Is $200 for 2880x1620 worth it over 1920x1080?

I'm looking at laptops and I'm not sure if buying MSIs 3k display (2880x1620 ips) is worth it over a 1920x1080 90% ntsc display, they are both 16:9. The MSI display would be a 15.6in screen and the 1920x1080 would be for a 17.3in screen. The 3K display would only cost me $200 more, the laptops are pretty much the same specs.

If they where both 17" id say yes but 3k on a 15" screen is pointless. Save your money.

3K seems overkill for 15.6in

The higher resolution the display, the more the GPU has to push, but if it has decent downscaling definitely get the 3k display for a very good pixel density; making sure it can downscale good.

The laptop I am looking at is a 880m which has 8gb vram, so it should have no trouble displaying 3k games.

Oh, then there should be no problem with anything, what model is it?

i would get the 3k display, and when i  game, set it to 1600/900, at 3k, a gtx 770 can only do low settings
