I have a 2070 super with dual 1440 monitors. Spider-Man remastered runs at 90fps, high settings, with ray tracing so I’m not sure what this article is getting at with how only the newest high end video cards match consoles.
I often use my second monitor but just from a practical perspective, it doesn’t need to be all that nice. You may consider just upgrading your main monitor. Though, like you mentioned, an ultra wide might be a good choice.
I run one 1440p and one 1080p on a 6750XT, most games run fine for me. Have you tried with the 3070?
I mostly mean one day I’ll be able to justify dropping $1k on an ultrawide and be done with it. I know I’m absolutely underutilizing my card.
I've got a 1080p monitor and a 4k TV in my house and have used my computer plugged into each. The TV is also better for a lot of non-resolution reasons so sometimes I'll want to move it there for those factors but in terms of displaying the 4k visuals, I honestly don't think it makes a difference for me at all. Rendering the image at 4k internally has all sorts of benefits for the graphics but displaying that internally 4k image on the 1080 monitor retains all those benefits so I don't see any point in buying a higher-definition monitor.
But the thing is, I never even wanted 4k on the TV at all. I didn't want it to be smart, either. I just wanted good-looking colors and it became impossible to find a TV that put the effort into what I cared about that didn't come with the other features. So I suspect that when I do ever replace my monitor, it's probably also going to strong-arm me into having a higher resolution that I don't actually want. And I can't help but assume this is a big portion of what's leading to these survey results.
Hmmm… I’m going to buy a new monitor and it will be 2560x1080. Because prices are insane
