For our game benchmarks, we tested 10 games at max/ultra image quality, at both 1440p and 4K resolution. Ray tracing, DLSS and FSR are disabled for these tests.
Starting with Cyberpunk 2077, you will likely want to stick to 1440p resolution here, where we got an average of 87FPS. The Ultra R77 Pro only hit 39FPS at 4K – it'd be much more playable with FSR enabled – but for native resolution that's not the smoothest result.
F1 23 is much less demanding however and we even averaged over 120FPS at 4K, so you can get a great racing experience regardless of resolution using the Ultra High settings.
The same goes for Forza Horizon 5 – we're talking 140FPS at 1440p or 100FPS at 4K, so take your pick – both will play very nicely indeed!
God of War is a bit more demanding at 4K but we still average over 70FPS, and dropping to 1440p increases this to almost 110FPS, so more than enough for an enjoyable experience.
Hogwarts Legacy, however, definitely plays best at 1440p, though this game doesn't have the smoothest 1% lows. At 4K it will drop down to 53FPS on average, but with 1% lows at 40FPS.
The Last of Us Part 1 is another heavy title, though 83FPS at 1440p is not bad at all. You'll likely want to enable FSR at 4K however, as without it we were looking at 45FPS on average.
Next up is Spider-Man Remastered, where web-slinging was very smooth at 1440p with almost 120FPS on average. 68FPS at 4K isn't bad either, though in this game I always like to hit 100FPS if I can for super-smooth swinging.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is probably the most demanding title we test but it looks fantastic, and 71FPS on average at 1440p is a decent result. It's not a particularly fast-paced title so even 40FPS at 4K is just about OK, but enabling FSR would help further.
As for Ratchet and Clank, it's a similar story to plenty of other games, with 101FPS at 1440p and then 59FPS at 4K. The latter is still a decent result but everything feels more fluid at 1440p.
Lastly we come to Starfield, which as we know is a very punishing title. Well-optimised or not, at 1440p we're not even hitting 60FPS, and at 4K we drop below 40FPS, so you'll probably want to tweak the image quality settings for this one.
Overall performance is very strong, with most games delivering over 100FPS at 1440p. As we've seen, 4K is not out of the question, but it's more playable in some games than others – but even then, an average of 64FPS is not bad at all.
