Will my pc run 4K?
I currently have a 1440 monitor and would like to upgrade to a 4K. I play BF, MSFS2020,planet coaster,farming simulator 22, and farcry 6 to name a few.

Functionally? Sure.

Performance? Subjective.

Here's the thing though, only your opinion about that matters because you're the one using it.

And you have a method to find out in real-time. nVidia and AMD both have features to allow custom resolutions more easily (nVidia's is DSR and AMD's is VSR). While they use different downscaling methods so quality may differ, so don't pay that much mind, the performance will be the same as if you were actually running it at that resolution. Because internally, the GPU is rendering at that resolution. It's just being downsampled for your display.

So create a 4K resolution using VSR and try it. The answer you come away with is the answer to the question you're asking.

As well as most cards can yeah, because not much else to upgrade too.

so what res. in vsr would I use?

You have a good enough graphics card for 4K but at that resolution avoid Anti Aliasing and Raytracing. Both might add too much workload for the GPU to handle at that resolution. I would recommend using high/very high settings for a better framerate instead of ultra as ultra provides little to no visual gain.
As for the VSR resolution, try using 3840x2160. It´s the most common 4K resolution out there.

i would advise you to stick to 1440p unless you are running 4080-4090 with dlss on.

In recent years, Game devs pretty much force you to enable dlss and frame gen for playable performance, A very bad trend that alot of devs abuse instead of optimizing there game.

Gaming industry is screwed rn

You have the right hardware but you can't be so sure recent games will be playable at 4k

a 4k monitor will run 4k,2k,1080p etc,buy and try..at worse reduce a few graphic settings...im sure 8k isnt to far away

Gonna need like a 6090 ti with dlss 5.0 for that no?

4K, since that's what you're asking about, no?

That would be 3840 x 2160 for PC land.

Everyone here can only give you their own guesses. You can skip that and answer it for yourself because only your own opinion matters here. Just remember to only be looking at the performance, not quality, because 4K downscaled and showing on your 1440p monitor won't be what you should expect from an actual 4K display.
If you do get a 4K screen then make sure you don't over-spend on anything faster than 60 Hz. Your 6900-XT is only good for 50-60 FPS @ 4K for most games.

depends what you play and what you consider quality gaming if its for graphics
yes if its for gameplay not really.this all depends on the games as well new AAA
most of the time will be lower fps.so you'll be tanking your settings to compesate
and is it really worth it at that point.IMO your better off running 1440 and having the best of
both worlds and being able to power thru the crappy AAA releases.

I "upgraded" to 4K and then downgraded to 1440p again. Seriously, 4K is still difficult for some games. You would do better buying a higher quality 1440P. Buying 4K you lock yourself in to buying the most expensive video cards.

If you can spare a few bucks, sell your 6900XT and get a 7900XTX. 40-50% more poerformance on 4K.
Im coming from a 6900XTX myself and the 7900XTX was a gamechanger on 3440x1440x and 5120x×2160x

If not, your system will do just fine on 4K. Like already mentioned, 50-60 FPS should be doable in AAA games. Forget about RT though.
Not gonna happen on this card.
