NVIDIA has shared the first 8K gaming benchmarks for its upcoming GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. NVIDIA claims that this GPU will be able to hit more than 60fps in a variety of games in 8K when using DLSS 3.
Going into more details, NVIDIA states that the RTX 4090 can run Fortnite Ray Tracing with an average of 82fps in 8K with DLSS 3. As we’ve reported, Forza Horizon 5 will most likely support DLSS, and can run with 94fps.
As NVIDIA specifically states, DLSS Resolution was set to its highest performance mode and DLSS Frame Generator was used when applicable.
What’s also crazy here is the performance boost in Microsoft Flight Simulator. In 8K with DLSS 3, the NVIDIA RTX 4090 can run this game with 83fps. Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 can run with 85fps.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 can also run some games in native 8K with more than 60fps. For instance, NVIDIA claims that this GPU can run smoothly Apex Legends, Lost Ark and Hunt: Showdown in native 8K. According to the graphs, War Thunder can also run with 100fps in native 8K.
NVIDIA will release the RTX 4090 on October 12th. For those wondering, we’ve prepared 30 games so that we can benchmark this new GPU. We’ll have both rasterized and Ray Tracing benchmarks, and we’ll compare it against the RTX 2080Ti and the RTX 3080.
Stay tuned for more!

I have 4k monitor there is literally no point in going 8k LMFAO clown world
as people said 6-7 years ago about 4k
*it’s nothign new
You just run into diminishing returns.
Each step higher in resolution is less important than the last. And at some point you can’t distinguish the difference anymore.
The benefits to increasing resolution are not linear. Not only do they diminish with each step, but they diminish more and more each step.
-SD to 1080p is very noticeable
-1080p to 4k is much less noticeable
-4k to 8k is simply not noticeable
Just like printing paper. The difference between a 300 DPI and 600 DPI print is noticeable. But for a 1200 DPI print you need a magnifying glass to notice the difference.
don’t worry i wear glasses .

if it like that then the next GPU generations will sell that much cuz 3xxx 4xxx are more than enough
Indeed. At some point the resolution upgrade will make no difference since standard TV sizes aren’t going to become much larger, our living rooms or computer desks aren’t getting bigger, we’re not physically getting larger, our eyes aren’t rapidly evolving to perceive way more detail, and so on.
As for what that max resolution is where going beyond will be useless, that largely depends on the display size, distance from the display and on the person using the display. If I had to venture a guess, I’d say 8K is probably the max for both TV and desktop monitor users, maybe 10K if you sit closer to your display.
This is what people with 1080p monitors say, it’s all in how big the screen is. On a 32inch monitor the difference between 1080p and 4k is substantial, and at 70inch the difference between 4k and 8k is also substantial. That said no one is buying a 8k screen to game on, you are much better off with a 4k with 144hz for the foreseeable future I think.
1080p and 1440p gaming is all about budget gaming, it’s basically a cost issue
Yes but monitors can only be so big. 8k makes sense for monitors larger than 32″. Like a 42″ or 50″ display. It can also make sense for an ultrawide but then technically its not really 8k then. The width might be there but its not the same height.
The normal definition of 8k is for 16×9 displays. For those a normal 24″ 27″ or 32″ is almost completely pointless. 4k is already pretty darn fine on those size of displays. One could argue 6k looks better at 32″ and that is true but 8k way exceeds that. I wish more manufacturers would focus on optimal DPI and not just sticking to the norm 16×9 panels. 4k should not be a one size fits all for 21″, 24″, 27″ and 32. 32″ is best at 6k, 27″ best at 5k and 24″ best at 4k.
And 8K would look even better down-sampled to 4K on your “4k monitor”. So ya, there is still a benefit if the GPU is powerful enough to make it happen. Think.
Except that the sharpness is unbelievable and the aliasing is eliminated completely and the framerate is the same as regular 4k because you are using tensor cores for the upscaling and you even get more frames with dlss 3.0 and you are completely wrong in every way.
Did you test DLSS2 on an 8K display on Performance preset (4K base rez) to confirm that?
Or are you just imagining things?
Aliasing is eliminated completely? LOL that is a bunch of BS and the same claim people made about 4K eliminating all the aliasing years ago. I’ve noticed that the games with the worst crawling and worst aliasing sometimes don’t look significantly better no matter how high you go on the resolution.
It won’t be eliminated but it will be reduced. However, increasing the raw resolution without downsampling seems like a very stupid way to get rid of aliasing. You can just render at 4K and downsample to 1440p on most high end GPU’s and get fantastic quality. I use DLDSR to do this all the time on my 2070.
I have a 3440×1440 Ulttawide Monitor, there is literally no point in going 4K LMFAO clown world.
You’d need 6880×2880 for that perfect twice scaling per axis. Of course that’s above 4K for you.
Right?? Mine is a 34 inch, and for it to be comfortable to look at, I sit far enough away that only the most egregious pixel crawl is noticeable.
I will admit that when I bought it, I thought my GTX1080 could handle it….nosir. Bought a 3080 for a not-great/not-bad price in september 2021, and I’ve found nothing it can’t take on natively (I’ve not even tried DLSS). While I’m interested to see what the 4000s are capable of, I’ll be sitting this generation out.
Honestly, the place that needs higher resolution screens is VR, not desktop monitors. VR screens are RIGHT in front of your eyes and expanded to take up as much of your peripheral vision as they can manage. But there, the trick is physically MAKING screens that high resolution at that insanely tiny size.
Downsampling is always useful.
It’s just a benchmark to show off the power of the GPU’s.
If the performance is good, it’s only gonna be better at practical resolutions.
ok, so how would you advertise your VGA brand, if you had one? what would you advertise it with? for a user base that demands constant progress and innovation? I’m awfully curious
i have a 32″ 4k and i see no point going more for 32″
but for bigger monitor like 55″ and more … 8k wouldn’t be bad
Don’t think you’ve seen 8k in action then. Very noticeable differences on bigger screens. We’re not there yet but rest assured that we will in a gen or two, and you’ll be first in line to buy one.
LMFAO 8k on a monitor ? BRUHHH no, not to mention tv 8k cost so much I wont even bother since no one supports sh*t
8k wow
my next build
8k yes yes good. very good. internal rendering of 1080p. 800w average power draw from the entire system.
who cares about power draw, are you some kind of eco cultist freak? just buy solar panels lol
come back when you’ll pay your own bills kid
If someone is worried about power bills from gaming then maybe they can’t afford a 4080/90 then. I personally wouldn’t care if it ran 1000w for the 2-3 hours or so a day I game it’s not like it makes that much of a dent. Plus, don’t have to turn the heater on in winter lol, bonus!
Power is about 18c per KW/h here and even if you live somewhere double that it’s still not going to be that much more to your power bill.
yeah, its double, and another 30% next month.
if I remember Apex in 8k with the rtx 3090 they did 55-70 fps.
highest performance mode? so an 8th of the resolution?
8K Ultra Performance means 1080p, yes.
25% rez scale on both axis.
1080p base rez + interpolation.
What an achievement, lmao.
83 fps in HUNT:Showdown with DLSS off at 8K is pretty damn impressive.
83 fps in HUNT:Showdown with DLSS off at 8K is pretty damn impressive.
I used to be more enthusiastic about gaming graphics from the Crysis/xbox/ps3 era. But nowadays i don’t see much of a point tbh.
i still play in 1080p what did i miss ?
Most of the last decade…
And wasting $5k+ on the acquiring the latest and greatest, now obsolete gear.
If only that was all you needed to spend, but then that’s why we have jobs to fund our chosen lifestyle.
So effectively they get 85 fps on rdr2 with a rendering resolution of 1080p? Huh!? It doesn’t sound very promising
8K gaming is an excellent experience.
8k in a desktop monitor? so I need super human eyes to notice any difference from 4k? reasons for selling new hardware are starting to be a joke, can’t wait for 1000k with a 10000000×10000000 resolution with 100000 fps.
Bullshit, all the way.
That’s strange, I don’t see a practical reason in buying/using 8K TV/monitor.
Nowadays 4K/120fps is a new standard, or you buy widescreen monitor it will be 1600px height, little bit less than 4K with regular aspect ratio.
So waiting for 4090 tests on the monitors above, not 8K.
Btw, I bought my 65″ Samsung QLED about 5 years ago for 2.5K$, checked recently new TVs, 85″ costs 2K. Watching from 3 meters, I don’t see pixels, no need for 8K even in 85″.
Most of the content anyway filmed in 2K/4K. As for gaming I would prefer real picture without DLSS in 4K, rather than 1080 rendered with DLSS in 8K.
To all the people saying “this is dumb because 8K is unnecessary”, this isn’t Nvidia saying “go buy an 8k screen”. This is just them saying this is what it can do for 8k, imagine what it could do for you at your resolution of choice, and not just for games that are available now, but games that may be coming in the next 2-3 years.
They did it in the 3090 too: they’re trying to make 8K gaming a thing, lol!
