Speaking as a developer; I’ve a 4K screen which is amazing for having loads of source files open at the same time, and also works for old or undemanding games. Glorious Eggroll’s version of Proton has all the FSR patches in it, so you can ‘upscale anything’. Almost any modern game, I’m going to be running at lower resolution, usually either 1440p or the slightly odd 2954 x 1662. Generally, highest-quality graphics and upscaling looks better than medium-quality native to me, for games where I have to compromise.
I would be interested in an 8K display for coding, as long as the price is reasonable. I’m not spending five grand, that would be crazy. But I’d still be upscaling for playing games, as basically no GPU could drive that many pixels.

You will never be able to game at 8k. Modern games run with 720p and 60 fps on the best GPUs, then “AI enhanced” to a vaseline coated 4k

I have a 3080 and have all frame gen tech turned off, and still, almost every game I play can hit 60+ fps and 2k resolution, a lot can do 144. I get your point, but it’s greatly exaggerated.

No they don’t. On PC you can run games at native resolution with zero “AI enhanced” stuff.

I run DOOM eternal at 4k with a stable 120 fps (not the AI enhanced interpolation garbage) with a 3080…
I couldn’t imagine going back to gaming at 60fps and is a big reason I hate console ports.

Doom is build different

The rest of my games run at 80-100 fps at 4k.
