Which graphics settings would you turn down first?

[q974739]

So for reasons I've had to upgrade from a 1080p screen to an ultra wide 1440. (3400x1440, or something). Unfortunately it's still the same 2060 running the display.

What graphics settings would you turn down first, in such a situation? Excluding the obvious answer of Ray tracing. Take that as given.

depends what settings a game has but i have found that turning these off or to low helps

Horizon zero dawn currently, but I was being deliberately generic. Who knows what I'm playing next week!

I'd even consider resolution scaling as option if a new card is going to be purchased in the near future.

Couldb you explain that slightly? Why if in the near future?

Is your new monitor G-sync compatible? If so, what refresh rate does it have? You might not need such a high framerate if you have G-sync enabled. Otherwise you might need to reduce settings until you can get a stable framerate above 60 to run with V-sync (ideally triplebuffered) on in order to avoid screen tearing.

Both g sync and freesync. Deliberate buying choice, knowing the 2060 would have to be replaced some time! Currently set to 60hz, but could go up to 144 - if I want to hear the GPU cry.

2060 at that res. in modern games? I'd just squint, or sniff an onion before playing.

I just need to look at my old, dead screen for that

Install Game Force Experience,>optimise all.

No. I will not pay Nvidia a penny for services. They can release a card at a sane price point out thay can go to hell.

The resolution.

Ok, I'll bite. To what resolution would you go? Why?
