4k monitor

[CisTer-dB-]

I am in the process of upgrading my rig, I am considering 4 k monitor. Does BoS will perform well on a 4k monitor?

Great question.  

[Capt_Stubing]

You will need some serious GPU performance to run at the native res of 4K. It will be game dependent.

I'd say the textures used for planes etc. are too low res. You won't see much of a difference.

Especially in the cockpits .

It should run in 4K, but we do not have a 4K monitor yet. Still quite pricey.

I should have asked if we will be able to play it with the 4K res (3840 x 2160)OR maybe I should go for a 2560x1440 res monitor instead.

4k would be amazing for spotting planes, but you would need a couple of titans to get playable framerates

[CisTer-dB-]

Yes Indeed it would   for what I read you need 2 GPU with an SLI

    Hight resolution is a great improvement for anti-aliasing, my sugestion is the resolution setting with 4K, this will be the standart in next years, the TVs is ready to be the monitor.

2 titan to run it, good luck!

S!

 

 I would be happy to have 2560x1440. 4K would require too much of hardware upgrading to be an enjoyable experience.

Don't waste your money on a 30hz 4K monitor. Also beware of monitors claiming 60+hz as it may only be 60@1080p.

 

Here are the only 4K monitors I would buy at this time:

And this one which isn't really 4K but I do like 21:9 for flight sims:

You can test this without a new monitor. Just set your GPU to a custom resolution of 4k. I don't remember exactly how but you can do a search.

Will 1C will design the game witch such an high resolution (3840 x 2160) is the question, of course I can plug an 4K monitor if I have the hardware for it.  But it's no use if, because the game res, the game makes 1/4 of the screen.

Thats typically not how games work. You will be able to run the game at any resolution and the polys will be rendered as such. The textures however can only be as hi quality as the devs include.

 Sharpe, I think it is called downsampling. I am pretty content with my current 121Hz screen, even it is only 23". A good 27" or 28" would be nice too.

[Maxiku]

I haven't got a 4k monitor but I can confirm it runs beautifully at 2560x1600 on my 30" Dell monitor using a HD7990 graphics card.

 

Hope it helps.

Thank you

 Maxiku, how is the scaling of XFire in BoS as you seem to use a dual-GPU card.
