I'm gonna say something controversial
you don't need anything higher than 1080p and 60fps
idc about 4k resolution with 240fps, most people can't afford that and optimizing for that while the rest is an afterthought is dumb

The reason why western gaming companies are more focused on 4K is because of the CEO wanting money from people who care about graphics over gameplay.
They're absolute overkill. I had to scale everything up to read text.
However 1080p does feel blurry now. Going 1440p for my next monitor. I think it might be the sweet spot.
Except you probably wouldn't agree with that unless you were into retro gaming(specifically 5th gen consoles)
All depends on what you enjoy, your standards for that, and what you play on
I have a 32 inch monitor and was torn between 1440/144 or 4k/60, and went 1440, cause 4k wouldnt be noticeable.
If you optimize for 4k 240fps, then 1080p is running like heaven. Literally what do you mean?
That's controversial to say because it's factually incorrect for competitive games. Otherwise, it's a matter of preference.
But personally, I do have a heavy preference for 120-140fps and will do what I can to get there.
If something is locked to 30, I won't play it. It's too jarring *for me*.
If it's locked to 60, I use Lossless Scaling framegen to double the framerate. It's the about the same input latency as 60 fps (minimally worse), but it's fluid.
I'm just really bothered by noticing the transition between frames. Fluidity is important to me. Input latency is satisfactory for me at 60 for non-comp stuff.
My monitor is higher RR, it does look great on games that run fast (RoR 2 my beloved) but yeah, 60 is totally fine 99% of the time
8 year old (then top-notch, and since heavily modified) GPU, on the other hand...
When you're playing a game, the individual frames don't matter. What matters is the feel. And you can definitely feel the difference between 60 FPS and 120 FPS.
like i posted this last night because i saw people being disappointed that switch 2 will "only be at 1080p in handheld" when it's absolutely playable
Chivalry 2 is what I'm playing now. If you don't have them framezzz you gonna be at a disadvantage because reaction windows are small and you need info from frames to make your move
This is what I mean by annoying nerds. You can like whatever; I can like whatever. I'm not physically defective for not caring about this stuff, come on.
Night and day difference. Especially in a fast paced game.
As for Frames, as long as its constant, it shouldn’t be issue.
I will say you’ll be surprised at how well priced some gaming monitors have gotten, I’ve seen some 144fps+ run for about $120 at 1440p and cheaper at 1080p
Plenty of games could easily hit 60fps at 1440p but lock you into either 4k 30 or 1080p 60.
I'm worried what will happen when I get a 1440p monitor
Have I just put 50 hours into a game with 90s graphics and adored it? Hell yeah.
(Game is Abiotic Factor)
I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
1080p 60fps is fine for handheld gaming, but for anything else the experience is dramatically improved when you hit even 120fps, 1440p or 4k. A good monitor or TV to match will completely change your experience with the medium.
higher is better sure, but cmon you don't need 240 fps to play the sims
but i do understand wanting tons of fps for competitive online games
there are some games that have no right dipping below 60 with the way they look
As for general PC use/work. I'm clinging to my 4K, gimme screen real estate!
But something like a competitive shooter, I personally can't stand anything less than 100 and aim for 140.
Nintendo shaves off whatever features they think are gonna let them hit their target price.
Tho disagree on 60fps. HRR displays are everywhere now, even in low-mid phones if you look hard enough.
It makes a serious difference to not only visuals, but also gamefeel since total latency is lower.
1080p and 60fps is probably the most I’ve experienced with gaming and I don’t feel I’m missing anything.
I really only see 4k being worth it for films
Probably because those don't require expensive hardware to watch in 4k beyond the player and discs
I can't tell the difference between 24, 30, 60 and 120 fps
I can absolutely tell the difference with higher definition screens, but not higher frequency ones
I prefer 4k and can afford it though. It depends how much you play.
Most media isn’t built to support those aspects either.
