tomexplodes: Based on the massively negative rep... guys, stop feeding the obvious troll.
Jon_Irenicus_PL: Wait, so let me get this straight. You are calling me a troll just because some disagreeable people are wroth with me. How does that make sense? You don't even know me. That's like saying "based on the fact he's Polish, stop allowing him near your car".
Because it's a very unpopular take. Yes, 1440p 144-240Hz will give a better experience than 1080p 60Hz. But the difference between the two is marginal, like going from 720p to 1080p instead of 360p LDTV / 480p SDTV to 1080p HDTV. Panel technology and G-sync / Freesync may be a different story, however.
All i did was state a fact. 1080p is simply not enough nowadays, and i feel ashamed for having kept up with it for so long.
Facts are empirical and objective. Bolded is an example of a statement that can't be proven. It's a fact that it's not enough for you, but you can't extrapolate that statement to everyone else; this is data you need to go find out about.
That is the single reason i am not buying a next gen console... except for the fact i simply haven't cared about console gaming since the PS3 days. For some reason, Sony and Microsoft, some of the largest tech companies out there, can't make the consoles compatible with 1440p.
Consoles were made for TV. There are very few at all 1440p TVs. Doesn't seem like a smart business decision to put resources into a resolution that isn't widely supported.
1080p may be fine-ish for movies. However, for gaming it's simply awful.
Not everyone needs 1440p gaming. And the maintenance costs of 1440p gaming may be inaccessible for some people seeing as you have to upgrade to a highrange GPU every 3-4 years if you want to keep playing the newest AAA games at the 1440p high settings.
The performance argument is bullshit. I have a low end system with RTX 2060, Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB of RAM (3200 mhz). Most games i play in 1440p work PERFECTLY fine in more than 60 FPS.
That RTX 2060 is a
1440p 50-60 FPS GPU or a 1080p 80-100 FPS in 2019. It's effectively a 1080p GPU for 144 Hz monitors. I doubt you'll be able to play 1440p AAA high setting 2021 games this year at a constant 60 FPS given generational requirements.
HZD (2020) runs at 45-50 FPS on 1440p high settings on the RTX 2060 for example. Sure, you can say argue you play less demanding or mid-2010 PC games at 1440p 100+ FPS, but to label it as so with that card is quite misleading.
