World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)

Nope. 4K is still too demanding for 4090 with RT. Would happily change for a gen2 UW though ;)
Are you sure!

Cyberpunk is the only game that uses RT so heavily, and that runs at 4k res just fine on a 4090.


^ That's DLDSR 5160x2160 which has an overhead impact to fps than native 4K as well.

If you're talking about RT without using any DLSS/FG etc then yes depending on the game, although quite why you'd not use DLSS for the superior reconstruction and detail improvement would be brought into question anyway :p

Alan Wake in 3440x1440 with FG and DLSS Q dips below 80FPS(cant even imagine how unplayable this is in 4k :D) - and after being used to play most titles >100fps I just find 60fps(and that all you really can aim for in 4k) too stuttery. So yeah - in my view we are not yet ready for buttery smooth 4k

:o

I covered AW2 in a video a while back both 3440x1440 (DLSSQ) and 5160x2160 (DLSS Performance). Naturally the fps would be even higher at 16:9 4K


What's your CPU? Sounds like that could be the limiting factor there?

13900k with optimized 2nd order timings on ram.
I am not saying it always dips to 80fps, but it dips sometimes. Most of the performance reviews show around 70fps in 4k average(DLSS Q/FG on) thats just too low for me. I find 70fps with FG laggy.
 
Keep in mind that there are performance optimisation issues with the AW2 engine, this should not be a factor to judge ray or path tracing as there's no logical reason why a linear corridor survival horror should have any fps dips when a fully open world shooter with way more going on has no fps dips and both games are using the same ray and path tracing but with different engines.

Use cyberpunk as the example of good optimisation when measuring performance with ray and path tracing.

Anyone moving from their 34" to the new 32" 4k 16.9 AW oleds?

Me. But only when it makes sense. I am in zero rush as what we have is very good as it is.

Once I see a deal where coupons+amex+cashback+credit card cashback = £700 or so I will grab it and sell this.

My guess 6-12 months which is fine by me as I am not gaming much now anyway.


No. 21:9 is life.

16:9 is a superior life. No need to buy games and get disappointed and refund :p


It's gen 2 qd-oled and has a new front anti glare filter too so I'd expect so!

The native 4k Res is compelling though for sure. I guess it would depend on the price.

Exactly. Surprised you are even considering mrk :D

Just get one, try it and see how you get on. If not send it back. Would love seeing you go to 16:9 ;)
 
I'm in 2 minds really, I absolutely love 21.9 and I know I could do 21.9 custom res. on the 32" and still have a decent experience since black bars on top and bottom will be black.

But having 4k/higher res. is definetly more beneficial nowadays especially when it comes to upscaling. DLDSR works incredibly well but sadly more often than not it is a faff with having to change the res. in windows first before launching the game then when you switch back, your windows are all ****** in size and where they are positioned.

The lack of ultrawide is the reason to not get one for me. There's no going back to gaming at 16:9. I've had 21:9 since before the world's first 21:9 34" got released, and it was that day that I realised I could never go back to 16:9 gaming, which is also why I've never played on consoles (The last of us and GTA5 being exceptions but only because the PS3 was like £150 back then and I sold it for not much less after the games were done) ) since then either. We already have 39" 21:9 ultrawides with 5k res coming anyway so why bother with an interim 32" 16:9 is my view.

Meh. I will go back to 16:9 with no issues whatsoever.

32" 16:9 is almost as wide anyway. Each to their own though. No right or wrong, just preferce :D

For me 34" 3440x1440 is the perfect size and res. I've tried 32" 4K and it was nice but to my eyes it doesn't look that different, Plus 3440x1440 is a lot easier to run and, Again personal preference, Ultrawide 1440P is a lot more immersive.

That's the thing I see the difference quite a bit. If not I would not bother. That is why I use DLDSR so much and value it with this monitor.

Probably the biggest reason I see it more than most is because I am no more than 2 foot away typically. Sometimes more if I kick back with a controller.

Many here seem to be 4 foot away. Well yeah, I probably won't see much difference at that distance either :cry:

I can also se the difference but to me it's simply not worth the extra performance even though I can run 4K no issue it's just not that appealing to me, Each to their own though :)
