With the announcement of Nvidia’s new RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 graphics cards, the reality of gaming with huge 8K resolutions got more realistic, and now Death Stranding on PC is getting a dedicated 8K preset in time for the new GPUs. .
Death Stranding has already impressed us with its 8K performance, and it looks like a new update will be even better by adding DLSS 2.1, which offers support for 8K upscaling. In the graphics section of the game, the update introduces a ‘DLSS 8K performance mode’.
As the patch notes explain, “This update made the game able to recognize 8K resolution, previously it was limited to 4K. It also adds the Ultra Performance DLSS preset created specifically for 8K, not visible in-game because it requires an NVIDIA driver update. “
Not just for Ampere
While this new configuration will allow people with RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 Ampere GPUs to play at 8K, Turing GPUs, Nvidia’s next-gen graphics cards like the RTX 2080 Ti, could also make use of it.
In fact, the GPU we used to test Death Stranding in 8K was the Turing-based RTX Titan, a beast of a card that costs $ 2,499 (about £ 2,000, AU $ 3,600). If this new patch also improves the performance of that GPU, we will be very happy.
Also, if this new patch, along with DLSS 2.1, allows the RTX 3090 to perform as well as, or better than, the RTX Titan at 8K, then that is very exciting too.
While at $ 1,499 / £ 1,399 (about AU $ 2,030), the RTX 3090 will be a very expensive card, it will be cheaper than the RTX Titan. So it could mean that 8K games have become (a bit) more affordable.
