Reduce resolution from 1440p to 1080p

[Beware to the deep of the see]

I want to ask is it possible to reduce 1440p monitor resolution to 1080p with pixel scale 1:1 and to have around game black frame and to have pixel scale 1:1, essence is to have 1080p monitor on 1440p with pixel scale 1:1.If it is possible i need the steps how to do it. Thanks!!!!

Depends on your setup, but generally speaking you can choose the resolution in your graphics control panel. Easiest way to access it is to right click the desktop and open the application.

For the black border, yoiu should be able to adjust your monitor settings and choose scale size.

Yes, and there are at least two different ways of doing it. Either on the monitor settings themselves, or in your computers graphics control panel, but its hard to say exactly without knowing the system details.

With Nvidia, go to the Nvidia control panel, click on "adjust desktop size and position", and choose "no scaling".

In the past, some monitors also had the option in their menu. Some may still do that.

what is better gsync 1080p 144hz or 1440p 144hz for gigabyte g1 1070 with i5 6500 for playing newer games on max like doom fallout mafia 3 bf1 and other aaa and aa games and also for lol and i wont upgrade my computer in next 3-4 years. I never noticed tearing and didnt know that exist since i look for new monitor i playing now on 1080p 60 hz and never player on 1440p monitor and 144hz what is better for me?

That's a personal decision. You'd likely be happy either way, but you'll likely be choosing between:
1) higher resolution, with sharper image, but you might have to lower a few settings.
2) lower resolution, with grainier or smaller image, but you'll be able to get closer to max settings (you still may need to reduce settings here and there).

That choice will always exist when looking at 2 different resolutions. Higher resolution is a setting of its own. The question you have to ask is if the higher resolution setting is worth more than having higher of the graphical settings. Both improve image quality.
