The difference between 1440p and a 1080p screen lies in resolution.

Checking if 1440p on a 1080p display boosts clarity significantly. In New Vegas, I’m noticing less of a gap compared to standard 1080p. Looking for side-by-side comparisons would help.
You can't boost the built-in resolution of a 1080P display to 1440P; you require a 1440P monitor to play games at that higher resolution. That's why changes in game settings don't show a difference on a 1080P screen unless you're using a different setup. Unless you're referring to OGSSAA, which is about enhancing resolution through supersampling in games, the statement might not be accurate. I have limited knowledge about OGSSAA or similar concepts.
My screen (1920x1080) functions properly when I adjust my desktop resolution to 2560x1440 in the Nvidia control panel, though it feels a bit strange. I noticed slight variations between Trine and Trine 2, but it doesn’t seem necessary to change every time or struggle with the almost unreadable desktop. I doubt this would be practical...
It will boost the pixel count, yet it doesn’t guarantee a better image quality. My old Acer P221w is a 16:10 1680x1050 display. I’ve used the Nvidia control panel to push beyond its native resolution, but the result isn’t impressive. It varies for each person depending on the specific monitor they own.
I'm using a 1080p monitor and switching to 1440p in games. It doesn't always work well—sometimes it acts like anti-aliasing, shrinking images while widening the field of view. Trine 2 on Ultra looks great with this setup, especially in Guild Wars 2, but games like League of Legends handle it smoothly without noticeable issues. It puts extra strain on the GPU and can cause problems like blurry text in Windows, so I run 1080p on the system and enable 1440p in game settings for certain titles. It doesn't suit every game, and it might even make some look worse if not used wisely.
