Max Payne 3 was released in 2012 for old-gen platforms and since I’ve recently replayed it, I still consider it a great looking game on the PC. Yes, the skin shaders and overall lighting are not up to what you’d expect from a triple-A current-gen title, however it still remains beautiful. And below you can find a video showing this game running in 8K resolution with more than 100fps on Very High settings.
However, there is a catch. In order to achieve this, YouTube’s ‘Thirty IR’ has used two NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti graphics cards in SLI (via NVLink). SLI scaling appears to be great in this game and for the most part, the game was running with more than 100fps (though there were some drops at 80fps in various scenes).
Still, it’s pretty amazing witnessing older games running in such ridiculously high resolutions. Of course you’ll need two RTX2080Ti (that will cost you around $3000) but again, I think it’s fascinating watching games running in 8K.
Enjoy!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
