First of all you don't have to install anything, you just need a browser. Playing these games online is easy for several reasons. At 8K though? No amount of patching will help.Hangaroo and other word games are becoming very popular online. I expect Techland to continue to patch Dying Light 2 to improve performance at 4K. There's also a hint of a lack of optimization about it, and there's already been a day one patch to address bugs. The fact that the might RTX 3090 can only just hit 60fps at 4K with DLSS on and no ray tracing highlights just how intensive this game is. Don't forget, most games don't really take advantage of 8K yet anyway, with textures and models aimed at a maximum of 4K anyway. That's still without ray tracing enabled, but it looked so much better, even with the lower resolution. By playing at 4K, I was able to get 59.8fps at 'High Quality' with DLSS on performance. The bump to 8K isn't worth the compromise in this case. The world feels a lot less alive - never a great thing, even in a zombie game. Textures are more blurry, draw distance is reduced and lighting effects are barely there. While Dying Light 2 still looks good, the drop in quality is still very noticeable. What's more of a painful compromise, however, is having to turn the graphical settings down to their lowest to get to 60fps. While DLSS means this isn't a native 8K image, the tech has come a long way, and the results are very impressive. I consider 30 frames per second to be the absolute minimum for a game to be enjoyable, so the fact that the RTX 3090, with help from DLSS, gets above that at high settings and at 8K is impressive. However, turning on Nvidia's DLSS feature on the 'Performance' setting, which favors higher frame rates at the expense of graphical settings, and upscales the image from a lower resolution to output at 8K, the game hit 36.1fps on average, with a minimum of 29.8fps. That's extremely painful, and essentially unplayable. At native 8K resolution with 'High Quality' graphical settings, the game chugged along at 18.1fps. So, it probably comes as no surprise that Dying Light 2 is extremely punishing on the RTX 3090. This means that graphically intensive games are going to really put any graphics card through its paces.
