Hi, I'm curious about which version would display better in games. Which one looks more suitable? I'm considering two options: one with Ultra Settings, FHD monitor, and 200% scaling, and another with Ultra Settings, a 4K monitor, and no scaling.

4K no scaling is fundamentally different since your perception for the first time in life will largely depend on your eyes, just as it does in reality. There are still some constraints from the screen, but any enhancement in screen clarity will reduce that further, because although your eye might capture some of it, it won't capture everything as before. I would prioritize refresh rate over everything else. Fucking DP 2.0, AMD/Nvidia/Intel, hurry up. I'm really excited to see the wave of 4K 144hz monitors with DP 2.0.

As a joke, with 4K no scaling you'll notice aliasis, while with FHD you won't.

Asus VX239H when watching 4k video on YouTube on my screen offers much clearer quality compared to 1080p. I noticed that scaling helps a lot, but I questioned whether there’s a significant difference between the native 4K ULTRA settings and FHD ULTRA with 200% scale (software). I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth investing in a 4K monitor or if I can get good results on an FHD screen with the scale adjusted. If the quality doesn’t change much, then buying a 4K monitor might not be necessary.

The real 4K display offers a significant improvement over 1080p when using 200 scaling.

Native 4k versus scaled 1080p really stands out to me. I just got a 4k 43-inch TV and was watching Fallout 4 on my 1080p monitor, and it’s clear what the difference is. Everything looked much sharper.

When Fallout 4 was released, I already had a 4k monitor and couldn’t grasp why everyone thought it looked poor.
After playing it in 1080p, I understood the issue.
It seems the developers mostly used 4k displays and never tested their work at lower resolutions.
For instance, with trees, there aren’t enough pixels at 1080p to make their designs look good, resulting in a blurry appearance. Even at 1440p it doesn’t seem great.
The game still functions at 1600p, but I still favor playing it in 4k.
