Unigine seems to have updated their binaries thus changed hashes. JAE even linked a few price competitive options.Pts/unigine-heaven-1.6.5 Mon, 15:13:21 GMT Given you're only interested in 2K gaming, I think you already have a clear answer of there's no reason to wait. If yes, next year will see wide deployment of true UltraHD gaming monitors. Do you want UltraHD, the ability to experience HDR games, and gaming monitor features too? So the question about saving for a better monitor really comes down to if you want it all or not. What I mean by starting to catch up with TVs is, the implementation of the UltraHD feature set (4K, 10bit color, HDR10, Rec.2020 color space) Monitors are slowly starting to catch up with TVs in terms of feature set and there are games debuting with HDR built in. Is there something in the pipeline worth waiting for knowing that or should I start saving for an early christmas present? I don't really keep up with display tech though. I'm content playing at 2k and honestly don't see myself shelling out not only for a card capable of 4k, but then the associated monitor to go with it. The 1070 has DisplayPort 1.4 support, but whether the monitor does or not really depends upon the feature set of the monitor. Think 4K or higher, HDR, 10bit color, and high refresh rate like newer TVs and some monitors have. The PG279Q is a 2K, 8bit, 165Hz panel, that's right within specs for DisplayPort 1.2(a).ĭisplayPort 1.4 brings feature support for technologies the monitor doesn't have. I'd also note that Dell is basically selling that device with the OC capability, meaning that feature falls under their extensive 3 year warranty.įor the Asus PG279Q, having DisplayPort 1.2(a) doesn't really mean anything. ![]() Of course as a 4K monitor that Alienware is a bad fit for a GTX 1070. So looks like there's nothing wrong with your GPU, but at some point, you may want to consider a CPU upgrade if it starts to hold you back in games (I'd say only if you start chasing 120/144/165 Hz gaming, which, btw, is A-MA-ZING ).įorgive my ignorance, but what are the differences between 1.2a and 1.4?įor the Alienware AW3418DW monitor, having higher than DisplayPort 1.2(a) would mean not having to overclock the DisplayPort connection to achieve the maximum refresh rate. The good news is that at 1440p, the benchmark seems to be more GPU-limited. These guys on reddit are getting close to 100 fps with more modern CPUs: Sounds like your 950 CPU is the bottleneck at 1080p. Note that the default resolution for "Extreme HD" is 1920x1080 which is not my monitor's native resolution, so I also ran it at 2560x1440. Here's some benchmarks I just ran using Unigine Valley. When I am on Kaby Lake 6 months from now I will have to post back some new scores to see if it increases at all. It does seem that I am getting a bit lower FPS than the link you posted, which is indeed probably due to my CPU as you indicated. My average FPS on the "default" Extreme HD were 76.2 as I noted above and 54FPS when running at my monitor's native resolution. The other popular tool is 3D Mark (Firestrike) but that's far more demanding on your GPU and less likely to show up the effect of a CPU bottleneck. It'll spit out an FPS number which you can compare against other sites (here is just one example giving the 1070 Founder's Edition 99FPS on the default Extreme HD setting) Relatively small download and quick install - just pick the Exreme HD preset and hit run, then click the benchmark button top left. It's pretty old now but it's DX11 which is what practically every game runs right now, so it's still valid. Unigine Valley is a good simple benchmark. I still have my old card and would be more than happy to put it back in and run some benchmarks before and after if you have any suggestions of programs to use? I did not get any benchmark numbers as I wasn't entirely familiar with any programs that could provide any other than just being able to comfortably play on higher settings with smoother framerates. ![]()
