Imagine choosing to be poor.
It's time to upgrade to 8k

pixel density matters more than resolution

>>716256769 (OP)
if you're planning on playing recent-ish games then the obvious answer is 4K. With DLSS or FSR4 you can literally get both better image quality and better performance than anything on 1440p can give you.

>>716256769 (OP)
Imagine not having at least two monitors.
If it's a sweaty twitchfest game, I use the 144hz.
If I don't care/fidelity matters more (i.e. spotting targets at long range in Hell Let Loose) I use the 60Hz.
Other times I have media up on one and comms on the other. Going back to a single monitor feels incredibly cramped and annoying.

The real answer is 2560x1600, except nobody makes them.

remember when pc fags laughed at consoles when they couldn't reach 1080p, how the tables have turned now pc potato bros can't even do 4K

>>716258903
stale bait

>>716258031
I agree. I have a 4k phone and things look so much better than a monitor. Cheers from Brasil.

>>716256769 (OP)
Even though 4K is a waste of rendering, you can still take full advantage of it with older games. Don’t get a 1440p display just to save some money. If you have an expensive rig, why would you retard it with a shitty little 1440p IPS panel

>>716256769 (OP)
For me it's 24 inch 1080p

>>716256769 (OP)
Uh no?
This has already been figured out.

1440p monitor for games. 4K TV in the living room for movies. You're welcome.

>>716256769 (OP)
640x480 is all you need.

>>716256769 (OP)
1080p 60fps
Really 30fps or even dipping down to the low 20s is fine

>zero difference in-game
oy vey!

>>716259309
Since a typical desktop setup means sitting about 2ft away from the monitor as opposed to sitting further away on a couch, doesn't this graph indicate that 4k is fully noticeable or very close to it for just about every typical gaming PC setup? An average sized monitor is at least between 25-30 inches. At 2ft, 4k on a screen that size should be fully noticeable.

>>716258596
Holy based. Finally someone who understands.

>>716256769 (OP)
I think 1080p would scale nicer to 4k no? 4k probably

>>716256769 (OP)
1080p, everything higher than that is just a meme

>>716260473
Indeed you are correct
It always has to do with viewing distance relative to screen size, even when sitting there close.

>>716260384
>picture is 724x607
Oy vey! Don't go spending the money on the GPU! Save your shekels and take them with you when you die. All this talk of spending makes me shpilkes!

I propose proper 8k with round numbers
>8000x4500 for 16:9
>8000x5000 for 16:10
>8000x6000 for 4:3
And 36:9 ultrawide should be 20000x5000
Fucking get rid of those weird ass numbers already damnit
>>716258031
Based densitychad
Also fuck any anti aliasing that isn't supersampling

>>716262847
>8000x4500 for 16:9
>Also fuck any anti aliasing that isn't supersampling
good luck with your GPU just exploding into pieces instantly whenever you try to render your 8000x4500 with supersampling

>>716263089
You misunderstand.
I have an 1080p screen and I supersample to 8k just fine.
If I ever decide to get an 8k screen with good density I won't need any aa tech because jaggies would be impossible to see

>>716263429
8k screens should be no bigger than 6" for optimal pixel density. The more dense the pixels, the more detail you can see. I'm trans btw.

>>716256769 (OP)
Anyone that demands ahigh resolution does not deserve to kive.

Last night I tried out Hellblade 2 and between 4k and 2k with balanced DLSS I couldn't notice that much of a difference.
and it's a game that you notice right away when the visuals are downgraded.

>>716263659

There's some pedophile on this board that genuinely believes that.

Ok but we're talking about desktop screens itt

Using a 4070ti on my main PC. This is my monitor. I'm never gonna upgrade it. I just don't care. Just to be clear, I can easily afford to buy something better, but I'm not going to.

4k

I know I’m fucking retarded for asking this question in this way but does 4K make the game textures look better? Trying to decide if I really want to upgrade to a 4K monitor for my Switch 2.

>>716265114
You can see how blurry they are, in perfect clarity.

thanks to dlss / fsr4, going 4k is the obvious choice. dlss quality renders the same number of "real" pixels as native 1440p and performs the same, but looks much better.

>>716265215
>but looks much better

>still using a single 1080p monitor (144hz) in 2025
there a number of times i wish i had one extra monitor but i don't think i have the desk space for it

>>716265365
yes, 1440p upscaled to 4k with the latest in house ai trickery from nvidia/amd looks better than plain 1440p. anyone claiming otherwise is just an angry coper who is too emotional about graphics technology for some reason that eludes me.

>>716265537
lol

Not him but yes, modern upscalers with 4k output look better than 1440p native while running better overall. Even jewtubers are starting to notice and show it to their audience, who are screeching in agony because they hate that it's true.

>>716265761
Your image is about a frame generation artifact. Not sure how it's relevant to the topic here.

>>716265761
>>716265684
i accept your concession.

>>716265537
*game has no DLSS*

I play in 1080p and I don't care.

>>716265918
If NVIDIA wants to be cunts and dump every technology under one label to muddy the waters and create confusion, I'm going to as well. Either way, real-time AI upscaling is dogshit.

>>716256769 (OP)
I run my PC to my 4K tv for comfy couch gaming but mainly play in 1440p since I only have a 4070ti Super.

>>716266454
>Either way, real-time AI upscaling is dogshit.
How do you render your games then? Let us know please.
>>716266527
>but mainly play in 1440p since I only have a 4070ti Super.
So play at 4K DLSS Performance lol.

>>716266606
Native 1440p looks better than 1440p upscaled to "4K". DLSS looks like someone smeared vaseline on your screen.

>>716266606
>So play at 4K DLSS Performance lol.
I tried it and it looks like ass I'm content with 1440p and 100+ fps

>>716256769 (OP)
4k what is there to debate, 2k is better nowadays only because every fucking game is so unoptimized it can barely run at 30fps in 4k

>turn on DLSS
>free performance boost
>game looks just as good
>also gets rid of jaggies
I fucking love DLSS it's like magic. Boomers fear technology.

>>716266830
>Native 1440p looks better than 1440p upscaled to "4K". DLSS looks like someone smeared vaseline on your screen.
This does not stand up to reality or any serious measurements.
>>716267021
>I tried it and it looks like ass I'm content with 1440p and 100+ fps
What you are playing with looks worse and runs worse.

I understand that you are innately opposed to the idea of DLSS or upscaling so you refuse to even consider the notion of output resolution being far more relevant than input resolution. But DLSS Performance mode at 4k (so 1080p to 4K with DLSS) both L O O K S and R U N S better than native 1440p, be it with DLAA or TAA or no AA. Even FSR4 achieves the same effect.
This has been verified by countless people with 4k screens, tech outlets, random fags online, and anyone who knows how this stuff works. There are countless webms and png comparisons in the archive and on youtube or techpowerup for you to explore. Instead of embarrassing yourself you should spend 5 minutes online researching this stuff.

>>716256769 (OP)
I kind of regret going for 1440. I should have just stayed at 1080 because the performance loss doesn't feel worth it lately

>>716260037
This but 720p

>>716256769 (OP)
I upgraded like 10 years ago and 4k is way, way sharper.
