Wtf you on about 4k for again? digi said he's got a ****ty 24 inch Dell monitor which I guarantee isn't 4k, so why does he need a video card to support 4k? Sure, he can buy a 1080 or even a 1080ti and not need to upgrade for awhile, but GPU prices are ****ing stupid right now, so giving yourself headroom at this point is a bad idea. Go cheap to max or near-max 1080p, or if you must, go big and upgrade your GPU, monitor, and probably other things while spend 2-3X what you set out to spend.
Hahahahahhaha
4K movies have 4:2:0 on the chroma, which means it's full 1080p chroma..
Which means UHD blurays downsampled will actually give you a Significantly more true to life 1080p experience vs standard 1080p blurays.
So the benefit is there, EVEN WITHOUT a 4K panel..
Now,, as for video settings.. if you buy something like a 1050Ti, that's basically the same performance level as a 7970 released in 2011, 6 years ago..
This is a bad place to be, because it will not be enough for ANY of the latest games coming out, it's outdated before you even buy it.
It can not support any of the latest competitive games at competitive framerates.
Now, you're gonna say something about 60hz and 60fps.
hahahaha
well, you're wrong again there, because Nvidia now has something called Fast-Sync.. It uncaps the engine frame rate, and only pulls the lastest triple buffered frame to draw on screen.
In many of the latest competitive games, Even on 60hz monitors there is a significant reduction in input latency and game response. This gives anyone playing a Substantial competitive edge..
This latency benefit is especially pronounced at approximately 400-500 fps which is possible with 1080ti using medium-high settings..
because your input timing window is ~ 4 to 6x expanded vs someone on the 1050ti using the same settings.
