Hello!
I'm planning to make my once in an 8-10 year PC upgrade before Christmas, and I'm struggling to decide what to do about 4K vs 1440p.
I love the idea of having a high-refresh 4K panel, that would be great for productivity on my PC or laptop, but also beautiful and buttery smooth for gaming. The problem is that it seems as if even an RTX 2080 Ti won't drive particularly high FPS to get all the benefit of high refresh rate. I'm looking at SLI, but it seems not many games fully support it, or when they do the FPS upside is not great (or even a downside!) I could run challenging games at 1080p, but that won't be a pixel-perfect upscale and would deliver a worse picture than just having a 1080p display, and definitely inferior to a 1440p display.
Does anyone have experience or views of gaming on 1440p vs 4K, with or without SLI?
I will be playing a mix of titles from older games, to strat like Civ VI and Anno, WoW, to Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. I'm usually not in to the AAA games.
