2080 super good enogh for 1440p gaming ?

[Speedy]

hey fellas i hope you are having a good day.
im planing to go from 1080p to 1440p, naturraly that is more taxing for the gpu, my question is, can my gpu still hold, or should i just get a 24 inch 1080p monitor and be done with it. thanks

get the monitor and play with settings on a per-game bases.....you should be fine.....

No problem.

Probably should've mentioned Alan Wake II[videocardz.com], Starfield[www.pcworld.com] and Street Fighter 6[www.techspot.com] are other popular games where it's looking more like a 1080p card than a 1440p card, but yeah, there are other games like Baldur's Gate Ⅲ that are lower spec. too and the monitor might hang around for decades. I'd type out the specs. but meh, I think you can take a look for yourself.

Also, if worse comes to worse and you find yourself regretting it you can just employ one of a few different upscaling options. There's Nvidia Image Scaling[nvidia.custhelp.com] since you are on a nvidia card, F.S.R. 3.1 is going to decouple image scaling from frame generation. D.L.S.S. also got started on the 2000 series.

Most importantly, if you don't like any of those options, a 1440p monitor is four times the resolution of 720p, so you can scale back to that and integer scale back up to 1440p. I mean, nobody likes to be playing at 720p in 2024, but it's better to have the option to do that than to be stuck at 1080p and wishing you could scale up to 1440p but you can't because 1080p is the native resolution of your monitor.

Wouldn't really recommend a 2080S for 1440p, better suited for 1080p at this point, minimum 2080 Ti or 3070 for 1440p

It is fine, some of these people are spaced-out and not sure what they are talking about.

I would be very careful getting recommendations from children that just got into PC gaming.

a 980ti was already plenty to game on 1440p easely in 2016
an 2080ti also is.

that said.. 1440p in 2016 also ment GAMES from 2016... modern games logically are more demanding.
(and if you turn on RTX than fps will drop.. 1440p with RTX vs 1440p in traditional GTX mode is a different story)

but a 2080 super, rtx on, ultra settings in the heaviest modern titles.. should most likely still be able to get around 70fps.. in 1440p
in most games.. with rtx off.. it will still perform much better than that.

[Dutchgamer1982]

in todays world :

1440p (good 100+ fps)
*3080 and up
*4070 and up

1440p (playable 60+ fps)
**all 4xxx series gpu
**3060ti and up
*2080, 2080S, 2080Ti, titan RTX
*titan V

so outdated are
-3060, and 3050
-2070S and lower
-all 1xxx series cards (including titan X and XP
-all 9xx series cards

and those numbers presume ultimate settings.. so if you are willing to run medium settings and turn off rtx.. those numbers improve...

Game reqs. are getting jacked recently. We've just entered a new C.P.U. generation (technically), and we're possibly on the cusp of a new G.P.U. generation as well.

It looks like you can get a lock on 60 F.P.S. in cyberpunk 2077 at maximum settings if you turn off ray tracing, but game requirements are starting to get jacked recently: Starfield only manages 30 F.P.S. on 1440p high and 40 on medium. Alan Wake II doesn't even have a lock on 30 at low settings. Looks like you can get a lock on 60 on Street Fighter 6 though, so maybe it is not even as bad as I thought.

It'll be fine for some, maybe even most, games at 1440p, but definitely not the heaviest ones.

just put into youtube whatever games you play


"RTX 2080 super (whatever game) 1440p"

generally speaking newer demanding games will struggle to hit above 60fps at 1440p with high settings, but most games from before 2021 will usually run fine.

i'd still get the 1440p monitor as when you upgrade your GPU eventually
it'll be nice to have the monitor already.
