Do you guys think 4k is worth it? Or should i stick with 1440p?

[Volvorine]

The game dont have that good of graphics annyways so i don't know if i should buy new monitor.

[chaankerz]

1080p is the way to go, also install onto a None-SSD

[Dova]

2k at 144hz is a good middle ground

[Seoul]

720p baest

[Somulo]

well i got 4k 60 fps and its overrated i think

but with elden you cant get past 60 fps if only mods not unloc it somehow so 2k 165 hz its the best option on the market right now

so people who have it - you got best possible panel in the world right now

[DAWN OF THE DEAD]

i just wait for 4k ~120hz <1000hdr in price range of 1000-1500eu until dat i am ok with 1440p

Not on an SSD? You burn in Hell, my good man. I just got a brand new SSD for this along with a few other games.

I play in 1080p, doesn't make me a savage.

elden ring will be capped at 60 fps unfortunately

I still play in 1080p, and I am absolutely fine with it.

people have no idea what 4k its 1-5% of all audiency

steam stat 90% of people same as you play via 1080p monitors

also all content - meaning movies and etc are 1080p also

all netflix and youtube 4k its basically not a real 4k at all

and to upload real 4k video you need like 1tb+ storage for 1 movie))

with h265 (hevc) codec, you can have 4k movie squeezed into 20-30GB file
but that's not the point
4k is good for graphics design or text rendering, but for movie or game it is not that dramatic. it is noticeable, but not dramatic.

for games it is even worse trade-off. instead of rendering 4 times more pixels, a user should want stable and higher fps, greater draw distances, more shadow-casting lights, and so on - everything that improves graphical fidelity. it is like running a PS1 game on emulator in 1080p - yes, the resolution is high, but the graphics is blocky, chonky, vertices are trembling, and so on. there are more things to care about, than just resolution. the problem is resolution is easy number to understand and sell to normies, just like megapixels in phones (resolution of cameras), so people won't stop talking about it. and it is a profitable marketing strategy for GPU vendors - they can't improve graphics, but just increasing resolution demands more powerful GPUs without sponsoring games development at all.

2k is the sweet spot for gaming imo. 2k to 4k resolution is no where near as big of a step at 1080p to 2k. That being said, if you're looking to upgrade your monitor specifically for elden ring, I would say it would no be worth it. I doubt there would be a noticeable difference between 2k and 4k on this game. You'd get more contrast between LED vs OLED screens.

[ZTL-Altima]

Play just at the maximum resolution you can play. No matter how minimum, always there will be a difference.

That being said, during gameplay, 1440p vs 4k is not that much noticiable to the point of dramatic improvement, at least on monitors. So, priority always on FPS first.

[Bricky strong]

In my opinion don't buy 4k unless you are wealthy enough to keep upgraded all the time so you can afford to run games at 4k. Running at 4k requires extremely expensive hardware, some games are easier, but generally, 4k is very difficult to run.
