Compare PC ultra 1440p with PS4 help resources.
1440p setups aren't cheap at 1k. If the gap between 1080p PC and 900P PS4 isn't noticeable, maybe it's not worth the price?
Struggling to distinguish between PC ultra and PS4 titles at 1080p is tough—it's more about the frame rate. At 30 FPS it feels like a slow slideshow, whereas 60 FPS looks smooth. The videos on YouTube are also compressed, so the visual differences aren't huge. But in real life, it matters.

I’m not too concerned about Fps 30 being acceptable, but switching to PC over my PS4 would offer better graphics. Most new games are already optimized for consoles, so even Witcher might not show a big difference on PC. I’m starting to question whether it’s worth the change.
