i doubt it though
The hell is all of this 3440x1440s for $1500-2000? :confused:
60 Hz is disappointing though in 2023
Cmon, what are the market analists doing!?
But that's just me and my tin foil hat speaking...
I actually much rather prefer them come in at a resolution the mainstream can achieve.
1. No 4090 needed, the 3070ti already did average 80fps in the tpu review, and that's at ultra settings (settings that make no sense). Most competitive games are also easy to run at 100+ fps.
2. Some of us like to play older games that are much easier to run
3. Upscalling tech helps bridge the gap a lot. Heck even a 2070 was able to do 4k with a "console like" 30 to 60 fps in a lot of stuff, with upscalling and some smart settings that can easily into more "real gamer" 100fps territory
4. Some of us do more than gaming and want the increased ppi for work and would also appreciate the desktop fluidity
