1080p on a 1440p monitor

[LyricalRain018]

Heya guys, just wanted to ask if my GTX 1070 isn't able to run a game at 1440p 60fps and I turn the resolution down to 1080p on my 27 inch monitor, will there be a major difference?

A 1070 should run most games at 1440p 60+fps

Lowering the resolution will put less work on the gpu so it could make it perform slightly better, but chances are, with a 1070 at 1440p the cpu would be the bottleneck, not the gpu being too weak.

Just dont put MSAA on 8x and you should be fine,  if you arent getting 60 fps you just turn down MSAA

everything will look fine if you disable display scaling

that way it can natively display 1080p in the center of the monitor with black bars around it.

OR run the games in windowed mode

Was going to say, don't drop resolution, just turn off or down a couple settings, I promise you will barely notice a difference. I run Battlefield 1 4k at 60 FPS by just turning off AA and lowering two of the effects settings from ultra to high on my 1080, your 1070 should handle things fine.
