by his standard literally only the 4090 is strong enough for UW 1440p gaming. a little ridiculous of a standard here lol

[TheKims]

Black Myth even brings the 4090 to it's knees. 4K max settings you will get around 20fps.

[JHNWICK]

My 7900xtx brings in native resolution, 120fps on my UHD 43" Monitor in Warzone 3!
3840x2160
So it's logical, that 3440x1440 bring 160fps Minimum.

Idk i bought the rx 7900 gre for ultrawide 1440p. No problem here. I wouldn't spend 300 more in my case for the rtx 4070ti super just for raytracing or just for it being nvidia.
I also would get the xtx over the 4090. spending in most cases more than double isn't worth the up to 30% performance increase. Mind I'm saying up to. Some games literally have like 10fps increase. Also don't come at me with, ,but raytracing". Literally an nvidia favoring feature, dedicated to the rt cores that nvidia has. A unfair comparison. I'm more impressed by the ability of amd cards without those rt cores. I get more value out of amd and I will continue to do so.

[Reluctant_Hero]

Yes, we know. AMD doesn’t do ray tracing. Why are we beating this dead horse? And yes, FSR sucks. But again we’re beating a dead horse.

Now that those two issues are pit to bed. I’d love to see you compare Nvidia and AMD GPUs in a head to head manner without any upscaling. 4080 super vs 7900 XTX, 4070 Ti super vs 7900 XT, and 4070 super vs 7900 GRE.

Keep up the great work.

You forgot to mention Wukong is paid for by nvidia, same as Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2. Still wonder why AMD is so disadvantaged here?

I use 7900 xtx for my 6k monitor. But I play optimised games on it. Horizon series, Death Stranding, Crysis remastered (no raytracing, honestly can't see any difference without comparing still frames) to name a few. All mentioned run on max settings, with AA and around 60 fps.

Cyberpunk has got a new update now, promising latest version of FSR aaaand it's FSR 3, not 3.1 (of course they also updated DLSS too now). Go figure.

That part of about GoF only confirms this monopolistic behavior from team green. When devs make GPU agnostic games, nvidia has nothing on AMD in terms of value.

[Accuaro]

4:00 I think that's VRAM being allocated, not dedicated. Also this game uses the RTXDI SDK for RT along with gameworks, so it's no surprise that AMD gpus don't perform well in raster let alone RT. Additionally, Wukong uses FSR 3 and not 3.1 which not only stops pre 40 series Nvidia users from having FG + DLSS but also means AMD users get the short end of the stick. Crazy for a new game to not have the latest FSR version even though it's been out for a while, but again it's an Nvidia sponsored game. Cyberpunk 2077 also just got FSR 3 yesterday (not 3.1) and it looks worse than FSR 2.1 it's replacing. Shocking, really.

[gamefandrg]

are you kidding? I use 6800 on my ultrawide.

[eliasaguilar]

I just built my pc and I’m running a 4080 super and I am really big fan of AAA games and I am big on quality but I am really debating on an ultra wide 3440x1440 or a 4k monitor. Any advice?

[emilpapis]

Just farming the Nvidia fanboys. Smart.

[dakterwakz]

the Black Myth Wukong results must be bugged, it's not that bad even at 4k which is more demanding than 3440x1440

[thesecretlab]

I think you need to stop fan boying for Nvidia

[lieinking]

Do you think DLSS performance is better than FSR quality?

[Tubes]

I'm using a 7800xt with an 7800x3d. Still works well enough on my 34" ultrawide 1440p OLED. Just tweak a few settings.

[Vews]

Black Myth: Wukong is an unoptimized mess that's running on the latest version of Unreal Engine... Lumen (which is enabled by default) brings any GPU to it's knees begging for mercy, and going for RT(which for this game is Path Tracing and we know how it went with Cyberpunk 2077) + Lumen is absolute madness, the 4090 barely keeps 60 FPS on 1440p with Frame Generation and DLSS enabled.

I'd honestly say that it's a good presentation video regarding the RX 7900 XTX strictly for gaming, but Frame Generation is a blessing for either brand of GPU at this point.

[TheGlobuleReturns]

You have a serious problem with your setup, these numbers are hilarious. Also RT and Wukong on an AMD card was a suspicious choice for the first test here... You should try to make it less obvious.

[hitts]

This game was built to be run on next gen hardware

[GeoCaesar]

The best feature in terms of graphics from and is fluid motion frames, it’s a driver setting but the fidelity issues on afmf are way less pronounced than in game implementations of fsr, the most noticeable part is some ui flickering, but if you ignore that it’s really good

[yashomb]

Cinematic Black Myth does 110fps at native 1440p with FG. you should have tried setting that as well

[kmered]

would you recommend a 4080 super at this price point instead?
