There's one thing that always bothers me in every game, no matter how fancy the graphics are and that is aliasing and the shimmering caused by it. Coupled with my sensitive eyes it just kils immersion. For this reason, I've been thinking about getting a 4k monitor with a high PPI (think about 23") and a good GPU to go with it. I play mostly older games (think Skyrim and older) and my aim would be for them to have practically no visible aliasing.
Though, this would be a pretty big investment. I've found a couple of 4k 23" monitors for 350-400 euros and something like a gtx 1070 would cost me 500 euros, coming down to nearly a thousand. Therefore, before I make this investment, I'd like some advice on whether it would be worth it.
FPS will not be an issue, the 1070 should be enough to render the games I play at 4k and put 8xAA on top of it. What my question is, is whether this would actually get rid of all forms of aliasing. I'm not talking only jagged edges on the outline of objects, but also shimmering and moire patterns, which would result in basically the perfect image.
Should I blow a thousand euros on it or is that money better saved? My biggest fear is that even at 4k with AA it won't be enough to get a very smooth aliasing free image.
