shouldn't be CPU-bound or short on memory enough for it to matter much at all.

I highly doubt it will run at 60 fps with the setup you mentioned. My guess it might run 30 fps.

I run two monitors. One is a 4K and the other is 1080p 144hz. Most of the time I play MHW it is with a youtube video playing on the second screen. Playing MHW on the 1080p monitor I will always get 100 to 120 fps. Playing on the 4k at 1440p it won't stay capped at 60fps.

5960x 8 core cpu, 1080ti, m.2 ssd, 32gb ddr4 2600mhz,

No.
I have a 3.5K monitor and a 1080 and it won't run consistently at 60FPS. It does most of the time but the moment things get intense then it will drop in to the 50's. And that's not even one 4K monitor. You would be better getting a 1080ti for the same money, and even then it's not going to do two monitors.
