Why 1440 Resolution ?

[Guydodge]

So i constantly hear how 4k is so much better than 1440.i just dont see it.
let me tell you why fighting to hold a decent fps on todays games with the
way they are released is a constant battle.some people think im wrong that i built
a new PC 13900k / 4090 o.c to run 1440res.but imo you couldnt be more wrong

i built it to power thru all these terrible port/games and it does it
perfectly.
im running any game at 144fps or locked to any fps i choose for a great
gaming experience.i am able to turn on every single enhancement in the
game menu and nvidia panel including,ambient occlusion on quality/
texture filtering negative lod bias on allow and texture filtering
on high quality along with pixel enhancement in my monitor at 25%
gives an amazing graphics experience that is every bit as good
(i say better as i get all the reflections,lightings,fogs,special
effects blah blah blah)at a great framerate for an amazing gameplay
and graphics experience.

and all this with no dlss unless you'd like to hit 240fps.
so if your tired of the janky sub 60fps and turning everything off or down
which defeats the reason to even run 4k.pull out your old 1440
monitor and see what these new games/enhancements really have to offer
you might just be amazed what youve been missing.thats my take.

3440x1440 144hz is the sweetspot, 4k is a resource hog

I disagree with the people who think this.

The idea that you have to match a graphics card tier to resolution tier is arbitrary. If something can do 4K acceptably, then it can do 1440p more acceptably and last longer doing it. there's no particular reason you HAVE to choose a slower GPU, and replace it sooner, just to "match" it. This modern mentality of "you have to match this to that!" is one of my biggest pet peeves, honestly...

I might personally find a Core i9 excessive for just games, but if you have the extra to spend after allotting towards the GPU (and you clearly do, as you went as high as you could on the GPU, so it's your decision), then there's nothing wrong with it.

But I absolutely disagree that a RTX 4090 is wasteful on 1440p. I'd do the same if I could afford it.

As for resolution, it's preference. Everyone will have their own opinion. I'm not going to say 4K has no benefit, but unless you can repeatedly buy at the very high end graphics cards every generation, it seems like 1440p is a better experience. I'm still on 1920 x 1200 and 60 Hz (I'm honestly fine with 60 FPS in games but I want higher refresh for desktop and for the option in games though). After my graphics card upgrade, my next display will probably be 1440p, 120/144 Hz+, IPS.

Edit: And yeah, poor PC ports are unfortunate. I think we're sadly in for much more of them. It's like we have to compensate with far more hardware than we should compared to what hardware the consoles have.

I like 21:9 1440p

So much better frame rates. I'll take those any day

I'm really not sure what the op is going on about with "janky sub 60fps". I game at 4K max settings (currently with a 7950X3D & 4090) and I have no problems with frame rates even in the latest games people claim are "poorly optimized" (Forspoken, Hogwarts Legacy, Atomic Heart, The Last of Us) and DLSS isn't even needed. All of them were well above 60 fps. The Last of Us is my most recently played and I can tell you I was getting over 100 fps at 4K max settings no DLSS. I only know that because someone asked me, typically if my game play is smooth I don't care about fps.

There is also a benefit to a large 4K display a lot of people over look. I have a 43" Aorus FV43U, amazing display for 4K HDR gaming. If I decide I wan't a 1440p 21:9 experience I can simply set the resolution and I essentially have a 34" 1440p ultrawide albeit with black bars at the top and bottom. It really doesn't make sense to spend more money on a 1440p ultrawide when you can have both.

The thing is, 4070 Ti is enough to run all the games at 1440p on high/ Ultra settings, including all the visual enhancements what the OP has mentioned, for half the price of 4090.
RTX 4090 is a 4k card, if you use it at lower resolutions, you are leaving performance on the table.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

1440p in either 16:9 or 21:9 with high refresh rate over 4K any day.

[Guydodge]

just so you all know ive tried 4k and i know exactly what your getting and how its running
i'll just leave it there.my post stands.and a 4090 is not a 4k card its a card.its not that i cant run 4k its that i choose to run the better all around experience.to many sacrifices that maybe acceptable for you do not work for me.and im leaving no performance on the table.your sacrificing performance for what you perceive is a graphical improvement.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yes but when running a majority of games less then 2160p; a GPU like a 4090 is going to have a large portion of its GPU raw performance go un-used. It's like driving a race car on a city street and abiding the speed limits and civilian road rules and never being able to unleash that race car's full potential.

I've ran so many games so well with a 4070 Ti even at 4K I saw the 4090 is rather pointless. 4090 users mainly just have money to burn and wanted to jump on the RTX 40 series band-wagon ASAP is the way I see it. You don't "need" a 4090 to run games well or maxed out.

But hey if you have a 4080 or a 4090 or whatever and you're happy with it, so be it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

You clearly don't from your "janky sub 60fps and turning everything off or down" comment. It literally takes 5 seconds on Google for anyone to prove you wrong so why even waste your time trying to peddle a lie.

[MancSoulja]

Stop worrying about words like 4K or 1440p, they mean nothing on their own. Concentrate on getting the highest PPI you can regardless of resolution.

lies huh ..go fire up deadspace remake/forspoken/last of us just to name a few try maxing them out.them come back and tell me how much im lying.im maxing them out and still hitting over 100++ minus forspoken i did see a drop for a few seconds to around 80.so ive locked forspoken to 120fps like i said.i built to power through the garbage.let me know how you fare with those 3 if youd like another list of games let me know i'll throw you some more.
im even throwing you a bone with these ones he has a 6ghz overclock

5120x1440 is where it's at, I find the 4090 does well in most games max settings 80+ FPS usually around 100fps avarage. Hogwarts legacy is the only game I had to use frame gen to get there.

Id like to know the resolutions dlss is using for both 3440x1440p and 5120x1440p but cant find it. Id rather have native and dlaa and frsme generation. But i dont think you can do that can you? Is the frame generation tied to the ai image reconstruction?

[emoticorpse]

I think a 4090 for 1440p is a good idea (especially in today's pc gaming situation). Kind of why I went with a 2070 years ago for only 1080p (and that was when pc games were still competently made). Also why I got a 7900 12 core cpu now.
