1440p is STILL the sweet spot of gaming.
Well i just upgraded my PC to a 5080/9800X3D build, and hooked to my 1440p monitor, and then 4KTV, and i am sorry, but even tho i hit 60fps in games easily at 4k, 1440p just gives me great visuals for the best fps combo still.. I just cant find 4k anything more than overrated still. 1440p is where its at.

lol you do you, as long as you enjoy it!
Yeah, true. I'm playing at 4k, but I always have DLSS on quality, which essentially is 1440p.

But it all depends on the monitor size, I have a 43" monitor so it needs to be 4K.

1080p will def give the best fps, but i think the loss in clarity doesnt make it worth it. 1440p you get the best fo both worlds, but as long as you enjoy it, thats all that matters!
4k is better for a bigger screen but 2k is great for desktop

I mean yeah, but i just prefer more fps, and higher settings. 4k can give me 60, but i want more, and the dip to 1440p isnt that noticeable for me.But i dont think theres any wrong way to play games, i just think 1440p gives the best of both.

I think 1440 will remain the best for quite a while unless something unexpectedly better comes out
Nothing beats a 640 x 480 CRT Monitor with 50hz.

True
It all depends on the monitor really.

So higher resolutions don't really matter unless you have a higher level monitor that can handle it. Games pushing higher textures just slog the game down and make controls feel clunky.

Up/down scale is a joke and a waste of resources that does not do any justice to the picture quality.

With my TV as a monitor I am super happy with 1920x1080

Thats a fair take.
