Comparing 1080p Ultra and 1440p High settings
Comparing 1080p Ultra and 1440p High settings
Hey everybody. I'm asking if you prefer playing at 1080p with ultra settings or 1440p on high settings for better FPS. One friend is deciding between a full HD or 2K display for his PC with a GTX 1070. He wants to play at 60 FPS in the best quality, but some games lag below that on 1440p ultra while running smoothly above it at 1080p ultra. The only way to hit 60 FPS is to go high settings. I’ve read that using 1080p on a QHD monitor isn’t ideal. Which option would be better for gaming?
I would choose a greater resolution while reducing some specifics compared to a lower resolution that has more detail occasionally.
I would select a higher resolution and carefully choose the settings that deliver optimal performance and image quality.
Most of the time I don’t need to worry and simply use a preset.
Also display his signature, just for the sake of it.
1440p would be better, he might even secure a larger panel (27") while maintaining good PPI... Or perhaps opt for a 24" with very high PPI. In any case, you're getting something, and by pushing ultra versus high you're only losing FPS without any real gain.
Most games perform smoothly above 60 fps with custom settings in both 1080p and 1440p resolutions.
Not accurate. Not accurate at all.
Also incorrect. Also not accurate, completely.
Playing games in 1440p, 1080p, 900p and 720p on a 1440p 144Hz display is effective.
If you fine-tune both graphics and PC configurations properly, you can achieve the maximum possible frame rate without sacrificing important visual details for the player.
I wonder what the rest of your friends’ PC specifications are—they will influence how each game runs.
The remaining specifications include
I7 4770k
16 gb DDR3 RAM
Thermaltake 550w PSU
ASUS Maximus VI Hero
The monitor dimensions also play a role, but for screens larger than 20 inches, 1440p is the standard choice.
