I have a old pc. Built atleast 6 years ago maybe more. It has a 1080 FTW2 GPU in it and that still plays everything at 1080p and 120-144fps no problems at all. I only have a 1tb HDD and a 240gb sdd. The sdd has windows and then one or MAYBE two games im playing a lot on steam. Everything else is on a HDD. It’s kinda just getting to the point where it’s annoying and I want more sdd space. But I’ve made it this far. Whenever I upgrade in the next few years it’s gonna hurt. But I honestly don’t think I’ll go to 4k. Maybe 1440. 4k just doesn’t seem worth it and doesn’t look that much better if at all really. I think we peaked at 1080p and 24inch computer monitors. Sorry lol
Resolution matters a lot less than pixel density. 1080p above 24" looks like shit so if you’re happy with your monitor size, definitely no need to upgrade
1080p at 24” looks kinda like butt. My last monitor was 1440p at 25” and that I thought was perfection. 2x anti aliasing was all you needed to make everything look nice, but it wasn’t hard to run. 4k isn’t worth it unless you have a REALLY big screen. It takes so much more power to draw 4k vs 1440p and at regular monitor sizes it doesn’t really look that much better.
Also my 1080 absolutely struggled to play games, even at 1080p (what I’d have to revert to when it couldn’t run them at 4k). I tried battlefield 2042 but I struggled to even get 60 fps in that. This Reddit post from 3 years ago mirrors that so I know it’s not just me. And looking at black ops 6 the 1080 would struggle to run that at over 100 gps on anything other than the bare minimum settings.
