Can I Play Games in 4k?
You're thinking about building a gaming setup with an Intel Core i5-7500, 24 GB RAM, and a GTX 1080. Since you're new to assembling computers, it's good to know what to expect. Running games like Overwatch and Rocket League in 4K will be challenging but possible with the right components. A 4K monitor would definitely help, but only if you can fully utilize it. Let me know if you need tips on getting started!
At 4K it usually isn't the case, though the title makes a big difference.
It's possible using your 1060 to play Doom Ultra at 4K around 40 FPS and PCars with decent performance at 4K.
Many will say a certain graphics card can’t handle 60fps at 4K with “very high/ultra/epic” options. Disregard their opinions. It depends on the game’s age and how much you’re willing to lower settings from “Very High” to “High.” Spending a few minutes adjusting can make a big difference. A 1070 or Fury works just fine. A 1080 offers even better performance. My R9 Fury can run 4K High/Ultra in Overwatch at over 60fps, so a 1080 will only improve it. Rocket League runs smoothly on most setups. PUBG performs well across the board, and a 4K display scales nicely. Doom Vulkan maintains 60fps at 4K with minimal tweaking, and you’ll see even better results. Generally, if the game is two years old or newer, you should be fine. If it’s newer and pushing your card to its limits, medium-high settings will still look great, giving you flexibility to balance frame rate and graphics quality.
