Does 1440p Really Look Alot Better Than 1080p

[NiBy]

im thinking of making the jump to 1440p. I have a high end rig that was built earlier this year. But the questions is does 1440p really look a decent amount better and does it look smoother as well.

scenario: If both a 1080p display and 1440p display are both locked at 30fps. obviously the 1440p display will look better because more pixels but will the more pixels also make it look smoother.

I am asking with the scenario above because running 1440p obviously gives lower fps and im looking to get a 1440p g-sync 144hz display


So to sum up in a nutshell. Does 1440p noticeably look better and does it look smoother if it were getting the same frame rate as a 1080p display when comparing them side by side

I hope this isnt too confusing to understand, please let me know if it is

The thing is that you are pretty much bound to say that since you made those changes- there is a need for people to justify there own decisions and purchases. I'm not saying that you are wrong, and if you feel/believe that then you have a worthwhile upgrade. The OP really needs to see any differences he can perceive first hand then decide. We are all different, our eyes are different, the environment we are in, the equipment is different, your perceived improvements are not his.

I made the jump from 1080p to 1440p in 2013 for Crysis 3 (27" Dell). I never looked back. Yes, it looks that much better. Especially if you game with racers and do flight simming.

So end result is Op really needs to hike his butt down to the comp store somewhere and take a good look personally at the monitors, at roughly the same distance away from where he'd normally sit, then decide for himself if it's worth it or not.
