You know what mate... it's like me telling you that your pc does not exist... but you're using it right now... and then me saying no you're wrong

FTFY (ish)

Except that interpolation is absolutely occurring if you're not running your monitor at its native resolution -- which will always make it look worse than no interpolation at all. On top of that, interpolating 4k down to 1080p is no worse than interpolating 4k to 1800p or 1440p. It's not that the problem only exists when interpolating below 1440p, it's that lower resolutions inherently look worse due to being a lower quality image. The damage being done by interpolation is the same regardless of the resolution once interpolation is involved.

No one is denying you that 1800p exists They are just saying that

A) Native 1800p monitors don't exist (anymore/yet) or are extremely rare. I've only ever heard of this resolution in laptops, so it makes sense that very little games would support it. Hence Nvidia DSR is the only option.

B) Since you're not running at your display's native resolution, there will be interpolation which will affect the image quality compared to native, especially if it doesn't divide equally. So running anything that is not 3840x2160 on a 3840x2160 display will look worse.

That is not to say it looks bad, since you're still running at a resolution higher than 1080p or 1440p. You're just not getting the most out of it. If it works for you, then that is really all that matters in the end, isn't it?
