[SOLVED] Recording 4K Gameplay VIA Shadowplay

[justnopenope]

Hello!
I often use NVIDIA's Shadowplay program to save clips when I'm gaming with friends. When I bring up the overlay prior to starting a game, it gives me the option to pick my resolution and framerate.
1440P and 2160P are available, but I don't have a very high-end monitor (1920x1080, 60 hz). If i were to set my recording to this higher pixel count, would the recording itself actually look better than 1080P, or because of my monitor's restrictions, would it just look like normal?

Here's my specs in case they're relevant.
CPU : Ryzen 5 3600
GPU : GTX 1070 OC Armor (msi)
RAM : 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz
Storage : 256 GB NVMe M.2 SSD & 2x HDD, 1TB and 2 TB, respectively.

Recording at native resolution will always look best.
If you are playing at 1080 you should record at 1080.

You can play at 4k native even on your 1080 monitor by going to nvidia control panel and enabling DSR (dynamic super resolution) but your GPU will not give you good FPS in 4k.
