Anyone else trying C6 on a 4k monitor?

[CBE Player]

Just bought a ASUS 4k monitor with G-Sync, and was wondering if anyone has had this game running on one yet?

Here's the one I have being delivered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AWGY9MG/ref=ya_st_dp_summary

The monitor is for other gaming and video watching so C6 might be on the low end of things.

I'm curious if and how well the scaling options work at various resolutions. Please report your experience when you get it up and running.

Looks like a sweet monitor. I have the 2560x1440 version.

But I would be scared as hell to buy a 27" at that resolution. Everything is going to be tiny.

That's the thingy I was wanting to know about, but since c6 is not one of my most played games I was not to worried about the sizing so much. Most games that will be working with 4k are not even out yet. ME4 will be one that I hope will work well with it since it is coming out with 4k support in march.

I believe companies will have to make a choice on sizing before they incorporate 4k into their games en-mass. I am just getting ahead of the curve with this monitor. So I might be setup for the future of gaming which will eventually play catch up.
Hopefully!

and yes when things get rolling this next week I will report back here on this thread what is happening.

You have tried I take it,...so cool that is just one more game moved to the "A" list for me.
Thanks!

It does scale nicely for 3840x2160. Two tweaks you can further drive:

1. In the settings, you can click "UI Upscaling" in the Options/Graphics menu. This will default scale the UI only back to FHD but will leave the gameplay at UHD.

2. In the AppOptions file, there is a setting called UIUpscale. You can keep at 1 (which gets the UI to FHD), or you can use .5 (which is what I use) which does a 50% UI upscale. I find this a little more pleasing, esp. if you use Chao's Quick UI mod -- on my 17" laptop, it is very eye pleasing, and on a 27" monitor, it is very nice. I've even set that value at .3 on my 27" monitor and it was great.

@ggalindo001 I will try these when it arrives next week. Thanks!

So I have had this up and running(after buying a cable separately) for aprox. 1 week. All is fine after a little snafu stuff with cable(BUYER BEWARE! chekc to see which cable hooks are on you system before buying then get another cable you need) and getting the Resolution from 1080p-2160 between my laptop and monitor(laptop only goes to 1080p, monitor 4k) all is working fine.

Now I did have to run each game the way they were setup originally at 1080, and make changes to 4k resolution, and since the laptop does not have 4k screen it does not show anything that is, ie. games and proggys that are set to 4k will run only on the monitor and they do not show up on the laptop while running.

I also had to adjust which monitor was my "Main" one on windows 10(the screen for this only showed up on the laptop until I did this).
Now that all the "stuff" is done I love the fine details in video that my eyesight can see, and the games look pretty amazing.
One other thing noticed there, is that the 4k res will make the RPG games run fine with some lower settings. (like Fallout 4 had to have the details for one thing reduced to high instead of ultra setting, but that is just my GTX 980 better systems will be fine). other than this no problems in that department.

With Civ 6 settings setup I have used the above info from @ggalindo001 to make the UI look really great! Thanks for that!!!
I even had Civ 5 and civ 4 setup on higher resolutions and also BERT for those thinking about them as well. Graphics are perfect and no reduction in settings (expected) (like F4 mentioned above)

Overall I think this monitor is the best investment I have made in monitors for many a year, and I will not have to buy another one for many more since gaming is not really catching up with 4k much until this coming year and beyond.

Congrats!

You are certainly on the top end of things now.

Thanks! yeah I am looking forward to all the "Newness" of 4k gaming.

So, are you running Civ 6 on the highest settings, on your GTX 980 equipped laptop?

Does the G-Sync have any effect on Civ 6?

I can comment that G-sync works great. Although it's one of those things that you don't notice as long as it's working. No tearing for sure and that's the primary purpose.

I am currently running C6 on full on settings without issues, and the G-Sync does have an effect as I had a monitor without G-Sync before the upgrade.

I've been playing at 4K since it came out... on two different 4K displays.

It scales very nicely and I haven't had any graphics glitching.

Do you also have G-Sync? Any problems with it if you do?

No G-Sync on mine.
