is 4k worth it?
Is 4k worth it?

4k Gayming is only really cool for old and /boomer/ games
Nathaniel Gomez
Not right now. Give it a few years.
I will take 1440p any day.
Alexander Thomas
no and buying into it only pushes the shitty agenda of muh graphics instead of games that are actually polished, have content and aren't uncompressed messes
Easton Sanders
the only 1080p TVs they make nowadays are garbage bin quality, just get a 4k HDR with low input lag
Tyler Torres
no. framerate is king.
1440p @ 165hz is currently king.
Tyler Wood
for movies yes
for games no
Jace Ramirez
Not really.
It's just Nvidia trying to sell more gpus and gsync modules.
Noah Reyes
No, for a monitor sized screen the difference between 2k and 4k is basically nothing
Matthew Walker
No, you have to shell out at least $1000 for a 4K monitor that doesn't suck. It looks good but you should wait a year or two until it replaces 1440p as the new "standard" for PC
Kayden Harris
>three cards
How do GPUs breathe when you stack them like that? Wouldn't the one in the middle be melting?
Elijah Garcia
I honestly don't see enough difference above 1080p to make it worth the price increase.
Aiden Hall
The difference between 2k and 1080 is pretty noticeable, trust me. You can't go back once you've played on it.
4k is a meme. Avoid it unless you're using a gigantic display
Nathan Carter
Not really, no. With TVs, the distance people typically sit away from them and the sizes they are available in make it pretty meaningless. For monitors, you're going to want at least 32 inches, which most people don't get.
HDR and refresh rate are the things to chase IMO. HDR if you want shit pretty(although be careful with HDR monitors) and refresh rate if you want responsiveness. If the display that produces one of those things happens to be 4K(which it probably will be with a monitor), great. If not no big deal.
This really. Also a lot of 4K TV's can do 1080/120hz with HDR still, which is my preferred way to play when I'm using my TV.
Matthew Foster
Inductive heating reduction. By channeling the heat extracted from one gpu to the one above it the extra fan speeds aids in dispersing heat. By the third gpu the air comes out cold and helps keep overall temps lowered even ram
Wyatt Sanchez
I don't like gaming on anything bigger than 21inch and 1080 looks fine at that size so I'm more of an fps whore
Asher Rodriguez
It really depends entirely on the size of screen and the distance away from it you are.
rtings has some good info on this stuff.
Jason Thomas
4K and distance doesn't matter anymore.
Just get whatever size you want
Ryan King
That sounds reasonable, but how does the air go from one to the next. There are no holes in the board.
Luis Williams
Literally get better fucking glasses.
Juan Richardson
The fans Angel the air into the front of the card, the cases bounced the air into the top card
Caleb Lee
Not till you can get over 90fps, preferably 120fps. I play most games at 1440p for the extra framerate
Henry Roberts

William Wilson
So am I the only one using an IPS monitor for gaming?
IPS looked 1000times better then normal ones back then I bought it (6-7 years ago)
Are they out?
Did HDR replace it or what?
Adrian Stewart
I play CK2 at 4k.
Isaac Peterson
Idk why hdr is hardware dependent. Like, just change the pixels brightness in your game lmao
Ayden Walker
Doesn't it look like ass to play at 1440p on a 4k monitor?
Nicholas Edwards
they look like blower style cards. they blow the hot air out the back of the case while the intake fans on the front of the case provides cold air.
Jose Martinez
No. 1440p has been shown to give a better image than 4k with DLSS. Skip it.
Noah Parker
Nearly, I'm using a VA monitor, and Jesus Christ I wouldn't go back to a TN panel if you paid me, the difference is night and day. I'll probably get IPS when they come down in price.
Tyler Walker
Later down the line maybe, but as it stands right now we don't have the technology to allow for decent framerates with 4k, at least not at consumer prices.
Luis Reed
It's nice if you would rather not use anti-aliasing. Freesync/G-sync is the best monitor investment you can make though, not having extra input lag plus the performance increase without V-sync is great.
Austin Johnson
for singleplayer sure
for multiplayer no
Mason Jenkins
enjoy your IPS glow brah
Sebastian Harris
4k is retarded for gaming. you either deal with lower refresh rate or HUD scaling issues in older games.
Brandon Powell
give me 3d textures, real time deforming/fracture simulation, proper fluid simulation instead of spending half of the processing power on 4k bullshit, the difference between 1080p and 4k on a 24-27 monitor is not so big to justify using half the resources, but is surely WAY EASIER TO PROGRAM WHEN GAMING COMPANIES BECAME A BUNCH OF SHIT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS
Julian Hill
IPS is a panel type, HDR is color/brightness standard. The top flight big dick $2000 HDR monitors use IPS panels still, just with a bunch of backlighting zones to get around the dogshit IPS contrast.
IPS isn't necessarily better than VA. Quantum dot VA monitors have great colors like IPS monitors without the drawback of shit contrast. Only real thing IPS has over a good VA panel is motion, VA has some ghosting issues.
Aaron Cox
It wouldve been here already if the jaguar cpu wasnt complete shit, ps4/xb1 held gaming back so far, that ports to the switch can run the same games, a fucking tablet processor. Xbox 360/ps3 cpus shit on top of ps4/xb1 from a fucking sky scraper.
Adrian Green
Yes 4k is worth it, just turn off aa, chromatic aberration and motion blur, you will see the difference, I have been on 4k for 2 years now with the gtx 1080ti.
