Flagship that is almost 10 years old which considered to be quite old in current technology.
Now granted it was the best specs you could buy during that time but average warthunder player should be able to run wt on higher than ULQ in this case which many dont do it on purpose in order to benefit from ULQ advantages.
Those who can’t afford the higher specs are more than welcome to play on ULQ tho.
Personaly what killed me most as a ULQ user is shitty fps in saturated environment (around 15), but i think this is panly due to me running the game on an quadro 1000m.
Keep in mind that 1080ti can keep its own against something like RTX 4060 in plenty of titles, which is a GPU released 6 years later and is still really popular among gamers today.
It can even hold itself against non OC 5060-70 iirc.
1080TI was so ahead of its time, the time when NVIDIA wasn’t so greedy and didn’t depend on AI that much.
Average fps should be 60 in order to play this game smoothly and I believe even a basic setup from 2017 should be able to handle it without too much issue unless you’re forcing 2/4k.
Now, I find this thread interesting because earlier today I increased my graphic setting from ULQ to meduim FOR a competitive advantage, has I struggled a lot to spot tanks
And I will say it is night and day, ulq have an inherent disadvantages, and every GOOD player ive talked too about this said the same thing, ulq is bad and people are miss-lead when they think it’s overpowered
Not really, in terms of pure power 1080Ti still holds the advantage against those cards until Ai tech gets into the competition such as DLSS and frame gen and even then 1080Ti can use those features thanks to AMD.
For example I can easily play Marvel Spiderman’s 2 on ultra settings with mods on 60+ FPS constantly because of AMD DLSS and Frame Gen.
RTX 5050 is still better than 1080ti in pure rasterization, but not by that much though.
You’d need to define what struggling is first.
They weren’t basic back then, true.
Nowadays high refresh rate monitors are pretty much the best bang for the buck when it comes to improving your gameplay experience, especially if you’re into games that aren’t taxing to your system.
The only competition when it comes to that are Ryzen CPUs.
