If limited to these specific frame rates and resolutions, I’d choose the one that delivers the smoothest gameplay. Even though most setups are fine at 1080P/60Hz, 1440P/60Hz, or 144Hz, I’d pick the ultra setting with AA disabled for that extra polish. It’s a bit extreme, but I’m curious how many would trade stability for that ultra-smooth feel.
8k at 30hz works any time of the week. I value clear results and good quality more than fluid motion. I’m settling for 4k with a 770, which keeps me comfortable at around 30fps.
Think about 4K at 60 frames per second. I’d struggle with anything less than AA quality. Yet 30 FPS feels really tough for me too.
You prefer lower resolution games at 720p with 144 Hz, while favoring higher quality movies or work at 8K at 30 Hz.
I understand the focus on 4K at 60 frames per second because it highlights whether speed or quality is preferred. We've already mentioned that 1080P with 60 FPS works well. The question is about how much you'd need to push in one direction to achieve a good frame rate or resolution, while making the other less appealing.
8k 30 I prefer 60fps and 144fps, but 720 looks great on bigger screens over 19 inches.
It's interesting how folks dislike 720P. I used to play a lot on my PS3 and Uncharted 2+3, but watching them on my 1080P 22-inch screen didn't bother me much—just smooth 30 FPS. Now I'm using a GTX 980 SLI rig on a 28-inch 4K G-sync monitor, and anything under 1440P feels overwhelming. Probably the screen size really matters.
