Is it stupid to play games at ultra settings? Well, obviously not if your GPU can still put out the framerates you are looking for. But my RTX 2070 is starting to struggle to maintain high framerates at ultra settings in some of the more graphically demanding games like Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), Cyberpunk 2077, and even Shadow of the Tomb Raider when I'm playing at 4K or even 3440x1440 ultrawide. In this video I present you with a challenge: can you actually spot the difference between high settings and ultra settings? Because the framerate difference might be more noticeable than the image quality.
If you are curious the benchmarks were performed at 1440p on my RTX 2070, i5-9600k, and 16GB ram.
