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!
