YouTube’s “ThirtyIR” has shared two new videos, showing Far Cry 5 and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare running in 8K on Max settings on two NVIDIA Titan RTX GPUs in SLI. Both of these games were unable to hit a constant 60fps experience, meaning that you can lock them at 30fps in case you are interested in running them at 8K with such a PC system.
What’s interesting here is the performance difference between two Titan RTX and two GeForce GTX1080Ti graphics cards in Far Cry 5. Back in April 2018 we shared a story in which DudeRandom84 used two NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080Ti in Far Cry 5 running it with 30fps in 8K on custom settings. Fast forward a few months and here we are with two Titan RTX GPUs running the game on Max settings with more than 30fps.
As said, it is currently impossible to run the aforementioned games in 8K on Max settings with 60fps. However, we are pretty sure that a 60fps experience may be possible in 8K by lowering the settings on High (or by using a mix of Ultra, High and Medium?).
It’s really fascinating witnessing modern-day games running in such ridiculously high resolutions. I mean, most PC gamers won’t be able to experience such a thing themselves however there are benefits for gaming in this type of resolutions even for those that are still on 1080p monitors. By downsampling, you can eliminate most of the jaggies without the need to use TAA (an anti-aliasing technique that blurs the whole image) or any other sort of AA.
Yes, you need two Titan RTXs to be able to game in 8K (meaning that you’ll have to pay around $5000 just for the GPUs, though two RTX2080Tis should get you close to that performance as well). And while this seems a bit ridiculous nowadays, a few years ago some were also calling ridiculous running games in 4K with 60fps on max settings. And… well… here we are today with systems that can actually do so!
Enjoy!

This blog always gives a good chuckle.
My single GTX 1080 Ti can run those games at 16k/16fps on Max Settings
“Call of Duty… at 30fps… $5000 just for the GPUs”
#pre-ordercancelled ?
And another $4,000 for the monitor.
So cinematic!
Lol, that’s EPIC. Imagine paying $20,000 USD just to play games on 16K/120 or 60 fps in near future ! :d

Now. C’mon can we get some quality articles, unlike these same old repeated posts. I mean, I can see the trend here on DSOG, like texture mods, emulators/ESRGAN, 4K/8K, RTX 2080 Ti, and stuff like that.
It’s almost the same repetitive stuff, if you ask me. Not offending you though.
‘@Metal Messiah’ gave some pretty good suggestions/articles lately for you to post, and they were indeed worth giving a read. Please bring more variety.
It’s just way too early to even think about 8K gaming. Right now mainstream gaming is 1080p and about 1.5% of gamers are on 4K according to the Steam Hardware Survey. The vast majority of gamers can’t afford enough GPU to run even 4K and 8K is 4 times as many pixels to process as 4K and 16 times as many pixels to process as 1080p.
8K at 60 FPS is processing about 2 billion pixels per second. It’s going to be a long, long time before a mainstream GPU for a reasonable price can perform at that level and maybe never if we don’t find a different material than silicon to use for GPUs.
With GameWorks and RTX enabled such an epic GPU will be affordable to the masses in time for the release of Star Citizen. /s
Yup. I don’t see this trend changing anytime soon though. 1080p is still going to be a dominant resolution for gaming for few many more years, imo.
Thought 1080p was 2 million pixels? 4k 8 million, and 8k 16 million. I’m sure your not talking about pixel count however.
That’s right about 1080p and 4K but 8K is 2X width in pixels and 2X length in pixels of 4K so it is 4 times as many pixels as 4K
8K = 7680 X 4320 = 33 million pixels per frame X 60 frames per second = 2 billion pixels processed per second
Great. I just brought IMAX theater and thought about replaying some good games. Not this two ofc.
And here I still happy playing games @720p/60fps max setting…

the Titan RTX is pretty much just the 2080 ti with 24 gigs of ram. ie, nothing special for gaming. posting these videos are pointless
There’s the extra VRAM if that is really needed by anyone for gaming and the Titan RTX has 6% more CUDA cores, 6% more RT cores and 6% more Tensor cores. From what little I’ve seen of benches the Titan is around 5% to 9% faster than the 2080 Ti and cost over twice as much.
Titan RTX is a very foolish choice for gaming.
