1080p in 4k?

[Antman507]

Alright, i watch a lot of movies and shows but would like to experience them in 4k. I also play a lot of games but im not sure my pc can run them all at 4k. So my question is, can i get a 4k monitor to watch stuff on but play games in 1080p for better performance?

(im running a Ryzen 7 1700, rx 580 8gb, 16gb 3000mhz ram)

yes. at setting options in graphics set the resolution to 1080p.

would also ask as to why not get a 144hz monitor over a 4k on. the difference will not be huge. but performance yes will be better

 

Ltt has done vids in the past on this subject. someone will quote the correct vid

the difference is huge, but only on huge screens, not small monitors,  id say 4k is good for 32inch+
