All relative I suppose depending on your resolution. For 1440p that would be absolute overkill but for 4k it’s enough just.

It's not if you want path tracing. And some people want 100-200fps wihout frame gen and at the very least, with DLSS Quality.
For me, 4080 is kinda ok for 1080p for now.

Ah yes path tracing seems to require a lot of gpu grunt.
Mid range GPUs will probably let get there in 2 gens I expect.

By 'overkill' do you mean image is too pretty or frame rate too high? Even with upscaling 4090 struggles with everything maxxed in some of today's games.
Yep! I play a lot of RDR2 and if you up the settings it can quickly be brought to it's knees at 4K. Any talk of 'overkill' is copium nonsense.4090 1440p UW....When you push the settings up on an older game like RDR 2

Probably FPS but this is at 1440p not 4k.
7900xt or the 4070ti Super is probably the ceiling for 1440p in terms of gpu grunt required to have a good experience.

thats exactly why we need a 5090

4090s going to be listed under barely meeting requirements by feb 2025..
24GB enough thread when?

4090 overkill? Depends on your eyes, hardware and past experience. VR quickly puts a 4090 to it's knees and unfortunately DLSS isn't quite good enough yet, supersampling is still needed for best results. Also I am very sensitive to motion resolution and a lot of my gaming is twitch shooters were I'm spinning all directions tracking people without much still time so a gpu that can run 480+ fps for my mp fps games is needed

You know it's not accurate
Either some folks have their systems set up wrong or their 4090s are a bit busted? The most hardened GFX games out today (path traced) all run at 100fps+ when utilising all the modern tech RTX has to offer at 4K and some of us have demonstrated this in videos and RTSS screens plenty of times.
Unless by struggle people are referring to not being able ot get near 240fps for a 240Hz display, well no GPU will be able to do that in modern engines like UE5, the RTX 5090 won't even get there lol.
My personal view is that once you get top 100fps however that might be and with max GFX settings, you're in the best possible position. Games at launch that are bugged or unoptimised do not count and people need to stop normalising this sort of commentary by claiming a GPU isn't capable because it can't run game x that just launched over 80fps at 4K etc.
As for RDR2, I actually forgot how that ran even though I installed it again a few months ago, so re-downloaded it and ran the benchmark:
Using 4K native, manual ultra settings inc advanced:
24GB was never enough and you know it

Well since you can't see more than <insert whatever current value is accepted> frames then it's all wasted anyway

Looks like you have a few of the settings turned off like the FXAA & MSAA compared to my benchmark
Am just trying to update my game and load it to have a look
Man of Honour
Why would you have FXAA enabled? It's an ancient AA method that makes everything look soft, TAA is the only thing of note and that's on. MSAA is also inefficient and ancient, again, superseded by TAA.
Have you been playing RDR2 all this time with the worst settings
