Hello,

I plan to buy the Samsung C49RG90, and would like to know if Shadow support the native resolution 5120x1440@60hz ?

Thanks.

I am running Shadow with a Odyessy G9 (5120 x 1440) and can comfirm it does work, although it wants the default res to be 3840 x 1080@120Hz).

 

You enable 5120 x 1440@60Hz by enabling H.265 in the Shadow menu.

 

I do get some pulsing in the image though.

These estimated calculations might help:

The recomended bandwidth for h.264 Resolution/Refresh rate (only calculated) 2160p(4k) 144fps 160-290Mbit/s ----------Max. 70Mbit 1440p(2K) 144fps 70-145Mbit/s 2160p(4K) 60fps 65–120Mbit/s 1080p 240fps 60-120Mbit/s 1080p 144fps 35-70Mbit/s 2160p(4K) 30fps 33-60Mbit/s 1440p(2K) 60fps 30-60Mbit/s 720p 144fps 25-50Mbit/s 1440p(2K) 30fps 15-30Mbit/s 1080p 60fps 15-30Mbit/s 720p 60fps 10-20 Mbit/s 480p 144fps 10-20Mbit/s 1080p 30fps 8-15Mbit/s 480p 60fps 6-12Mbit/s 720 30fps 5-10Mbit/s 360p 144fps 5-10Mbit/s 480p 30fps 3-6 Mbit/s ----------Min. 5Mbit 360p 60fps 2-4 Mbit/s h.265 (low bandwith setting) needs only half the Mbit/s.

I get the same “pulsing” on higher resolutions as well. Have you found the cause/resolution?

Hey @Chaos_Supreme  @villo1988,

try limiting the FPS to 60 in your shadow launcher-settings and in the game you are playing. Make sure it is set to the correct solution and Hz (60) in your nvidia control panel on shadow.

Where do I sign?

Thanks @Phobos for the suggestion, although it didn’t make a difference. I think the problem is my iGPU which isn’t powerful enough to decode 4K @ 60Hz. 
 

Hey @Gelgoog - this is a very useful list - how do define “supported hardware”? Does that mean that Intel ≥6000 is capable of decoding 4K @ 60Hz?
