GeForce RTX 5090 loses around half its Cyberpunk 2077 performance going from 4K to 6K
The GeForce RTX 5090, currently NVIDIA's fastest gaming GPU, struggles with the jump to 6K resolution. New testing on Samsung's Odyssey G8 G80HS reveals that performance drops by roughly half when moving from 4K to 6K in demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077.
The disparity stems from the sheer pixel count: the 32-inch Samsung monitor offers a native resolution of 6144×3456, totaling 21.2 million pixels compared to 8.3 million at 4K—a 2.6x increase in workload. Even with Ray Tracing Overdrive and DLSS Performance presets enabled, the RTX 5090 dips below 60 FPS in this demanding configuration.
This data highlights a practical limitation for high-end enthusiasts chasing ultra-high resolutions. While the card handles 4K gaming comfortably, native 6K output requires significantly lower graphical settings to maintain playable frame rates, suggesting that current hardware is not yet fully optimized for such massive displays without heavy reliance on upscaling technologies.
