What do you mean

 

Basically, the computer is under 4 times the stress when rendering 4k as opposed to 1920x1080. This is because there's 4 times the amount of pixels being displayed. The human eye can't really tell a difference unless your screen is the size of a movie theater  :lol:

There is no such thing as excess in hardware.

The 980 isnt powerfull enough to handle Games in 4k with good Framerates. And you have to lower Settings, which is a no go for me. 4k YT Videos should work fine though, but thats nothing i care about. 1440p is my Favorite Resolution.

Yes, That is true, But one, With video that means for a certain scene you can crop more with less distortion, and two, with TVs getting larger eventually we will have an average 60 inch tv and that will probably make a difference (I personally think we will have less and less cable boxes and consoles)

Yeah, I understand that, but I wasnt sure if he was talking about recording 4k, or playing 4k
