Is 1440p Becoming the New Gaming Standard? - Byte Size Tech

[@tigermonkey3117]

I know there's a better place to ask but I'm going to try asking here. I currently have a 5900X with 64 GB of RAM and a 7900 XTX. I feel like for most games the 5900X gives me really good frame times and butter smooth gameplay, however there are a few games where I feel like the extra four cores would smooth out my frame times even more. I don't plan on upgrading anything in my build for at least 3 years, do you think if I bought a 5950X and sold the 5900X if that would be a worthwhile thing to do or is it just a waste of time.

[@ByteSizeTech]

Waste of time. Enjoy what you have, when you’re ready to upgrade, make it big enough to WOW you. Zen 4 isn’t it, Zen 5 probably isn’t either. Wait until Zen 6.

[@tigermonkey3117]

@@ByteSizeTech awesome, thank you so much for replying. I'll wait until Zen 6 to have that wow experience. On a side note though, I did listen to your videos about making your computer work for you and if you can afford it it's not a waste of money. I initially bought a pre-built with 8 GB of RAM and an I-5 9400F with a GTX 1660. After listening to your advice over the course of a year I ended up with the build I have now and I wish I could go back and smack myself with a cold wet fish.

I don't want to rush jumping to 4K as I don't want to repeat my mistake when I jumped to 1440p too soon even though I had a strong GPU at that time. For 4K, the minimum should be the top 4000 series GPUs.

[@daniil3815]

did 1440p monitor required couple GPU upgrades? Understandable, same situation with 1440p ultrawides or 4k these days. I feel like only 4090 can future proof those high end monitors for several years. overall, you better have 4080+ performance for 4k 144hz. currently I have 3060ti and 1440p monitor. will wait 1 year until 5000 series released, and buy 4k monitor with brand new high end system (dreaming about 5090, hopefully I will be able to afford it).

@@LastExile1989 yes several years (4-5 years I believe) until we get ps6. Games became way more demanding in the last 2 years due to new ps5 and xbox x. Now it is going to be several years of stagnation where games will be made for ps5 and xbox x. Same happened last time with ps4. Do you remember how long 1080ti lasted, for example? for 5 years it was a premium gpu, all the way till new made for ps5 games were released. For exact reason I want to buy 5090 at release, it will give me premium experience for several years. 4090 can be pretty much the same, but I cannot make myself to upgrade now since my PC is only 2 years old, and it is only 1 year till 5090

I went 1440p as my all-purpose resolution. If you are happy with 1080p then simply get a screen size where the pixel size is the same but at 1440p you then get more desktop space. I've always felt that 1080p was cut short a bit. For instance, it is hard to display a full MS Word document at a reasonable reading size on a 24" 1080p monitor. But at 1440p on a 27" monitor it fits great and reads great.

Unless you watch a lot of movies, I'd say 1440p is fine. I have 4k. It's awesome for work, (lots of stuff open & visible,) but for gaming, I'd say 1440p gets you about 85% of the wow factor 4k does.

I think that 1440p is a great sweet spot. For gaming, I have the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF, which happens to be 1440p (3440 x 1440), and some would argue that is one of the best gaming monitors around.

[@ElladanKenet]

Nice vid. I still want to put a few more years on my monitor before I make the upgrade to 1440p. Also, you guys having audio issues? I was detecting some noticable clipping anytime Rogue was talking.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

That's probably very wise. I love 1440P but it spoils you and then the GPU has to be upgraded if it isn't enough to drive it next. It's a slippery slope. I ended up with both an old HD ready monitor, using a tv 1080P we had anyway, and then buying a 1440P monitor (April 2020). Am playing 1440P but it took a new build to get to that point. 1080P was decent. My friend on 1440P UW also has a hard time to drive it, so there's the eventually GPU upgrade that comes after the monitor upgrade. I feel like the best jump was for watching media rather than gaming if that makes any sense for what I notice as a wow factor. In 2023 I finally have that gaming experience I wanted in 2020. Upgrading is a slippery slope/money pit.

[@andregomes3317]

Another thing to consider is upscaling. Any upscaling struggles A LOT at 1080p output resolution . Since it's the single best optimization feature present in most games these days, better than any other Setting you can mess with, and the value of which is Higher the Higher the output resolution , that is an important factor that will "push" more people into 1440p. Your game literally becomes better optimized in terms of visual quality / power required to draw it.

[@CrazySerb]

Not really. Both DLSS and FSR cost performance because there is no special fixed function hardware to run algorithm on. Since you can't choose acrual algorithm like in unreal 4+. For exanple. 5-tap lanczos 2 (mid tier in ue4) will reduce performance by up to 20%. While picture quality does improve over just 1080p rendering. It will not be compara le to actual 1440p. The only reason why DLSS and FSR can look beter than native is because devs can't be bothered to adjust or give us controls over taa, sharpening and upscaling, which is like 10 minutes of work for unreal4+ since commands are built in already.

[@wertigon]

Right now I am in a bind when it comes to new monitors. My cheap-but-decent options boil down to: $265 - 27" IPS 1440p@180Hz 1 ms response $480 - 27" IPS 4k@160Hz 1ms response My reasoning, whatever screen I buy will be with me for the next 5-10 years. Thus, investing in the 4k option makes a bit of sense, but I also want two screens and it doesn't make $1000+ sense for two screens. I don't really mind if I can't properly drive the screen right now, my next PC will come and pwn the current one completely, and a 180Hz screen with a 40Hz app refresh rate is still perfectly viable. I am currently rocking a 1440p@75 Hz IPS, it's decent but it's not great, I could keep this and just go for a single 1440p more I suppose. I hate different-res panels though.

[@goldenheartOh]

Have you seen 4k at 27" vs 1440p with your own eyes? Can you really tell the difference at that size? I don't know the general answer. I jumped from 24" 1080p to 32" 4k. 1440p on 4k looks a bit fuzzy. Heck, even 1080p looks fuzzy on it, which surprised me because I figured since it's an integer scale exactly, it'd still be razor sharp.

we gotta consider that a lot of people won't throw out their monitors and use them till they break down. On 1080p super high refresh rates are actually affordable compared to 1440p.

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

I prefer 1440p over 4K due to the comparisons I've tested on my LG OLED. Running 1440p @ 120fps is cheaper on the hardware and power and the PPI on the LG OLED of a 42-48" is so good most ppl wont be able to tell the difference between 1440p & 4K. Even if I wanted to do 4K, capture card HDMI 2.1 pass thru is just now barely coming out. Imo 4K is still very expensive to do it right that it doesnt make much sense in most cases.

[@markp2085]

On my gaming machine I have been using a 32" 1440p since 2016, but its only 75htz. On my production computer, I use a 27" 4k 144hz monitor. After gaming on both, I decided I preferred gaming on the larger monitor, even though its lower resolution and only half the frequency of the 4k monitor.

[@evenbetterthantherealthing92]

The big reasons for 1080p on the recent Galaxy S and S Plus is both for battery and because most people can't really see the difference as the pixel density at 1080p is still far higher than any 4k (2160p) monitor or TV. While I have an S22 ultra I bought on launch, my dad's S22 plus looks very good even at 1080p.

It has very good response times and HDR 600. 1440p 165-170hz monitors are pretty affordable nowadays if you are willing to turn down some settings even most modern games can be run at 1440p with an upper mid range GPU.

The problem isnt monitor prices, its whats required to drive them at very high settings and higher fps.

But you can turn down settings, so wait you want more pixels but then worse quality. I know its a balance between settings and resolutions but whats the point of moving up to a higher res, which normally comes with a screen size increase to only make all those pixels look worse Edit: I was looking at getting a 1440p Ultrawide for work and then realized I would need a 4090 to play games and use the monitor properly.

I've hated setting up trips. I've done it on super ultras and its more than fine with me. With a lot less hassle.

For gaming 1080p is perfectly fine so long as you don't go above 24", and your hardware is not overpowered for the resolution.

When 4K 60FPS and high settings isn't achievable, a 34" 3440 x 1440 display is the ticket. Playing games at anything less than that isn't worth my time.

my specs Core i5 13500, Gigabyte B660M Aorus Pro AX(WiFi) RTX 3070, 32GB DDR4 3200MT/s. Should I be on 1440? Current monitor 1080p 144hz. Yes I play Apex Legend and Battlefield a lot and some times story games like RDR2, The Last of Us. Games like story oriented. Thanks

[@gamershow5944]

I play WoW only now on a $600 (best buy online sale) gaming laptop RTX3050 6GB with 32in 1080p curved monitor. I still have my GTX1070 8GB desktop but saving it. I spent 100$ on Steam new games that I barely played.

[@goldenheartOh]

Saving it for what??? That doesn't make sense.

[@armyraw29]

my galaxy a12 is 720x1600. thats what 1.1 million pixels vs 2 million on 1920x1080. so thats 270 ppi. my 23 inch 1080p monitor is 96 ppi.

[@frankdegan8972]

I had and S21 plus it was 1440p. I “upgraded” to the S23 plus and it was 1080p.

[@venger5705]

I've been on 1440p for 10 years now...

[@johnn8438]

Might have been better to ask which resolution the chat is gaming on instead of going down the mobile display rabbit hole.

[@djgroopz4952]

1440p monitors seem to be sold more than any other resolution. Unless you're pretty poor (1080p) or very rich (4k). 1440 seems to be the best bang for your buck. 4k also needs really really good hardware otherwise... something isn't quick matching. 2080, 3000 series and slower 4000 series cards seem to work great with 1440 but not so with 4k. Otherwise you'd have to lower settings on 3aa games.

[@tizianodewaele3575]

i have a r5 5600x and rx 6800. should i upgrade to 1440p (currently on 1080p, because i want to be future proof)? im not planning to upgrade my cpu and gpu.

[@sdrubaa]

I have pretty much the same combo with a 24 1080p 240hz monitor while having a 2nd monitor 27 4k 60hz for some work stuff. If u need a bigger screen/ppi density then yeah go for it but besides that you will only lose fps average and won't future proof anything.

[@sdrubaa]

That said, at least with the rx 6800 you won't have any problem with vram @ 1440p.

[@AMP889]

once you go 1440p, there is just no coming back to 1080p

[@certain_media_outlets]

rare that i can watch 1440p on youtube because of wifi

[@Jdogthepim]

Not gonna lie i have a 24.5IN 390hz 1080p and a 32IN 144hz 1440p and my 390hz gets way more use i occasionally use the 1440p for like non competitive games but most of the time the TV TCL Roku 50in 60hz and 390hz monitor get the most use.

[@corndog2181]

my phone is galaxy 22+ and is 2340 x 1080p

[@tibielias]

4K (3840x2160) on my PC and 1440p if I need to fall back in some titles.

[@TheMostSavageOfAllGeese]

Exception would be the sweat-Lordes that mostly play super competitive FPS titles and only care about fast response times and highest frames. Zowie sells the buhgeezus out of 1080p 240-360hz monitors for years for $400-$600. 🙃

[@Crossfire2003]

I'm using a 4K UHD monitor.

[@700mobster]

my samsung galaxy s21 plus has a 1080p 120hz display lol. Alot of high refrsh rate phones still come with 1080p displays especially if they are oled Edit: I finished the video and to add to the samsung topic their galaxy S line is all 1080p except for the ultra models, those are 1440p 120hz amoled screens. Their tab s series tablets are some weird resolution between 1440p and 2160p.

hey tech you should know this. but signal dictates your experience of resolution

My Samsung is 3088 1440

[@Ladioz]

No way. 1080p is more than enough. There is also a big difference between $120 and $240 1080p monitors. 1080p is also less upkeep in terms for performance. The only games that struggled with visuals in 1080p are probably red dead redemption and battlefield.

[@TheRealDlo]

Once you play 1440p 165hz it's impossible to go back.

[@Ladioz]

@@TheRealDlo Maybe in the next few years. I only game 2-3 hours a day. Its not what it used to be. I spend more time watching youtube and tv series on my computer. I will play something like cyberpunk, hitman or starwars jedi for a few hours and call it a day

[@felipeaugustobatista6444]

​@@TheRealDloI have a 1440p 144hz monitor (Dell S2716dg) but its a waste, my PC is a i7-6700k with a 1070 and it cannot max the monitor, I could have saved a lot of money if I went 1080p. Fun fact it is still the fastest PC on my family, I am building a new one (4070) and there is a handfull of people waiting to see who can keep my old PC.

[@powerbutton2694]

My 3 year old Samsung A51 runs 1080p and my much older Samsung 5 Neo that i use to fall asleep cause of tinnitus runs 720p... there is no need for me to upgrade phones as often as some people do for pretty pictures🤨. I put that money into my expensive gaming pc to see pretty pictures😂

[@wrusst]

Here's me with my 720p phone

[@MpSniperM1911]

still rocking the iphone 8 here too. The worst part about it is that i was using a galaxy S7 which have a 1440p display.

[@wrusst]

@@MpSniperM1911 be fair in the hand sets he looked at they seem to be concentrating on refresh rates instead

[@MpSniperM1911]

@@wrusst the galaxy A22 looks nice because it have a 85 Hz oled display. With small screens having a 4k display is not the priority

[@OcihEvE]

There is truth to what you are saying but there is also missed data. If 80% of Steam is 1080p, they are not the active majority but they are the direct line to growth. If you decide to do consumer friendly build guides, you need to add Monitor resolution to the build. If that is part of the upgrade, it is going to make a far more impacting decision on going down the rabbit hole. Unfortunately the 'tech youtube industry' is built around the upsell and KZbin is heading in the direction of CNN so this might be outdated commentary.

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

1440p 120hz high settings is optimal for me

[@evacody1249]

Unless you have the s23 ultra the normal size are 1080p

[@kenhew4641]

I'll switch to 1440p/4k when terrestrial broadcast switches, like how they did from NTSC/Pal standards to HDTV standards. That way you can know for sure that the tech is well mass adopted and the right time to switch. Well you have to switch anyway since they are not making 1080p content anymore like how TV stations and studios are not making ntsc/pal content anymore

[@mrgtmodernretrogamingtech6891]

For me? Low to Mid Range PC= 1080p Mid Range PC = 1440P High End PC = 4K+

I will say i been playing 1440p and i bought a 4k monitor i push my 4090 to its limits and i will say 4k its not woth it at all u less u playing adventures games in a 50 or 75 inch tv thats all so 1440p looks amazing in fps and adventures

Bought into 1440p 144hz over 5 years ago ... "downgraded" to 1080p 240hz and never looked back. No regrets and no intention to move to 1440p on the next upgrade either.

[@darkkingastos4369]

720 upscaled to 1080p is the new 1080p

[@TheRealDlo]

YES. 1440p is standard in 2023 IMO. Don't build a 1080p PC in 2023 peeps. 1440p is VERY easy to run 👍

[@weltsiebenhundert]

1080p 60Hz was the Standard 60 to 90 to 120 to 144Hz was First 1440p just sucks more Battery and cant turned off unless the >60Hz Displays

[@imo098765]

On the topic of 4K and UHD 2K is not 1440p, 2K is 2048 × 1080 1440p is 1.66x the pixel count of 2K

[@sheldonspider86]

Pc gamers are the only ones in the entire world who care about 1440p. Every other form of entertainment media has selected 4k as standard target about 3 years ago.

[@xlieon]

This guy is so smug sometimes. "What phone has 1080p anymore" 🙄

[@MpSniperM1911]

the galaxy A22 is good because of the 720p display, it have more battery time. Besides that there is no advantage.
