will getting a 1440p monitor let me disable Anti aliasing?

[Joshontech]

I have been running at 1080p for some time now and have been using AA of some kind always. I have noticed though over the years I have had to use it less on most main stream titles like the witcher 2 and metro 2033/last light. I was just wondering if the games will keep getting better and better and I will have to use AA less and less should I stay on that path or would it be better to get a 1440p monitor? Another question I have would be, will getting a 1440p monitor make me have to use AA less and will 1440p impact my performance more than enabling AA on my 1080p monitor?

Less but your gonna need a high end aka powerful gpu to run games at that resolution. Golden rule higher the resolution more gpu processing power is needed.

At the very least you should be able to use less AA, but that probably won't make up for the extra power needed to push 1440P, unless you were using crazy AA and now don't use any.

You would really have to do the benchmarks, and you would probably have to test a few different cards.

My guess would be that Resolution will have a greater impact that AA.
Although AA can be turned up pretty high these days.

Thanks for all the quick answers guys! I have a GTX 780 Overclocked to 1275mhz with the boost clock, so as far as power goes I am good. Most of my games I have all the settings all the way to ultra plus AA to max. The only game I have to turn down AA is Metro LL because that game kicks GPU arse! I am just looking into the future for this question because it seems with every new game release for main stream games I lose 5-10 fps respectively. I do not plan on getting a second 780 for at least a year or two so I wanna make this card last for a while. If possible I would like to keep my 780 or sli 780's for at least 5 to 8 years I try to keep in line with the console updates just to say I am better haha (truthfully I have to get a Xbox One I am a huge Halo fan haahahhaha)

Just going to put my two cents in this bit.

I personally dont even use AA that much anymore. Im using a 1920x1080 screen and only find I need it in Games that Have Powerlines/Chainlink Fences everywhere.

Im sure on a 1440p Monitor (Never used one), Aliasing would be less of an issue. But of course, would require more GPU horsepower to run in the first place

 

[Joshontech]

So basically what you are all saying is that getting a 1440p monitor will defeat the purpose of using less AA because it will make up the difference in gpu power needed to render each frame?

 

[caj]

We saying it sure will require less AA but future onwatds all your gpu purchases are gonna be high end models.

Why turn it down at all? I have a 1440 monitor and gtx780 classified, not overclocked, and run everything on ultra and with AA no problems. Generally just turn everything to max, the 780 is a beast. Looks pretty sweet.

Yes I agree the 780 is beast but metro last light and even metro 2033 strugle with AA turned all the way up on some levels. The lowest frames I have gotten in LL was about 35FPS but it really gets sluggish down at that FPS on LL I really don't know why. Every other game runs no problem even with super sampling enabled so my question is aimed at the future when I will have to turn down AA just to get decent frames.
