1440p and 144hz g sync or 4k 60hz gsync?

[Rothfox]

Hey there! i have a question about if its better to buy a 1440p 144hz
gsync Ips pannel and how good the upscaling capabilitys look in differance to "real" 4k displays.
also i wonder if the 1440p upscaled to 4k will have a 60hz lock or if id be able to pull off 4k at 144hz with say a Acer P XB270HU ?

1440p G-Sync, will still look v pretty, I personally still dont think 4K is worth it but there are arguments against that.

You don't even need the g-sync part, 144hz will give such a smooth experience in all tasks that you'd never use a 60hz monitor again.

Nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING is powerful enough to drive 4K @ 144hz. The 980Ti only pushes 40s to 50s when driving 4K.

The choice is yours on this one, remember G Sync lowers input latency which is why most players have high refresh monitors in the first place so having 144hz G Sync is pretty pointless anyway however the benefit would only be seen in games, a 144hz monitor will run at 144hz all the time.

I chose 4K 60hz because my eyes are terrible and I (personally) don't see a difference between 60 & 144 so the extra resolution benefits me more than the extra fps. You need to decide which you prefer, higher res or higher fps.

4k

 

Pros: - visually more appealing

          -better for rendering or editing

          -great for watching movies or videos

 

Cons: - Harder to run than 1440p(obviously) 

          -Not that supported yet by other platforms or websites

          -Expensive 

 

 

Unless you want any of the pros go for 1440p and 144hz (it's better for gaming specifically FPS games)

I would say you'd get the best experience with just the 1440p 144Hz IPS G Sync over a 4k IPS 60Hz (No g sync?) display. If by upscaling you mean using DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution). Because upscaling is a little different, that's running say 1080p content on a 1440p panel and it upscales to make it look better. 

 

You wont be running 4k with the 144Hz though using DSR.

To be honest, if it's eye candy you are after get a 4K G-SYNC monitor. I have a 980ti SLI set up at the moment and driving games is difficult at ultra settings- most games dip to 50FPS minimum and it's noticeable since I've go v-sync on. Only reason why, is because it dips below my monitors refresh rate. I'll be getting the Acer 4K g-sync soon. It's worth it since you wouldn't notice the drop from 60FPS to 50FPS for a few seconds.

Thx for the answers. i will run a sli 980 ti system and thats why i was wondering about the Hz upscale capeabilitys. i was idd reffearing to DSR, and altho i do get that im probbly not going to be able to drive any game at 144hz/fps at current times, im sure (or atleast hoping) that the rumored dx12, might change that with my settup. 

to brake down my first text, wich to be honnest was horridly constructed and undirectly questioned.

i was more of wondering if a native 1440p monitor will look as good in dsr 4k (or werry close to) Real 4k sharpness or not? 

have tested 4k DSR with an old 1080p monitor and i do ofc notice an extreme increase in graphical enhanced appeal.  but its still a bit corny compeird to the real deal.

A simple answer to the question is no, it wont, however it will still look very nice and you will notice the difference

Great, thx for the answer! looks like im going for a 1440p gsync ips then.

No problem aha, best of luck, I'm 100% sure you'll enjoy it ^^

This, 1080p is always 1080p, no matter how much resample the picture quality.

 

Can i just also throw in how surprised I actually am at how well 2 x 970s in SLI can drive 4K. Seriously GTA V at 4K with almost max settings runs above 50FPS almost 100% of the time. The story is not repeated in other games however which does prove just how much effort R* put into optimising GTA V on PC but there's not a single game I can't run at 4K (OK so BAK but I won't include that for obvious reasons) with more than 40FPS which for my 60hz G Sync monitor is perfect anyway.

Yes ofc. alltho im not 100% sure how DSR works, i think i read somewhere that the single pixle you have, splits from one solid color to 4 colors if u run 1080p at 4k dsr.

so id guess its not the pixle dencity that helps dsr look sharper. but a pixel blend effect?

With Gsync so wont you notice dips down to 30 fps ether (which is the limit for Gsync). You might notice dips below 30fps, but few games dips that low unless you try and keep everything cranked to the max no mather what.
