Will my pc run 4K?

[tango777]

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.
system
13700@5.5
32gb mem@6700mhz
msi 6900xt 16gb
samsung 980 pro gaming 2t HD
windows 11

Yes, it will do fine. Specially for those titles. The only one on the entire list which will have any issue at all is MSFS2020, and frankly thats because its the Crysis of our time for computers and kills just about anything you toss at it including R9, i9, and RTX 4k. Anyone who argues is using DLSS or FSR to get their performance numbers in line.

As for actual use, as someone who daily drives a 6900xt on both 1440/165 and 4k/60, as long as 4k/60 is the target it will be more than enough.

If 4k 120 is the target look to upgrade to a 7900xtx or nv comparable 4080/4090.

For the other three titles you list aside from MSFS, they will run like butter. FC6 for example runs well into tripple digit fps all maxed including RT at full native 4k.

Re a more modern title, I have been doing Remenant 2 with a bud, I can manage three differing settings depending on which I think looks better:

All ultra, 4k output, FSR Ballanced
or
Mix of "optimised" settings from online + FSR Quality
or
Mix of mostly lows with ultra draw distance and full native 4k no FSR used.

All three offer me ~60fps averages, and of them I typically use the middle option for best overall quality.

CPU is fine for 4K gaming, but your graphics card is more optimial at 1440p resolution and might struggle with 4K. I wouldn't recommend going 4K, unless you have a good budget for a better graphics card and high-end 4K monitor with additional features such as HDR to make it worthwhile.

Currently, you will get a better gaming experience just sticking with 1440p.

Consider a Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card for 4K or wait till the RTX 50xx series even. I would recommend Nvidia RTX series over AMD, due to the DLSS 3 and G-SYNC. For AMD, you would be looking at the slower RX 7900 XTX and want a monitor which supports FreeSYNC. On average, the RTX 4090 however will perform about 56% better than the RX 7900 XT at 4K resolutions. DLSS 3 supported games upon that Nvidia graphics card will also be able to AI frame generate, making back the performance lost (60 FPS back up to 120 FPS, for example), which while some people might consider "cheating" is improved upon with AI training in each new driver update release (so will keep improving it's performance as well as quality over time). For 4K, it's currently the best option available to future proof and run it smoothly upon.

The quality of the 4K monitor itself will matter as well, don't go cheap, budget or low-end 4K, avoid them at all costs and save yourself a headache.

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.

50-60fps is doable ...lol thats garbage gameplay for that rig
not to mention the garbage state AAA games are released in today he'll be sub 50
ALOT !!!

Actually no. I linked to a review video from hardware unboxed for his video card on the first page that demonstrates his video card will manage 50-60 FPS most games @ 4K with max ultra graphics with that card and some games exceeding 70+ FPS.

it's not worth going for 4k unless you are ready for gpu upgrade every year or 2. 50-60 is garbage fps

60 FPS is the bare minimum to be considered "playable" and perfectly fine. Not everyone needs 200+ FPS in all games to be happy. That's just silly.

i never mentioned need of 200+ fps, but you do need 90fps for smoother experience.
i even run my 4k120 tv at 1440p120 for smoothness.

No. We do not at all. What we do need is to match the refresh rate of our screen to be considered "smooth". If the screen is rated for 60 Hz @ 4K then we need 60 FPS and everything will feel perfectly smooth. If they had a 4K screen that only did 30hz then they would only need 30 FPS to feel smooth.

who in their right mind would buy 4k60 monitor these days ?

Okay now you're just being completely elitest for no reason. There are lots of 60 hz screens that are 4K and they're quite cheap, affordable, and very nice. I own one for the living room and it's OLED even and awesome on the computer I have in there.

fair enough, now take a quick look at the OP setup that he/she mentioned, i highly doubt that person would go for 4k60 screen

We should not assume what other people would or would not want to buy or own. That's very rude. Let them decide what they want to buy and own. We can suggest but not tell them exactly what to buy. That's their choice.

Then you dont understand people who use 4k? TBH unless one was wanting to be hard on themselves or just had allot of cash to toss 4k/60 is the sweet spot for 4k. Good enough frame rate to be high quality, low enough that its doable on more than a single GPU (right now I would class anything 6900xt or 3080ti or better as being a solid 4k ready card).

I have been rocking 4k/60 since the Vega/GTX era. Currently pushing it with... wait for it... an R9-5950/6900xt combo ;)

Works great. The GPU is about perfect for 4k at 60-ish averages and for 1440p at high refresh, which is exactly how its used. 1440p/165 for desktop gaming or kb/m gaming. 4k/60 for couch gaming or controller gaming. Either way plenty smooth.

Smoothness has far less to do with FPS than it does frame times tbh. As long as frame times are good you could have 45fps and likely be fine after 1-3 minutes of transition, and thats assuming you are used to high refresh. Can you tell the difference? Sure. Will you mind it *if you give yourself a chance*? Probably not. But its that few minutes of transition that freaks people out. It goes both ways, game on a 60hz screen and the first few minutes back at 165 everything feels "fast" even though its not any faster. Its just the mind adjusting.

It is not worth to buy the 4k monitor at under 32 inch screen, because it could looks appear to be same as the 1440p based on distance between yourself and the monitor. Plus, it will cost a lot of money just for to be able to play AAA games at 4k.
