Is It possible to play at 4k (With a 4k monitor)

[dusty bane]

playing at 4k is not recommended with those specs

[atomic prawn]

yeah thats not gonna work

gaming at 4k is stupid anyway

[dusty bane]

yeah

[steady ferry]

What would u suggest otherwise?

[atomic prawn]

1440p

[steady ferry]

I'm going to record for youtube, gaming wise

So a 2560 x 1440P monitor would be ideal for gaming?

[dusty bane]

Yes

[atomic prawn]

with a 3060, yes

[steady ferry]

Can you still record at 4k with a capture card (4k) still or na?

[atomic prawn]

record 1440p at 4k?

thats phenomenally stupid

[steady ferry]

Ik someone whos got a 2560 x 1440 and can do it, thats why i asked 😄

Least thats what they put down on YT

[atomic prawn]

record at 1440p. there's no reason to go 4k

[steady ferry]

So this would be more Ideal? https://www.currys.co.uk/products/msi-mag-275cqrxf-quad-hd-27-curved-va-lcd-monitor-black-10253467.html

[atomic prawn]

yeah that would be more ideal. i personally wouldnt get 240hz because i think its excessive

[steady ferry]

Yeah It's the price that's good, all the others are around that price so though It'd be Ideal to get a better refresh rate

[atomic prawn]

oh then yeah get that

[steady ferry]

Okay awesome! Appreciate it man, least now I can go on with the right PC this time, I have a 3440 x 1440 so gaming is screwed right now haha

[atomic prawn]

yeah np

[wild perch]

Sure at 20fps especially on newer titles

Any res is possible if you’re tolerant enough

[steady ferry]

Is this for the 4k monitor? I've decided to most likely move to 2560 x 1440p from suggestions above

until I get a better GPU, and maybr upgrade to 4k If reasonable

[atomic prawn]

Yeah that’s for 4K

[wild perch]

You could always run a 4k monitor at 1080p first until you get a better GPU

[atomic prawn]

Don’t do that

Waste of money

[steady ferry]

So would 4k work on that monitor too?

[atomic prawn]

Which monitor?

[atomic prawn]

yes. yes i am

[cunning bane]

Idkkkk gaming at 4K is pretty crisp

Streaming at 4K is kinda dumb but

I play at 4K and more intense games sometimes I play at 1440p and there’s a huge difference in quality if you regularly play at 4K

[atomic prawn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steady ferry]

https://www.currys.co.uk/products/msi-mag-275cqrxf-quad-hd-27-curved-va-lcd-monitor-black-10253467.html this one or would I need to get a 4k monitor Itself?

I'd prefer to play at 4k, only cuz It's 4k 😄 but If my PC will struggle with it, then 2560 x 1440p would be that

[atomic prawn]

hold up. that's VA, not IPS

[atomic prawn]

your pc will not run 4k well

[steady ferry]

So IPS would be better?
