Advice on resolution.

[TheEvanFactor]

 I have a budget 1080P card, the rx 560. I am deciding between a 1080P monitor for $200 or a 4k for $200. With the 4k I would be able to play games at 1080p, right?

 

Thanks in advance.

You would, yes. Do you have much 4K content to view on it though? That's really the most usage you'll get out of 4K if you can't power games in it and it's not big enough to make use of the extra space. It's basically useless under 30" or so without a load of scaling, and for $200, I doubt you'll have a monitor of that size. 

 

I'd advise going for a nice 1080p panel, like a Dell U2414H / U2417H / P2417H rather than a cheap 4K panel.
