It's interesting to see how many of you use lower resolutions. While 1440p and 4K are popular, many still stick with 720p. I'm using a Sapphire R9 290X with 8GB DDR3 memory and an i3 4th Gen processor. Right now, I'm limited to 720p, but I managed to play Nioh 2 yesterday at over 60 FPS on that setting. It's still clear when I enable GPU scaling on my 1080p display. I hope not everyone is stuck in the same situation!
You recently changed your resolution from 720p to 1080p, but you were only using 720p since you didn’t have a 1080p display.
You're wondering what the difference is between 1080p and 720p. It's definitely better quality, but the improvement isn't huge—just noticeable. Right now, upgrading feels too expensive, especially with high GPU prices and not having a job. So you stick with 720p because your current setup works for you.
It's quite alike to cars on the street. For each Lambo or Bentley you spot, there are many Kias and Fords with over 100,000 miles. You're in the fan community online, naturally you'll hear a lot of high-end discussions. Check Steam's details for a more accurate view. Appreciate what you have—it's yours and it functions. Done.
Edit: To be honest, I'm 47 and earn a solid income. It wasn't always this way. People's goals and priorities are their own, just like yours. Don't compare; life is short enough to focus on your own path.
You're using a 4K monitor but switching to 1080p for playback. You're not seeing a noticeable drop in quality, especially with minor text artifacts, and the performance is significantly improved at 60 FPS compared to lower settings. This should also help extend the monitor's lifespan.
