Gaming at 4K might be out of reach for some, but if you want the ultimate visual experience, there's nothing quite like it. The best graphics cards of today are more and more capable of providing comfortable frame rates at that heady resolution, and there are a few different options you can pick from if you want the prettiest and most demanding gaming experience in 2022.
In our review, we found that the 4090 averaged a frame rate of 108 frames per second across several games tested at 4K and maximum or nearly maximum graphics settings. By contrast, the last-generation RTX 3090 only achieved 57 fps and the 3090 Ti 64 fps. In select games, you can enable DLSS to get even higher frame rates without sacrificing any visual details. The RTX 4090 also has support for DLSS 3, and it is arguably the first GPU to make ray tracing at 4K truly possible.
In heavier games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the 3080 10GB just barely surpasses 60 fps in 4K with max settings, which is a fine frame rate but not amazing. Just like with the 3090, however, you can enable DLSS for better performance in certain games, and turning down graphics settings is also an option. In older or less-demanding games, you can definitely expect better frame rates; in Battlefield V, the 3080 10GB hit 103 fps, which is really good.
In our RX 6950 XT review, we found that the 6900 XT was actually a bit faster on average than the RTX 3090, at 78 fps versus the 3090's 75 fps across five games. Although AMD GPU's can't use DLSS, AMD does have its own upscaling technology called FSR. Although FSR 1.0 doesn't look great, the newer 2.0 version is much better, and FSR 3 is coming in 2023.
In a recent review, Techspot found that the 6800 XT achieved 70 fps on average across 12 games at 4K and max quality settings, while the 3080 10GB achieved 72 fps, an excellent result for the 6800 XT. That's not 144 fps, which means in many games you will have to turn down some graphics settings to hit 144 fps. But you would have to do that even if you had a 3090 Ti or a 6950 XT, so the 6800 XT isn't alone in this regard.
