The very bad news is, Nvidia says turning DLSS 5 on will currently reduce performance by 50-60%. And that’s across the board—no matter the game.

    4k monitors look fine rendering 1080p

    If you have a pixel

    A 4K monitor can in the same physical space draw

    Showing more real detail it can also display in 1080p mode

      Yes, thank you for explaining that. No I will not buy a 4k smart TV, as I don’t care and like my 1080p (and even old tube 480p tvs) the way it looks.

      This is just more “please buy our shit” sort of crap we have to deal with way way too much these days.

        Given a reasonable amount of horsepower it makes sense to run your games in 4K. I was just pointing out that you CAN run a given game in 1080p if you don’t have enough juice and it won’t look worse than if it was running on a 1080p monitor. 4K is in fact great.

        Pretending that it doesn’t actually look better is just pure copium. It’s no more real than the flat earth.

        You don’t have to be wiling to spend on it but it makes little sense to pretend its not better.

          When did I state any of that?

          And no it is not “better” other then being more pricey, there are pros and cons.

            You just said it wasn’t better other than being more expensive then said there are pros and cons. Did you glitch chatGPT?
