Who the fuck wants to waste that much processing power on what’s essentially indistinguishable from 2k with a nice AA or upscaler (like DLSS or FSR) for a tenth of the processing power? It’s literally pointless and was thrown on there probably by marketing so people can see bigger numbers.

Did… people think it was anything other than “HDMI 2.1 supports it, put it on the box”?

Yeah I don’t see 8K delivering any value. My eyes can’t resolve past 4k anyway, it’ll just be heavier on the GPU and it won’t get me a damn thing.

Sure, 64k ought to be enough, yada yada. That doesn’t apply when you’re running up against biological limits though.

Okay but you can now have a larger screen with the same DPI and distance, giving you a wider fov.

I think even 4K can be overkill depending on the size of your monitor. I feel like the size of a monitor that wants 8K for good enough PPI would be impractically huge, at least for desktop use.

I’m waiting on the next hardware refreshes for 16k

Can any console even run actual 4K yet? Not just upscaled 1440p at reduced framerate?

… Yes. Many AAA games this generation can run at native 4K on Series X and PS5, but in most games with demanding graphics you have to choose between that with a 30-40 FPS target, or 1440p and 60-120 FPS with VRR.

Plenty of games give you the option of resolution/detail or frame rate.
