Phantasy Star Online 2 in 4K

[PandoraFX]

As the future of 4K gaming because more affordable due to new monitors being cheap and parts decreasing in price, is anyone willing to run PSO2 at 4K graphics?, Reasons?, what are your specs that you have or planning on to run it 4K?

I'm attempting to make a Mid-High PC build for a cheap 4K monitor i'm planning on purchasing soon; but seeing some benchmarks of how many frames you get running at 4K it is a big drop compared to running a game at 1980 x 1080, it also uses a bunch of Ram MB.


E.g on how much RAM usage and FPS is lost.

Spoiler!

Seems like I may need to invest some more money if i planning to play PSO2 4K + SweetFX + HQ AO.

Video is kind of blurry

will a FX8350 + OC'd Geforce 770 GTX handle it?

Frame rate is more important than resolution to me. If it was possible to run the game at 4k but also keep a steady 120 FPS, I might consider it. But before that, I'd rather run the game at 1080p at 120 FPS.

I hear a lot of news stories about modern console games having to reduce the frame rate to 30 fps in order to run at 720p or 1080p. Seems like the priorities are reversed to me.

Yeah, 4K is more than twice the pixels of 1080p, so you're going to see a huge performance hit. I don't think most modern single GPU's would be able to handle 4k at maximum settings, maybe something crazy like a 680 overclocked or a GTX titan could do it.

I highly doubt I'll be upgrading to 4k anytime soon, we're still waiting for 1440p monitors to really hit the mainstream. There's some cheaper 4k monitors around but... you really do get what you pay for. I'd rather have 1080p with 120hz refresh rate and vivid colors than a cheap 4k panel that looks like crap.

Y̶o̶u̶'̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶4̶0̶-̶5̶0̶ ̶F̶P̶S̶ ̶r̶a̶n̶g̶e̶.̶ If you get about 160+ FPS average In the benchmark you'll reach at a decent area. Screen resolution on PSO2 seems to be less demanding compared to other PC games.

EDIT: Forget it, you need a stronger CPU and a GPU that has bit more strength.

If you have High Quality AO's though; then you might be have a bit of trouble trying to run the game at 4K

We need someone with a 4K monitor and a outstanding PC to test this.

No, I'm not sure if you can even handle 1440P

But the best way to tell is to just try it.
downsample your resolution to the resolution you want, run the game and see how it goes.

But I'm already running at 4k resolution.

Get with the times, son!

8k or gtfo

Gimme your specs. How much frame do you get at 4K? Do you have AO running? So many questions.
