Nvidia’s RTX 4090 is an impressive GPU and one of the best graphics cards out there. Hit triple-digit frame rates in 4K without breaking a sweat.but youtuber golden reviewer I took things to another level by playing genshin impact At 13K resolution. Unbelievably, the game was able to play 30 frames per second at this incredible high resolution.
If you are not familiar with the game, genshin impact is a popular open-world action RPG with over 60 million monthly active players. You may have heard of this title as a mobile game that is difficult to run on most smartphones, but it is also available for PC, PlayStation 5 and PS4 (in addition to Android and iOS).
Games are required to run on mobile devices, so despite their reputation in the mobile space, they are not in high demand on PC. Minimum requirement is Nvidia GT 1030, recommended GPU is GTX 1060.
In this video you can see Golden Reviewer running the game with the best graphics preset in the game. The resolution is 13760 x 5760, which translates to 178.32 megapixels (or 13K) per frame. For reference, this resolution is almost 1.4 times higher than 8K and 8.5 times higher than 4K.
With an RTX 4090, you can play amazing games at this challenging resolution with an average frame rate of 30 fps. Not quite a locked 30, but considering the resolution it’s still impressive. For reference, this is the image upscaled to 13K. This is because there are currently no 13K monitors on the market as we know them.
At 13K, the aliasing is effectively removed from the image and all edges look very realistic. Even zoomed-in images of the game session show no pixelation anywhere.
This is one of the big advantages of running upscaled resolutions, especially at ridiculously high resolutions like 13K. Image detail is crisp and sharp, without the jagged edges seen in native or sub-native resolutions without anti-aliasing techniques. In fact, on 13K you probably won’t notice any jagged edges even with AA completely disabled.
But it’s easy to see that this game wasn’t designed to run at resolutions close to 13K. The texture resolution isn’t even close to his 13K, which makes it blurry all around. Additionally, the overall lighting presentation is subpar compared to what we find in modern AAA titles designed to run on PCs. This is not surprising if .
Still, seeing games playable at 13K is amazing and a testament to the insane capabilities of Nvidia’s RTX 4090.
If you have an RTX 4090 and want to upscale yourself, many games have upscaling built in and you don’t need to go all the way to 13K to get super crisp graphics. A resolution greater than twice the native resolution is sufficient. However, if you want to reduce the performance impact of upscaling, you can use Nvidia’s DSR feature in the Nvidia Control Panel for AI enhancements that reduce the performance impact when running games at higher than native resolutions. Upscaling is available.
