Resolution question

[sotiris.bos]

Does it take the same amount of gpu power to uh, power let's say a 10 inch 4K display and a 30 inch 4K display? I realise the amount of pixels is the same on both screens (provided they run on the same 4K standard) but my brain tells me that the 30 inch should require more computing power. I am only reffering to pc hardware and monitors, not tablets, phones or whatever else.

Yes, it takes the same amount. Same resolution, and the display controls the PPI.

10 inch 4K display

Wait, what?

[Sarcasm]

Pixels are pixels. The size of them doesn't influence anything.

Yes, it takes the exact same amount of processing power.

It's processing the same amount of pixels, so no.

Think of it this way, when you're answering questions on a test, you do the same amount of thinking no matter how big (font size) the text is

Wow really liked that analogy. I guess 1080p and above phones/tablets do have some decent hardware in them and are not just marketing schemes. Thank you all very much.

It might require more electrical power to run a larger display but it doesn't require more processing power, this is because the GPU has to draw frames and calculate pixels, the processing power needed depends on the number of pixels that need to be calculated and not the size of the pixels

The only difference is that the monitor would pull much more power from the wall, but the GPU output is identical, assuming the monitors take the same exact connection, are the same panel type, and are the same refresh rate. Even then the difference is probably less than 0.1 of a frame, if not a fraction of it. If you took a 30" monitor and put it through that chocolate thing from Willy Wonka, it would be the exact same.

this.

 

short answer of mine: Yes, i takes same performance.

your brain cells are intelligently telling you that your logic is uncomplete.which brings you on this forum to realise you were wrong. My respect, you are not ignorant. B)
