Hey guys, I've been experimenting with rendering at high resolutions on my mid-range GPU (RTX 3060) and I'm curious to know if anyone else is pushing the limits. I've managed to get a decent 30 FPS at 8K with some tweaking, but I'm struggling to get stable performance with ray tracing enabled - anyone have any tips or workarounds?

Whoa, this is a topic I've been following for a while now. The advancements in GPU tech have gotten crazy, it's amazing how far mid-range GPUs have come in terms of rendering 8K and RTX. Still gotta say, gotta save up for that next-gen GPU upgrade

Yooo, just watched the vid and I gotta say, the GPU upgrades they used are no joke. Ray tracing on mid-range GPUs sounds like a pipe dream, but I'm intrigued - who's actually tried this? Got any success stories or failures to share?

Dude, I don't think you can realistically get 8K ray tracing on a mid-range GPU. The specs you mentioned are close, but I've seen some pretty demanding systems struggle to run high frame rates at 4K with ray tracing. Still curious to see the results, though!

Hey guys, just chimed in to see how the mid-range GPU scene is doing for 8K & ray tracing. Been following this thread and it's insane how far we've come, but still think we're a few gens away from smooth 8K on a mid-range rig. Has anyone tried DLSS yet?

While I think the advancements in mid-range GPUs are promising, I'm still not convinced 8K and ray tracing will be a seamless experience at 60fps anytime soon, especially with the high system requirements those features demand. I'd love to see some real-world benchmarks from users who've upgraded to the latest mid-range options to see how well they're performing.

I've seen some decent performance out of my mid-range GPU when running lower resolution settings at 8K with ray tracing. Lowering the quality settings or disabling anti-aliasing seems to help maintain a smooth frame rate, but I'd love to see more advancements in GPU tech that can make high-end features playable on more affordable hardware. Has anyone tried using DLSS to help boost performance?
