Going from 1080p to 1440p ....

The advantage of 1440P is you can get a larger monitor. 1080P does not look very good on a 27 inch or larger because the pixel density is too low.

If you have a 24 inch or smaller monitor then 1080P is fine because the monitor is small enough that you can't really tell anyway. But, honestly, being on a 32 inch now, bigger really is better. :cool:

Anyway, at current prices 1440P is not really affordable, but it's kind of moot because neither is 1080P. Either this is a short term anomaly and GPU prices go back down in six to twelve months, or PC Gaming is basically going to die off.

This is what I told you on the other thread you posted on this topic.



Kinda shot yourself in the foot there I'm afraid.

Look badsykes I've owned a Vega64 at 1440p and it was great at high settings in every game I played. It was just a loud and hot SOB. When I bought the 5700XT in some games I could play at highest settings at 1440p and that was great too. badsykes there is a reason 27" monitors are better at 1440p because on a screen that size 1080 looks crap for gaming. A 24" monitor is probably the sweet spot for 1080. At 1440p you're getting 78% more pixels and I thought you'd be someone who'd appreciate the extra fidelity and picture. The above mentioned cards cost me £429 a piece so it's possible to play at 1440p with a mid range card. Simples.

The benq has 1920x1200 wuxga with 94 ppi.This is my benq and Eizo graphics monitor.THe MSI have much less pixe density and i really feel them.Also my old gaming Eizo is a bit better than MSI.I wouldn't buy 1080p on a 27 inch unless is something exceptional.
1440p VSR on 24inch with 1920x1200 resolution with 94ppi looks very good.I will try 1440p on benq and see how it looks and the performance.
I am still at fence about jumping to 1440p. Thanks anyway.

I have a 27" 4K monitor (At 60Hz) and 1440p looks very good on it. It's not a great monitor by any standards but I didn't know how to shop for one at the time. The pixel density still looks fine at 1440p.

Of course, the native res 4K looks better on it but if need be it I will run lower for performance.

To tell the truth, I can't really tell while playing a game between 1440p and 4K on my monitor after scale settings are set besides brightness and clarity that goes unnoticed during fast moving games.

There is a table with pixel densities for various resolution.Provide the exact model of your monitor.

I will open this can of worms.If one buys in the 400$ gpu segment (before pandemic prices) is not worth to go 1440p unless you want to play on medium.I prefer to play 1080p high and ultra high.

So, am I the only one that thinks that this video is kinda pointless if you have anything less than a 4K monitor? I mean, if you are watching on a 1080p monitor then they will all look the same.... If you are watching on a 1440p monitor then the 1440p and the 4K will look the same...

:hmm:

Erhm no. So you if you watch the finer details they get better as the resolution increases. Fences, railings, power lines, power polls, vegetation detail etc etc etc. They all become more defined, or visible, earlier as the higher resolution has the ability to resolve them better. That of course can vary a-bit between game engines as well.

This is why things like virtual super resolution can be so awesome. As you can get that extra detail rendered and then displayed at your target resolution.

I ran youtubes on 4k on my 1900x1200 display and there is very noticeble.I ran VSR in some games and looks great.If you want to train your eyes activate VSR if you have AMD or the equivalent from nvidia and play your favourite and you will see things differently.
 
1920×1080 vs 2560×1440 – Which One Should I Choose?

1920×1080 vs 2560×1440 – Gaming


The most important thing to consider when choosing between a 1080p or a 1440p monitor for gaming is the hardware requirements for a certain video game and the desired picture settings/FPS (Frames Per Second).
To maintain steady 60 FPS at WQHD resolution and high settings in the latest titles, you will need at least something equivalent to an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti or an AMD RX 5600 XT.
Running video games at 1080p and 60 FPS with high settings is doable by more affordable graphics cards such as an AMD RX 570-4GB or an NVIDIA GTX 1060.
In the undemanding eSports titles, you’d get a notably higher FPS with these cards, allowing you to take advantage of a 1080p 144Hz monitor.
In the end, it all comes down to your personal preference, your PC gear, and the budget.
Ideally, you could get a 1440p 144Hz monitor, though you will need at least an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 5700 XT for that – depending on what games you play and at what graphics settings.

Seriously why is this is still a question.

Get a 144hz 1440p monitor (preferably with Freesync) and be done with it. Plenty of cheap good quality gaming monitors in this range. If the 1080p monitor is something special like 10 bit then keep it as a secondary monitor for any photo editing stuff.

So seriously, why is this still a question? :hmm:

Because he can't find a GPU to get affordably to run a 1440p monitor.
 
All the examples I've seen in this and the other thread would work better on a 1440p freesync monitor with the same GPU (80 vs 60 fps).

The only viable upgrade for 1440p that may resist a couple of years is RX6800.The 5700xt is already overwhelmed in some games and barely make 60fps in others.I am not talking about very high fps games like division 2 and others like this.
One way to actually enjoy 1440p would be to play 2017-2018 games and before this date.I have to turn down too much to make 60fps minimum fps.

What a load of BS :lol:, You can play many games even today at 1440p.

That video you linked shows a 5700xt above 60fps in all those scenarios. :nuts:

Will it do Ray Traciing at 60fps, no... but you're clearly not that rich and have to budget.

So either get a console, or make some sacrifices.

You can't buy a graphics card with the hopes it's going to last many years that rarely happens.

Also if you have a freesync/gsync monitor you're not going to notice that much when the FPS dips below 60.

badsykes you keep contradicting yourself. In another thread you said you wanted good RT so right now that's an nV card yet on this you you say you want a 6800 but the vid says 5700XT can do 60 FPS in most of these titles so I'm REALLY confused about what it is that you want and what budget you have to get that.
