I'm finding 4k a bit overrated. I'm happy with 720p and 1080p

I'm not looking forward to the inevitable 4K takeover. My damn wallet!

Most the price comes from making a profit from the initial investment to develop the technology. The price will drop like everything else.

So in the year 2030 will 720P / 1080P still be good?

 

 

Heck yeah. I played gta 5 on the ps4 and I thougt 1080p was amazing. 1080p 5 on pc with mods will be amazing

There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God.I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little comment. Oh, and we all know it. The "epic" PC master race, isn't it? I imagine you little sh*t laughing so hard as you're typing it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat f*cking f*ckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on forums posting about how he's superior to console players. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic mustard race NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "PC MASTER RACE." You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.

cant remember

Sometimes I think higher resolutions look worse because you can more clearly see where the details stop.

eg. I never noticed it on consoles in GTA4, but now on PC it is extremely noticable that cars don't have occupents until they get close, you suddenly see the driver pop in. It's quite distracting lol.

I don't even have a 1080p screen (yet) (I'm lower than a console "peasant" right now)

 

If I wait long enough, I might be able to skip it and jump to 4k right away :lol:

 

Think I'll get me a cheap 24" monitor for the meantime, 19" is really sh*tty right now

1440p is probably the best target to aim for, but imo, it's still not worth the price for gaming as the only benefit is that you can have a larger screen with slightly higher ppi than 24inch 1080p.

Ips is probably more important, having a 4k tn panel ruins it as the colours would just be terrible, and 4k ips is just so expensive. Stick with 1080p ips, don't go tn unless you want 144hz, but it will make games look bad, so I only use my 144Hz monitor for cs go, and would stick to 1440p on more casual games like battlefield, cod, gta.

4k 60fps is entirely possible with dual titan xs, just wait till the 390x for it to be more affordable.

And 4K with mods will look better than 1080p with mods. What is your point?

f*ck off. How is that being a peasant? He even agrees that 1080p on PC with mods would be amazing. Sorry for my french. But kindly f*ck off, you're the single platformer peasant.

 

However your intended point that his statement is illogical still stands. Just stop the peasant crap.

I've never been a huge fan of the 4k technology. Maybe I'll get a 4k monitor for gaming but in a couple of years or so, for now 1080p with anti-aliasing gets the job done pretty well IMO.

Like others have said, it's one of those thing thats are inevitable as technology gets better.

 

But do I personally see a big enough difference to upgrade? No. Hell, even 720p with good AA and motion blur is still passable for me. And I think people underestimate this kind of stuff.

1080p is good, and it's also the minimum I will accept.

 

720p, absolutely not, what is this? 2007?

4k is just too much right now, when i see people with a 28" 4k monitor it just makes me laugh ... If you have a big ass screen ok why not but around 30" it's just useless, better buy a 1440p

YA BOY DIRT

Within the next 3 to 5 years, Ultra HD 4k will become the standard in high definition and HD 1080 will be the new 480/720. Around this time 5 years ago, most people were still adjusting to 1080p displays on their TVs; this is just technology advancing. Come 2020-2023, 8k or even 10k HD will be the standard and 4k will be a thing of the past.

 

Nothing overrated about a game company optimizing their product to run with the times.

"Look how good gta 4 was in 460p on the ps3 lol"

 

Uh, no? GTAIV looks like and runs like complete sh*t on consoles, particularly the PS3.

4K is beautiful, when you see it you will start to want it :)

 

Call it investing in the future, but I'm very happy to have a 4K screen right now :)

 

1080 is obviously fine for now, but calling 4K over rated? Nah man, I don't agree with you.

 

This.

I will be playing in 1080p. NO choice really as i have a 1080 display. I will wait until 4k displays drop alot more in $$$$

I believe the market should focus a bit more on higher refresh rates than resolution, as a point will come where the resolution wont matter, as we simply won't be able to perceive the pixels.

Look how good gta 4 was in 460p on the ps3 lol. I'm sure 1080p gta 5 with mods will look way better than vanila gta 5 on 4k.

 

Who cares about online lol. I just want to shoot bad guys in single player

 

Just because you dont have a rig thats able to push 4k doesnt mean its not amazing..

I have played on 1080, 1440, and 4k and 4k is just something else..No mod can replicate it.

You do realize how long it takes for 1080p to be adopted by mass market as a successor to 720p? Do you realize how long it takes for 16:9 screens to surpass a 4:3 screen?

 

4K will not be mainstream within 5 years. 1080p content is still lacking, so 4K content is definitely extremely lacking. How much money do people need to shell out for a 2160p60 capable system? That's right, over $1000. That is using US prices. Count worldwide inflation, third world countries.

 

I mean, even people here in my country, a freaking G20 major economies member with 4th most populated country, are having problems with broadcasting 720p through digital TV. Tons of people are still watching through that peasantry 576i broadcast using analog PAL TV.

"Look how good gta 4 was in 460p on the ps3 lol"

I have to agree on this. Even X360 version looked much, much better than PS3 in regards of GTA IV. 1280x720 vs 1152x640. 4xMSAA vs sh*tty quincunx AA.

If you not striving for 4k 30/60fps or with 1080p 60fps ultra being your minimum. Then you doing it wrong. Pc peasant.

1080p for me. I`ll probably switch to 1440p or 4k during my next PC build which will probably be in 5 years or something. Knowing how technology advances I`d say by that time 4k will be a standard and I`ll get GTX1280 or something with 6Gb VRAM, Intel i7 6770, 32Gb of DDR5 RAM :D

You know there are lots of resolutions in between 1080p and 4K, like....2K or 1440p or even a custom resolutions! :)

I dont have a 4k screen, and I have a GTX 970 GPU that isnt very capable for 4K gaming...so I am more than happy with 1080p in max details :)

But after some time (2-3 years), like everybody said, 4K will become a standard and I will buy a 4k screen and a better gpu...

1440p here ROG Swift. Hope my GTX 670 can keep up, may have to lower the settings slightly. I get about 70fps on gta4 so hopefully this game runs better and smoother.

I've had a 4k screen for only a week and already I can't stand to look at 1080p. All I see are dreadful pixels and aliasing everywhere. 4k is a god send for my eyes. The haters will hate because they don't have. Once they acquire, their stories will change like the true hypocrites they are. 4k is better, hands down, there is no discussion about it. It's like comparing a 2015 Ferrari to a 1995 Ford Escort, the Ferrari is better, hands down, no discussion, but those who don't have the Ferrari will jealously justify in their tiny minds why their Escort is better.

Jeez, I don't own a 4K monitor, so I could care less about all the 4K hype, but you're practically in denial if you say the lower resolution actually looks better.
