DirectX 11 class graphics card performance WQHD & Ultra HD
We move up towards the gaming resolution of choice for PC gamers anno 2015 Wide Quad HD or WQHD which is a resolution of 2560x1440. Let's call it a little more sexy opposed to Full HD ok? Monitor resolutions you'll notice that the numbers are start crumbling down significantly. Honestly you are looking at a Radeon R9 290X or GeForce GTX 980 for a proper FPS with these quality settings versus the benchmark versus this resolution. Both the 290X and 980 perform really good.
Right Ultra HD then ...
BTW look at the performance CRUMBLE in Ultra HD, these cards all will need to drop down from 4xMSAA towards 2xMSAA. But again, I can't show you that due to the lockout. The GTX 780 Ti crumbles, it is a 3GB VRAM card, this resolution versus our settings eat close to 4 GB of graphics memory. We'll show you that on the next page.
Obviously we are showing performance with the best image quality settings. but that can be changed to achieve a good average framerate of course. With a 4GB GeForce GTX 980 if you disable AA you will immediately get a perf boost bump upwards over 40 FPS. Have a peek at some of the quality modes we tested in Ultra HD.
