OK, I'm now a little more confused than I was when I started.
I have two 4K screens (Samsung U28E590D) that I want to use in day to day work. Maybe some streaming, but the most intensive game I would play is Cities: Skylines Any suggestions on what is the minimum GPU that will reasonably drive them? I've backordered a GTX 1660 at $315. Would a 1650 Super be enough?
Well I wouldn't think Cities: Skylines takes that much GPU power, although I don't know how much detail it supports. Of course if you spread it across 3 screens at 4K that starts to be a lot of pixels to render, even without a lot of details. I found one page claiming a 1060 could run Cities: Skylines at Ultra settings on one 4K screen at about 53fps. A 1660 should be a bit faster than that. Not sure by how much. Of course if you were to run the game at 4K on 3 screens, that would probably hurt the frame rate a lot. Of course one could always drop to 3x1080p while running the game and get good framerate, while running the desktop and such at 4K. Or you could play one 1 screen for the game. No idea how that game is at multi monitor support. -- Len Sorensen
