Some games are playable at 4k. But you need some heavy hardware to run them.
enchanter100
I've been doing that DSR thingy from nvidia. Makes games run at 4k but then downsamples them to 1080p.. Of course I have 2x970's sli..
watersbottled
Most games lately are. Something like a titan or 980 or equivalent will be needed for decent frames
Definitely. Those 980s are an al-right price when on sale
walterpeck
I'd much rather have better textures and lighting than 4K. But that's just me.
eggmuffin
FPS comes first. Textures come second. Resolution comes third. Then there's a tossup between a whole slew of other fancy visuals.
The most important thong to have is at least 60 FPS, then textures and then resolution
Yeah I'll agree to that. I played Timesplitters again the other day and wept.
muffins4
I played TS2 about a year ago and wept, because it was choppy and didn't have mouse support. The emulator is what failed me.
Yeah I played it natively. blurry as fuck but so fast.

Why is this on the front page?
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
As a PC owner, at least peasants don't have to worry whether their GPU and driver version will support it without weird issues.
That happens? I have a nvidia card, and I haven't had a single issue.
Dreamare
It tends to be more of a problem with AMD users, because AMD tends to be shitty with driver updates, but even then, not a super big deal.
TWNero
I'd say this used to be the case. I haven't had problems with AMD drivers in a long time though.
Thekingofbeans
There's still a limit to the resolution in the game's texture packs. It's not like CSI where you can make more resolution out of nowhere.
OktoberSunset
Until some crazy mofugga makes a high resolution texture mod. PC Master Race wins again.
Yeah but that doesn't invalidate the question for the base game, and people making texture packs for battlefield need to rethink their lives
vielleicht
r/pcmasterrace would never accept me because i am poor and my pc is not better than any console
Strife89
I hear ya. My rig just barely plays Portal 2 at a playable speed - and only on the lowest graphical settings (except resolution: 1024x768).
AustralopithecusBoisei
you're wrong, sure it's nice to push the settings to the limit, but playing on PC is not all about graphics but mods, Steam/Origin/xxx, indy
Tsumino79
its not the hardware in your hands its the software in your heart (or something)
I built mine two years ago, and surprisingly I'm still playing on High/Ultra and 60fps
Lionskull
the fact that you are playing on a PC promotes you from peasant.
DrKojak
i still find it hilarious that the Wii U is the only console of the current gen that has 1080p and 60fps as the base minimum for their games
Except that's not true. 60FPS yes, but most of the first party games tend to be 720p.
oh, well i don't believe most of the first-party games, but i'm probably mistaken, still nice to see bayo and smash bros are good though.
The WII U doesn't have hardware that powerful
Sarkofagen
You seem to have misunderstood how this works. PS3/XB360 can do 1080p 60fps too but the developers prioritize better graphics instead.
No, I know perfectly well how it works. I'm talking about if you want to have pretty looking graphics too.
whyexactly
There's a lot more to a game than resolution and framerate
JustCallMeBean
Pretty much all of Nintendo's first-party games are leagues beyond PS4 and Xbone's. What's really hurting them is their insistence on (1)
commiting to gimmicks (which apparently Xbone didn't learn from) and less third-party games that release on the others. (2)
Feel free to correct me, but Nintendo has always been strong with first-party but really weak with third party.
The Wii and Wii U yeah; not sure about Gamecube and N64. SNES and NES I'm sure faired much better.
I was more referring to the visuals themselves though, 1080p60 doesn't matter if your models and animations don't make good use of it
60 frames are great regardless of the textures(depending on how movement-oriented the game is), but 1080p I agree with you on.

The upscailing is actually pretty nice. Go check one out with 1080 content playing at bestbuy. they'll let you demo your own disc.
That might be with 1080p (and at least here, tv is in 720p). But again, try watching a DVD on a flatscreen. I don't want to play like that.

Where's 2k QHD?
2K is not a common resolution
4K is really enough, but 8K is the future
gakio12
Nah, 4k is almost enough. At 28" I can still see aliasing with AA off. Once you no longer need AA, then it's enough; 8k should deliver.
CrookedMan
Both are honestly unnecessary. At some point, the human eye won't be able to detect a difference....we'll need robot eyes.
Happybutterbutterflyvolcano
Our eyes caps out at 3800ish I believe. but yeah, our eyes caps out at 24-30 fps aswell. We can't comprehend higher than that.
I know that Vsauce did a video about it, but I forgot the specifics, so thanks for reminding me.
FatLobyte
Isn't 4k already about the resolution that a human eye can resolve at the avg distance of head-monitor?

You do realize unless you get a special gaming monitor odds are it's only capable of displaying 60 fps, right? Even the expensive gaming 1/2

Serious question, how does your GPU handle that?
Money
bouxer
Just use 8x SSAA (Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing) and BOOM, there you have it, a game at 8k (rendered) and a dead computer... atleast mine...
ocegur
I don't get the point of getting more than a 1080p on a standard PC screen that is below 23". It also forces you to get overpriced gpu.
well, you can downscale the picture, what makes it a lot more fancier
How? You still have the same max amount of pixels on your screen.
The PC renders a bigger picture and puts more pixels in one. So you don't need Anti-aliasing

console games have set framerates while pc games go as hard and as fast as your pc can handle because you can adjust the settings.
Well, yes about the set framerates, but as the image was more focused on, set game resolutions.

To be fair, there are some really shitty console to PC ports that have a fixed resolution, I think some of Square-Enix's games do that on PC
I have to second @Lionskull on this one. Before the age of Steam, it was frustrating to see all the money earmarked for console devs.
I'm pretty sure that things like this are the reason PCmasterrace exists. the prioritization of consoles at the expense of the PC.

I'd say the primary reason it exists is to tell everyone they're superior ( based on the content from there we see here )

That might be with 1080p (and at least here, tv is in 720p). But again, try watching a DVD on a flatscreen. I don't want to play like that.

Where's 2k QHD?
Nonfaktor
2K is not a common resolution
Nonfaktor
4K is really enough, but 8K is the future
gakio12
Nah, 4k is almost enough. At 28" I can still see aliasing with AA off. Once you no longer need AA, then it's enough; 8k should deliver.
CrookedMan
Both are honestly unnecessary. At some point, the human eye won't be able to detect a difference....we'll need robot eyes.
Happybutterbutterflyvolcano
Our eyes caps out at 3800ish I believe. but yeah, our eyes caps out at 24-30 fps aswell. We can't comprehend higher than that.
CrookedMan
I know that Vsauce did a video about it, but I forgot the specifics, so thanks for reminding me.
FatLobyte
Isn't 4k already about the resolution that a human eye can resolve at the avg distance of head-monitor?
Sheepination
Nah man, 2^8K is the future!
AdamNeverAskedForThisJensen
64K is the future!

4k is more than enough! I would kill to have 4k.

Sometime I sit here running a game like tf2 at like 300 fps and I wonder what's the point lol
TheCommunistComrade
You do realize unless you get a special gaming monitor odds are it's only capable of displaying 60 fps, right? Even the expensive gaming 1/2
TheCommunistComrade
monitors can generally only do 144 fps

My graphics card can just about drive my 1080p monitor, let alone 16 times that resolution.

4 times*

16.

Four times in each direction. 4^2 is 16. 16 times overall resolution.

Serious question, how does your GPU handle that?
Nonfaktor
Money
bouxer
Just use 8x SSAA (Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing) and BOOM, there you have it, a game at 8k (rendered) and a dead computer... atleast mine...
ocegur
I don't get the point of getting more than a 1080p on a standard PC screen that is below 23". It also forces you to get overpriced gpu.
Nonfaktor
well, you can downscale the picture, what makes it a lot more fancier
ocegur
How? You still have the same max amount of pixels on your screen.
Nonfaktor
The PC renders a bigger picture and puts more pixels in one. So you don't need Anti-aliasing
JCrashB

Jameszombob
console games have set framerates while pc games go as hard and as fast as your pc can handle because you can adjust the settings.
Dreamare
Well, yes about the set framerates, but as the image was more focused on, set game resolutions.
Jameszombob
thats what i meant, my bad.
Griffy11
Consoles have set resolutions, pc are adjustable based on rig specs and monitor capabilities.
Dreamare
I know.
Agorbs
am I the only person that doesn't even care anymore?

Nope. We own a couple PCs and various consoles, and we just play whatever we want.

Nope. I just play SNES and Playstation ROMS on my macbook. If I cared I would be obliged to commit suicide.

I personally don't feel like spending $4k every year just to say I can game in 4k resolution.

I'm not. But "I / we don't care" is the most useless comment in the history of the world. Let people who care enjoy their stuff. Care police

I mean, it was meant to be a joke on 4K, but I guess it didn't land. Not as funny as I think I am today, I suppose.
EveryChickenInThisPlace
I know, I'm joking too :p
demonjester1515
I figured, I meant more it must not have landed since it's getting downvoted. *shrug*

To be fair, there are some really shitty console to PC ports that have a fixed resolution, I think some of Square-Enix's games do that on PC
eggmuffin
I have to second @Lionskull on this one. Before the age of Steam, it was frustrating to see all the money earmarked for console devs.
Lionskull
I'm pretty sure that things like this are the reason PCmasterrace exists. the prioritization of consoles at the expense of the PC.
okhi
I'd say the primary reason it exists is to tell everyone they're superior ( based on the content from there we see here )
pokemontrainergreene
I will honestly come out and say that I downvote all pc and console related posts. Unless they're .gifs of funny things during gameplay

I do too. It's people's choice what they play on. I'm not buying a PC if all my friends have a fucking Xbox!
